    No I haven't but can you please let me know how it goes I have COPD and have had asthma my whole life and I don't know why but my lungs have gotten to the point where even prednisone doesn't work much for me I am suppose to be on the ventilator 4 times a day use my puffer in between and steroid puffer at night so far it's just keeping me out of hospital but barely. I'd really like as much info as you can give me on how it works for you?
