My COPD checkup today the nurse said have you used your inhaler i said no don't need to.
Then she says they need to know when i use it if it helps because that will tell them if my air ways are soft or gone hard, does anyone know if this is true or they are just trying to get me to try it ?

I have never heard of this before but I can't figure out why they would lie to you. It would be most unprofessional after all. I don't think they would care whether you used it or not as it is for your benefit not theirs. Why not ask them? x

Hi i told them i will use it when i think i need to, just don't get any SOB yet so can't see the point.
But i think when they did my first lung test they should done the test and then give me the inhaler and do it again then they would of got the answer they wanted.
