I called and asked about decreasing by 1 mgm etc. The message through the nurse was "no" -- will have to wait till I see her in January to talk about it. My lung function is so poor and I got so short of breath cutting back to 5 mgm it was frightening. Everything seemed to get so bad so quickly -- on 8/27 I was SOB but functioning. Sept 1st I was profoundly SOB and it was a struggle to do anything --eat, fix a meal, bathe, etc.
