Just a quick note to say hi!
Funny....my name is Ron also.....I also have COPD & PTSD and take the same VA Prescribed cocktails you're taking.
I also have found that in addition to relieving my COPD I am in a better mood, get out more often and seem to have more energy. I convinced my VA Doc to keep me on a course 10 mg daily against his advice.
Personally I prefer to use the prednisone for both med problems.......I'd rather be able to breathe better and be in a better place mentally than worry abou any broken or eroded bones.
I'm tempted to stop taking my VA Meds and just take the prednisone.....but the doc won't go along.
I noticed your post was 2 years ago...hope you get this message and reply...
