This is not a question but my experience with Spiriva.  After using Spiriva for 5 weeks the tip of my tongue felt like it was on fire.  I went off Spiria for 5 days and the pain left so I started again.

I think the pain was caused because I forgot at times to place the tip of my tongue under the mouth piece but had it inline with the outlet of the mouth piece.  I now place my tongue under the mouth piece and try and keep the rest of my tongue as low as I can when I inhale Spiriva  So far so good.

I do find the front of my shins itch when on spiriva.

You may want to rinse your mouth out after each treatment. People who take inhaled brochodilators and/or corticosteroids have a tendency to get thrush in their mouths. This manifests as a tingling sensation and also white patches on the tongue for which you may need antibiotics for. Hope this helps
