Close Anonymous Unfriend Friend Requested Friend Load More Close Destination Page Area Group Destination Content Title Title Article Type Copy comments edited She is 71, in Hospice care, and takes many medications, including Breo Ellipta, which I know is a steroid. She also took Symbacort for at least a couple of years before Hospice became involved. Her back is very bent, and she suffers terrible pains in her arms and back from osteoporosis. She's mostly bedridden, other than being able to walk with a walker through the house for 10 minutes or so. I hate to see her in such pain, but she needs all the meds she's taking for her emphysema. Not sure what can be done, but I thought I'd put this question out there.
