I was diagnosed with moderate COPD two years ago (I had started experiencing shortness of breath), and my new pulmonologist put me on Symbicort. One day in, my symptoms were gone. I also have a rescue inhaler, and I think I used it once. I love the stuff, and my mother, who has more severe COPD, also uses it.

Hope you find a way of dealing with the cost...I'm also on Medicare and i have a D plan, and luckily for me I can afford my copay. When you sign up, you look for the plan that gives the best deals on your prescriptions. We have a Medicare supplemental plan with a company who does that legwork for us.
