Hi, I'm curious, like Sahan. I've heard that my Advair and Spiriva are bad for bone health(for one thing). I've been told I have osteopenia so I'm a bit nervous about taking the inhalers.

The inhalers don't even seem to help. Told that I have mild emphesema, and had multiple pulmonary nodules and non specific masses on lower lobes of both lungs, on a CT last year. Still don't know the update on that info. Only know that inhalers don't seem to do anything. Do they help if you can't…
