My mother went through the same thing. She was a very active woman and gradually became less and less active and got sick more often. The prednisone surpresses the immune system and so she would get another bronchial infection which caused more damage to her lungs. It's a vicious circle. I hope and pray that they will come up with better medication than prednisone for COPD soon.
