Short Bio

My wife has had pulmanory fibrosis for 4 years and is now getting worse, I need some help to make her life a bit easier, she coughs quite a lot but uses only Symbicort inhalers, can anyone suggest an oxygen concentrator that is reasonably priced or a drug I can get that is inexpensive, I’m not happy with her Doc and we have no health cover but Medicare in Australia is for everybody, can anyone from Australia suggest some meds she can take.
