Hi,

So sorry to hear your not feeling great at the moment. I take slightly different meds to you however I am home nebulised and you should feel the difference. Hopefully with the new treatment you will feel better quicker

Oh Dear it seems you are going through difficult times. 320 is my best it used to be 360 and I also take a lot of meds. My physiotherapist is preparing me for winter but he said I need to muscle train to increase lung capacity. Swimming is good if you can stand the chlore.

Anyway I have a set of exercises to do at the hospital gym twice a week, treadmill 15mn they put a programmed key in, makes me walk up slopes😃 15mn bike, hercules 5mn, leg pressing 5mn, rotating handles 5mn, walking up and down steps 5 mn, elastic band 5 mn or 3 sets of 10 stretches.

My report was lung coordination improvement, they trained me to breathe in through the nose and breathe out on effort blowing a candle tucking in the perineum.

Good luck with it all :)))
