Hi i understand the dangers of buying online and also what docs are saying,however i have severe copd and am currently in hospital and daily nebs would help my quality of life at home. Yet they still say no so what do they expect people to do. I cant go on like this !

Hi you would get more advice putting your post into the British Lung Foundation site rather than an asthma one. There are loads with copd there and some at your stage. Just follow the link. x

I have copd and am the BLF site and I know from others that nebulising isn't always the answer and there are often good reasons why doctors are reluctant to prescribe saline. Sometimes it can do more harm than good. I have seen reasons why on that site which is why I recommended the poster put their post there. It might be a good idea if you popped in and asked too? x

You are welcome. Like I said I have seen things for and against it and I would not want any harm to come to either of you. If you put nebuliser in the search box on that site all the previous posts on it will come up too.

Oh they are a very friendly supportive crowd so don't be afraid to ask x
