[yorkie70]

Hi Sue as a fellow Yorkie you are more than welcome from me. As the folks on board are telling you we are a mine of information and we all share. Just ask if you do not get an answer you will get good directions. Remember we have COPD but it does not control us.

Breath easy. Exercise regular.

Dave.

Regards ~ Lovelight x

[barnsleysue in reply to Hidden]

Hi love light ,thanks for yr warm welcome

[hannahmac]

The great thing about this site is nobody tells you what to do. they simply share their experience what it was like what they did and what it is like now.

the only qualification we have is that of sufferers from COPD. So we don't have a medical opinion only a layman's truth. If you swallow it, inhale it or sniff it there is bound to be somebody on this site that has done the same and either rejected or excepted the substance. No doctor has that many trials so if you want to know what happened to others this is the place to find out without being bullied into submission only suggestions. How much better could it be?

Cheers

[barnsleysue in reply to hannahmac]

Hi hannahmac ...THANKYOU so much , I am so glad I found this site ,there is lots of info from people ..I am also going to phone the lung foundation for help & advice

[Hidden]

Welcome Sue, enjoy your time here.

Any questions or queries, lots of people here to share their experiences with you.

Best wishes BC

[stone-UK in reply to Gilliann]

Hi

You have to press the'yellow button' at the bottom of page?

[Gilliann in reply to stone-UK]

Thanks for your help Stone, did that, but obviously something not working.

[barnsleysue in reply to Gilliann]

Hi gillian ...thanks for yr welcome ...lovely t join this site : ) sue

[appyalison]

Welcome sue, we don't all have COPD but many of our experiences are similar and we all want to help by sharing experiences. Sometimes it is difficult to tell families how we really feel so it s liberating to find people who know how you feel even on the dark days. Good luck. Hope you like the jokes too. Alison

[barnsleysue in reply to appyalison]

Hi ...I know people have all different illnesses on this site & yr right it's about sharing & support for each other , to know we r not alone ...love the jokes lol ...thanks for the warm welcome ..stay strong sue
