hi am going for another spirometry in the next few weeks has had one last jan fev 62 % moderate COPD but am feeling good and well and have cut my seretide 500 to 250 (GP knows) has i thought it was to strong for me at the moment. and was giving me joint pain ,cramps and a huskey voise.
have not smoked since and do exercise and wow this realy helps but i know winter is nearly here so it may have been that i was feeling good because of the sun but will let you know what my results are but has some say its how you feel.
I hope it may show a little better % and i know that would be because i have started looking after myself more now and i also know my lungs will get worse over time but how long could it be before you go from moderate to severe and if i may ask how long it took other people.

I can't really help with this question as I was severe when diagnosed - FEV1 of 22%. However, that did improve to 30% when I stopped smoking. And, just to confuse matters, I think everyone progresses at different rates.
