i have nothing to loose ,i really i don't know what will happened next ,i suffer from emphysema and chronic bronchitis
Hello podmore, have you finished your antibiotics? Starting to attend the gym is a good move, though some find the sauna makes breathing easier I know that others struggle with it. If you are feeling great than you must be doing something right! 
I am not sure I understand what you mean by gambling with your life. I hope you are taking good care of yourself. Don't forget that if something is worrying you or getting you down you can always call the lovely BLF nurses on 03000 030 555 between 9 and 5. x
good morning Toci , i have enough of feeling very tired, i still take antibiotics every day ,specialist said to me i have lung of 70 years person ,scan show my lung is very bad , i have nothing to lose ,that why i start to go to gym sauna ,thank you Toci for your support ,havea nice day
My lungs are well over 100! Take no notice. Feeling tired all the time can get you down though. Do try to pace yourself, doing just a little at a time. Do you have any help? Please ring the BLF, they will be able to give advice on how to get any help you need. Hang in there. xx
Good morning my name is giorgio ,what is BLF please ,you and I a bit the same
Good morning, The British Lung Foundation (BLF) are the ones who run this forum. Their telephone number is 03000 030 555. They have nurses there who can help and give advice. They will ring you back and help all they can. They will be there until 5 pm today.
Hi podmore,congrats on the gym work,it should help you. I wouldn't be worrying to much about the 'lung age' I always think you're as good as you feel,I don't take to much notice of numbers!
I'm not sure either about the gambling with your life? So can't comment on that
Take care, Wendells xx
Hi 123podmore I also go swimming I have lower back problems so find it not so bad in water I think we all have to keep moving best of luck
I suffer from Bronchiectasis.I've been to the gym for a number of years. In between I had some nasty infections that required hospital treatment. I am now with permanent antibiotics to treat TB and pneumonia. yet, I've gone back to the gym because it does me good
So, fear not and exercise!
