Good evening Jimmy, I am still in a state of shock and denial with many mixed emotions at the moment, I will soon have many questions to ask, maybe not all can be answered but together we may find solutions,

Kind regards Stephen;

[jimmyw123 in reply to Paleghost]

i can imagine alan, mixed emotions is often an "understatement" ,, i have found this a fantastic site, i have learned a lot, still got loads to learn, but its great to "just ask away" at any time, all the very best,, jimmy

Welcome. I have not been on the site that long but I've learned a lot and felt like part of a community.

Someone who doesn't have COPD doesn't know how difficult it is even for the most loving family and kind medical staff.

Hello Paleghost and welcome. As you say good place to learn, to share and give. And indeed a good place to dispel myths! (I'm still learning, stumbling but getting a good COPD education!) Regards, Sara

Welcome to you Paleghost. I hope that you will find this forum helpful. But were you diagnosed with COPD, bronchiectasis, asthma?

what measures have you taken to take charge of yourself, consultant referral, pulmonary nurse team referral Pulmonary Rehabilitation?

You may not know some of these vital tools for a better health.
