Hello and welcome wraygirl79. I'm afraid most doctors don't know as much about COPD as us lot who suffer with it. We aren't professionals but we have a wealth of knowledge between us so ask away and I hope we can help.
Hello Wraygirl,welcome to the forum.I have found it to be of great benefit and everybody is sooo friendly it,s a joy to log in every day,some of the jokes are a bit dodgy though lol.D.
Welcome to the group. I have only very recently become part of it and I have learned so much and just knowing everyone is out there makes me feel less anxious....I smoked for 51 years so naturally most people put on "that" face when I tell them about my COPD emphysema the face that says "your own fault, you shouldn't have smoked" and even those in my age group that used to send cigarettes to the soldiers during the war put on that face.....Ah well...they cat't help it, bless them.
Hi wraygirl and welcome. x
You have smoked 40 years or are still smoking after 40 years?
I rather hope that you have quit because that is the first step in making the rest of your life livable.
Still you are lucky, there is quite a decent bunch of people on here that are more than willing to help and encourage you during the darker moments . . . . . and believe me we all get them.
So Welcome wraygirl79. Hopefully you have found a new home.

Welcome to this friendly caring site where we are all in the same boat but we all help each other I think of it as my extended family take care
Afternoon everyone! I'm not new to this sight as I've been here before as My 5 yr old son has asthma but now last Monday I had been diagnosed by our GP after an x-ray that I have elemetary c.o.p.d after two lots of antibiotics not clearing up an infection since February this year and no end of coughing and mucous build up,I went on Friday gone to have a spirometry test which I could hardly blow into without coughing sometimes, the nurse wrote down on paper c.o.p.d? and I told her that's what the doctor said I had I had one of my daughter's with me too at the time,so I didn't hear wrong, the nurse said the reading from the spirometry machine said the reading is 68 what ever that is and put question mark! I've been put on symbicort aswell & felt some relief from the coughing even though it hasn't gone completely but from Saturday I have had a sore throat and tongue and feel's like the mucous is starting up again anyone else suffering from the same symptoms is this the norm with this medication plus I feel completely worn out!?
