You'll feel better now you know what stage your at Maggie. I'm stage 2 too.
As for getting your nose scraped for pnd, I've suffered it for years and am just getting a bit of relief on it flaring up, in several weeks. I'm exhausted. I might have to ask about this nose scraping thing xx
Glad you had an informative appointment Maggie and you are very satisfied with the outcome. Makes anyone feel better when the doctors are working with them, best wishes for future good appointments. x
Glad you had a good appointment. Now at least you know what stage you are. I am also moderate. Doctor wouldn't break down, and give you copy of your numbers? Seems it's your right to have a copy. I also always get a copy of my blood work, when I have blood tests done. At least your satisfied with the visit. The spirometry test shows a lot of information. Such as how much hyperinflation you have, how your oxygen is. Very stubborn dr. you have!
