Hello Martymack69,

I cannot offer assistance as I have copd, but I have found a link to a previous

message on Health Unlocked which may help you.

Good luck to you.

Hi Marty Mack, Breathtakers is the site for people with Obliterative Bronchiolitis. Is that the condition you have? That site seems to concentrate on children with the condition and as I am adult with it was not very helpful. Also, the site is a bit sleepy. Not much happens. This is the site for any lung conditions. So tell us what you have and what help you want and people will respond.

All the best

Hi Martymack69 , I'm in the UK but, because we breathe the same air I guess we are all the same just plant our feet in different places.

Sorry I can't help with an answer for you but just thought I'd say Hi because that's what everyone did when I first arrived (their a really nice bunch on here)

Have a great day!
