Aw Pauline, I've only had mine 5 years ... no worries ... I'll catch up soon!

(only joking - sorry, I try and not get too serious about it - hope you don't mind)

How you doing, what help/treatments are you getting?

Great to have you around - there's lots of sensible people here ... and me!

Hi Pauline nice to meet you. I have had copd for around 8-9 years as well. I thought it was around 5-6 but a friend who was diagnosed a year or so earlier than me said it was longer. You have certainly come to the right place as we are a very friendly, helpful bunch so don't be afraid to post or just join in with replying to others posts. x

Hi Pauline welcome to the best place, you will get lots of good advise on here don't be afraid to ask anything. I have copd and was diagnosed 20 yrs ago although it is a progressive illness you learn to cope along the way, staying positive will help. You don't say what stage you are at but there are lots of help including a rehab course which I think is a must, you meet with lots of people in the same boat who understand what you are going through. Hope to hear from you soon take care.

Love Sue

Hi Pauline, I have been coping with COPD for the past 14 years. I always see the glass half full rather than half empty. Welcome aboard.
