manorpark60• in reply to
About the same as me then, what stage are you now? J
• in reply tomanorpark60
The never really told me BUT have told me I won't survive pneumonia again.
That amazed me as the never told me I have ever had pneumonia BUT did say am not suitable for lung transplant.
Never told me why but am pretty good at guessing.
Could be ad not survive being ventilated as it can't be smoking As the know I would kick off.
So I have to get my jollies from giving the shhhh and making sure I get best care treatment on offer.

Decided to cut right down
Hi manorpark60 welcome to our forum. This is the place to be if you have any questions about COPD or any other ant lung conditions. You will find many people on here with lung conditions that are willing to help in anyway they can.
Congratulations on giving up smoking as that is the best thing you can do to help yourself. Diet and exercise can also help slow down the progression of COPD.
I hope you find our forum useful and make plenty of new friends.
It's a bit quite on here today with it being Sunday.
Have a good day.
Regards. John
Thank you for the welcome john,l am sure it will be a great help joining today and speak to other people with the same complaint.regards j
Love 'ant lung' condition., John. What might that be? I think I feel an illustration coming on.....
Hi ManorPark. You will find this a brilliant site, with lots of help and support. I do hope you haven't got John's Ant Lung. It sounds really nasty. I wonder if it might be something like Farmer's Lung? I think I'll ask Malcolm.
Sorry, ManorPark. Pastmebest brings out the worst in me. We have, as they say, 'history'.
All the best and keep us posted

Hi Katinka46 I'm not surprised that you haven't heard of Ant Lung as it is very rare and very nasty. There is only one person in the whole world that has it, ME. You get it from having a bad back which makes you walk very slowly. This allows ants to catch you and crawl up your legs. 🚶🏻🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜The only prevention is to wear Galvanised Metal Cycle Clips on me Baggy Trousers to keep them at bay or ride me Push-Bike everywhere. 😳😂😂😂😂
The only other prevention is to turn off the predictive text on me iPad to stop it writing a load of nonsense. That would make life a bit boring so I'll leave it switched on and who knows what strange lung disease I'll have tomorrow. 😳😂😂😂
It's not very nice blaming a defenseless old gentleman for bringing the worst out of you. You are old enough to take responsibility for your own actions. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. Tut! Tut! Tut!🙄😂😂😂
🐑🐑🐑🐃🐑🐑🐑
Aww..... John, you know you like it really. Defenceless? You? Wait till Velvet and Jennifer get going on you.
Love
Kate xxxx

If you are after sympathy then try another forum. You still have MY HOE. I am sending you a small gift of an anagram (stan) just empty the contents into your wellies, will keep your legs warm all day and don't say no-one ever thinks about you.
Have a lovely week John.

Dear Dr Hidden (agony aunt) I have Ant Lung Disease which is a very rare that causes me lots and lots of suffering. Don't worry yourself about that though, my main problem is that I go on this website looking for a bit of sympathy and support to help me get through each day and all I get is verbal abuse and laughed at by a load of unsympathetic women. I've upped all my medication 10x but still can't cope with all the women having a go at me. All I have for comfort is me Black Sheep, Pork Pies and rarely a small Glass of medicinal Guinness. Is there any advice you could offer to ease an old gentlemans pain and suffering?
OH! Forget that for a lark. I've just realized your one of the women I'm talking about. I'll just have a talk to me Black Sheep instead. I'll most probably get more sense and sympathy out of him.
Have a nice day. 🌞
🐑🐑🐃🐑🐑🐑
Ha Ha
Defenceless old man 😂😂😂
You have the cure to Ant Lung on your feet !!
Hob nailed boots !!!!
Set a pork pie trap....place a piece of pork pie on the ground...wait until the little beasties are swarming all over it...then do the River Dance on them 😂😂😂

Are you Serious?
Does it deserve an illustration?
Think I feel one coming on...

Oh! Spent most of the day at hospital appointments yesterday so didn't get on here much and look what happens when I don't keep an eye on what's going on. All you girls are ganging up on me and taking the micky out of my poor state of health. Shame on you. 😳😬😬😬
I am an Old Defenseless Gadgie Bloke and that's why I have a very rare Black 'Rotweiller' Sheep to protect me.
I couldn't possibly waste a piece of delicious Pork Pie on an Ant Trap. I just can't bring myself to do that, it would be sacrilege. I was thinking of using a 14lb sledge hammer to bash then but I like the idea of using me Hob Nail Boots and Practicing me Riverdance at the same time. I could have won Gold if they'd had that in the Olympic Games. 😳😂😂😂
"Thanks" for your concern but with all them laughing faces I don't think it is very genuine.
🐑🐑🐑🐃🐑🐑🐑
Ha !!!😂😂
Rottweiler Black Sheep, what a joke.
The ladies on here have REAL pets.
Bev (cal) has Rory, her pet pussy cat....it's a bloody lion, but l won't break the news to her, l don't want to hurt her feelings.
And l myself have my famous Assistance Pitbull Dog called Fang....enough said 😂
Take a tip from me....another free one.....
Lock up your Black Sheep !!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🐎
Appearances can be deceptive. My Black Sheep was highly trained by the SAS, hence the black coat which was awarded to him for outstanding bravery in the face of death.👹
Cats pretending to be lions and Pitbulls trying to sound hard by calling themselves Fang don't frighten Black Sheep. You've just made him giggle by what you said. Anonymouse 🐭 has just read what you said as well and is now rolling about the floor laughing. 😳😂😂😂
Thanks for another FREE tip. Another step towards a free book. 🙄😂😂😂
🐑🐑🐑🐃🐑🐑🐑
Ha...anonymous 🐭 and 🐑, ...yum yum
Just tasty little canapés to Roary and Fang

Looks like you women have taken over manorpark60's post velvet. You'll be getting into trouble again with all the emails they'll be getting. They came on here looking for help and support and look what they get, you lot picking on me. It's disgraceful and I can only apologise to manorpark60 for all your disgraceful behaviour.
My excuse is that I have to defend myself. what's yours ladies?
Sorry manorpark60. 🙄😬😬😬
Listen here Baggy,
You have sneaked your flimsy excuse for you reprehensible behaviour, above my genuine appology to Manorpark.
One only has to look at the times of the replies to see mine was first.
For you it was a crafty afterthought to try and pass the blame onto us ladies....
Well you have fooled nobody !!
You are a disgrace to your black sheep designer label clothing, and l for one will never endorse your label again.
You,... you.... scoundrel

Hi,
You'll like it here.
Tell us a bit about how things have gone for you.
I am interested so much as I am a new diagnosed guy and look for how the COPD progresses.
The GP said it was mild but I'm just took my last doxycyline this morning. That's after a course of eythromicn and predsolone, my spelling sucks. All in a month.
I kind of feel like a fraud. I was severly short of breath, got an emergency GP who said it was an exacerbation. 2 weeks after being diagnosed?
It felt good but the sputum was ugly, posted it here and the folks said go back to GP.
I did, he gave me the doxy, but this mornings sput was same as the beginning.
Was right gasping yesterday, but fine today.
I dunno.
Hey sorry yo go off on ya.
Sorry to hear you are haveing a rough time of it at the moment, hope it improves soon.l had two spiros done this year, the one at the doctors said lwas moderate and the one at the hospital said it was normal so in no mans land at the moment.l find breathing exercises a help.j
welcome to the group hope you find it helpful
Thank you for the welcome, its good to share things.
Hi Manor Park, Welcome to the group. Well done on giving up smoking, it isn't easy is it. I see our celebrety member with ant lung has said Hi to you. What can I say?

Hello mp60,
A warm welcome from me. It's a fine place to be for help and friendly advice, and even come in for a chat and a laugh. You will soon get to know everyone. Congratulations on packing in the cigarettes - many of us on here know how difficult it was. I've got copd and I think it was diagnosed a couple of years ago, maybe longer. I take Fostair and salamol mainly Fostair twice a day and salamol if I' m going to do some strenuous work in the garden.
Enjoy your time with us
