Hello I'm new here and I'm seeking friendly people to talk to about experiencing this hideous disease COPD. Its becoming very severe lately with 13% of my lungs that work, I can walk about 10 - 15 foot max and gasping for air! As you know the coughing & the nebs & meds make one so tired. Anyway I know there are lots of us out there & a lot worse then me!

Hello Berny, thank you for your welcoming reply. With the interests & family you have it would be hard for me to believe you could get bored. Stay well.

Hello🙋 and welcome to the site , I hope you find it as wonderful and helpful here as I have 😀
Sorry your lung function is fairly low , it has taken me a decade to improve my numbers and I hope you can. I think it is the oxygen treatment that has helped me move around better and eating better I used to be terrible 😊
Nice to meet you 😁 huff 🍎🍏💐

Thanks for your welcome reply huff. Kind words. Its good to know there are lovely people like yourself I can talk to.
Good evening JS59, and a warm welcome from me too.
I have moderate copd, and don't know any of my numbers. I am fine with Fostair, but at the moment am a bit poorly with a rotten cough and cold and feeling miserable, tired and grumpy. I really like your graphic image...it looks like he is spitting...something we are all familiar with
Keep writing in, we'd all like to hear from you.

Hello Jennifer-s, thank you for your warm welcome & making me feel comfortably wanted. xx
Hello JS59 & a warm welcome from me too. I am sure you will pat yourself on the back for joining the site & will get lots of helpful advice & sympathetic ears if you feel like a moan. Hopefully you will have a few laughs from time to time.
I have severe COPD & I know where you are coming from, it is a nightmare when the simplest task leaves you gasping for breath. You seem to have a positive attitude & without a shadow of a doubt that helps. Upwards & onwards, for tomorrow may be a better day 😊 Penny xxxx

Hello Penny, thanks for your inspiring words. I like to think there will be more laughs then moans. xx
Hi Jess I only joined myself yesterday I'm sure we will get some. support on the site .It is a really scared time isn't it it seems surreal sitting here with a oxygen mask
hi I have c o p d when I walk I feel tight chested and very breathless will jump up in bed at night short of breath .the last year it has got worse .chest infections after chest infections when winter comes spend most days stuck in doors.but well get a some days in summer were I will feel so well I for get I have c o p d .
Have you mentioned the waking short of breath to your doctors? You may have a condition called sleep apnoea which necessitates wearing a mask at night to keep your breathing at the right level.
• in reply toToci
Good morning Toci, yes I do have sleep apnoea & yes I have the machine & the uncomfortable masks ( I have 2 different ones) that go with it. After nearly 3 years of this I am still not used to the pressure on my face. It likes to bring blood vessels to the surface of the face for a few hours after you take it off. xx
Greetings and welcome,. There are a great crowd of boys and girls on this site and you will find lots to talk about.
Jo.
• in reply toBuzzytruk
Hello jo, thank you for your welcome. Feel a little rough over the past 2 weeks but I will try to uplift people rather than bring them down. Talk soon. x
So glad you found us and big welcome from me too; I've had more help on HU, on so many levels, than from all the docs put together!
• in reply toDragonmum
