Thanks for info gained from this site. 5 years registered but but tend to read only. Have picked up lots of tips. Thanks everyone. My problem is emphysema at severe stage with fev1 of 33.

We all use the site differently, some reading and not posting, some coming on to post but not reading others contributions and some being fully involved with it all. Whatever is good for you is fine. I am pleased the forum has been of benefit by giving you tips you can use.

Hi, now you have posted maybe we will see you again? Perhaps sharing tips of your own.

No good with computers but l might master it one day!

You already have by answering me here and giving tips to Daffodil.

Lungs, hello and welcome to the forum.

Isn't it odd how we all have different reasons that make us reply.

I took time and followed posts also.

I too have followed and not posted but a new phone and the app I can now see more posts and today I replied to 3 has I was looking for info that might help me I don't know what Fev is I only know I have cops stage 4 was mentioned and when I looked that up is said it was end of life I don't feel like I'm dying I'm only 59 and feel fine at the moment so I think I need to find out more but doctors are useless so I went to a couple of breath easy meetings and gain a lot but had to stop going as the church hall they had it in had a bad case of damp/mould which made my chest worse x Happy Easter maybe you might reply to my posts one day

Hi daffodil, I am sorry you are not very well. I am not able to help you but maybe you could ring the blf help line and I am sure they could give you some answers. Take care.

What a lovely name.My only advice to you would be not to fret. You said you feel fine so enjoy. I have tried to answer you three times but not sure my replies were sent so forgive if you get several. My tip to you is always read what Stone writes. Stone is a member on this site and is a mine of information. Best wishes

welcome Lungs! i too have been a member for several years and read the posts all the time. i find lots of good info that helps me to understand what is going on with my COPD. i now have only 25% FEV1 and the only real difference in how i feel when i was 31% is i tire much quicker. sleep is an elusive monster! welcome and keep breathing!!
