hi Antony, ok now i can understand what you ment by all your life.. theres many members on here that have had asthma from a very young age and later in there lives diagnosed with Copd,

i have asthma and copd and its not an easy thing to live with so i feel for you and hope you soon.

i know from when i was on prednisolon it made me eat a lot more then i had ever eaten before in my life and i had to put a lot of effect into getting back to my normal weight.

i think if i was you and was stragling to walk 10 feet id be on the phone for a ambulance .

Hi Antony, I have a salt pipe and when first bought last year, used for short while then stopped as didn't see much difference. THEN, I walked into local health shop to get some arneca tablets, (I use instead of anti inflammatories as they make my chest bad) and was very breathless. Very knowledgeable owner after being informed of my severe COPD asked if I had a salt pipe, I said yes and he said 'you don't use it'!! I got it out again and started using for at least 15mins daily since August and I've noticed a difference AND I'm informed my snoring is much reduced.

Please persevere and good luck.

I swear by my Salt Pipe, I break up the 15 mins a day, Morning before I do my Sats, evening before I take my Inhalers, makes it easier to "Puff" at the inhalers, I feel better for taking the Salt pipe, I'm also on the List for Double Lung Transplant. Good Luck Antony, Persevere with the pipe. x
