Hi there terrysway and I'm glad you've found us. This site can make such a huge difference,as it has done for me and many others. Its a safe place to chat when we feel down,when we want advice or just to have a general chat. The BLF also have a fantastic helpline,with nurses and other qualified staff who you can call and its all confidential etc.

I'm certain you'll fit in just fine and I look forward to getting to know you.

Take care.

You will be far from alone here, many members suffer from COPD in all it's different stages. I have looked at various forums on the web and this one is the most active, English speaking, forum I have been able to find. I can also vouch for Sonsafc's comment "is as good or better than your own family" so welcome.
