That's great, I hope it helps your treatment. I'm yet to be diagnosed, although I'm 99% I have copd.

[Tidge in reply to Hidden]

Yes hopefully it will be. Have you had tests yet

I've had stays that were clear. I had a Spiro a couple of weeks ago but I don't get the results till the 27th unfortunately. I'm sure it will be copd though.

Hi again Tidge

I had my spiro test last weekend and it turns out I’m stage 2 as well. I have a new inhaler now called Relvar Ellipta so I’m hoping it’s going to help.

The worst part is the exhaustion and just wanting to sleep, even after I’ve only been up a couple of hours.

I make plans to do things the next day and then feel unable to do them so it’s very frustrating as I’m sure you will know.

Take good care of yourself xxx

Hi Redder, yes hopefully it will help you make sure you take with you everywhere you go, yes I can relate to that hun it is very frustrating.. Yes I walked to my Gp surgery yesterday & was shattered when I got

Take care don't over do it xxx

I have just got back from a kidney and lung review and Blood Pressure test. Couldn't believe when I asked my nurse did she know what stage of COPD i was at. She looked at my notes which told her that I was diagnosed in October 2016 but that I hadn't been put on the register? I have now been given an appointment for a COPD test review to see what stage I am at.

[Tidge in reply to LYNBURDON]

Oh my word that's not good at all left it for two years without testing or anything, hopefully it won't be too bad for you

It is too bad they didn’t tell you your FEV1% as moderate covers from 50% to 79% and the higher the number the better things are for you. You might want to ask at your next appointment unless you would rather not know.
