Am I the only COPD sufferer in the Isle of Man?

[Supt524]

Just been diagnosed. Looking for someone nearby for moral support. Nearest (according to the website) is 70 miles away in the UK. Anyone nearer

Hi

The “ near me” is inconclusive, not every body completes their profile.

There is a support group, if close to you.

Brilliant. Thank you. Away for the August meeting but I have put the September meeting in my diary.

Hi Supt524 that's great ! If you'd like us to arrange for someone from the group to give you a ring and tell you a bit more about the group and what they do, what the meetings are like etc, just let me know and we can arrange that !

Best wishes,

Ben

That would be really good. Recently admitted to hospital with pneumonia and, whilst there, was diagnosed with COPD.

Came as a bit of a shock and I really would like to chat to someone.

Hi there,

That's no problem at all

I have taken your phone details off the post, just for your own safety and data protection - but I'll send you a private message now and we can take it from there!

Best wishes,

ben

I've sent you a private message now Supt524 - it should be showing up in the 'chat' option at the top of this page.
