hi i just wanted to introduce myself to the group. I'm 54 and was diagnosed 14 years ago and more recently with bronchiectasis and a giant bullae in each upper lobe of my lungs
i came across the group while looking for information on my own copd and i'm so glad i did. although i haven't posted i have been reading the tips, advice and support you all offer each other even if someone just needs to vent.
thank you

Hi Iris30, I’m exactly the same. It’s such a relief to know others are in the same situation, and that you’re not the only one.Illness is scary sometimes, and more so when you feel isolated.
Hello and a warm welcome dmf64 . xx 😊👍

Hello and welcome dmf64 🦋🤗
I was told I have clusters of bullae at the time I was working and never understood what they were on about. I had to Google it and even then nearest I got was disappearing lung. If doctors had explained in a more simple way and earlier I might have tried harder to do something. It took a day when I couldn't breath at all to walk and thought I was going to die. I think they should sit people down for a good hour and explain what it really means and what can happen. It was explained to me so quick and casual I just thought well I feel OK. I still need it explained 6 years later. I do know I am disabled now can't do much without being out of breath.
