Hi there Ken I'm also stage 4 C.O.P.D ,but I try not to think about what stage I'm at as I find it a it depressing, I do respect it though and I my best to be cautious about other people's colds and illnesses in order to protect myself, I'm not really new to this, not I live a very active and I dont seem to have much time to get involved, but when I do I usually fall asleep,

.I must say I do find this club very informative, and useful ,I hope that you are keeping well,and taking care of yourself. God bless you Ken 🙋‍♀️

Hi Ken, I've not been diagnosed yet but have breathing problems most days and night too, message me anytime, it's good to talk, it makes you feel better to know other's understand what you're going through.

[Ken1234 in reply to marrigold]

Hi Marrigold

If you have not been diagnosed yet

Let’s hope it’s not to bad

The most important thing thing is to stop smoking if you do

My biggest regret is that I didn’t stop earlier

Hope you don’t smoke

The difference if you stop will be amazing

Unfortunately I left it to late kept stopping and starting again ho well

Take care 👋

[marrigold in reply to Ken1234]

Hi Ken,

Thanks for the tips but I've never smoked in my life, although as a child the whole household smoked, parents and elder sisters and I always had terrible coughs, maybe it was due to their smoking, who knows. I'm on my inhaler today, I had two puffs this morning and i can feel my breathing going again, I try to save my inhaler until I really need it, sometimes I wake up at night wondering why I can't sleep then realise i'm not breathing too good so I need my inhaler. I did the puffer test at the doctors and they said my lungs were fine, its a mystery. I eat menthols, they seem to help a bit.

Hope you feeling ok today.

Have a good weekend if you can.
