Hello everyone - I’ve actually been on this forum for a couple of years but have never posted or commented. I wanted to say, however, that I have found it immensely helpful and I have learned such a lot about my condition - COPD - since joining. I think that, like many smokers, I was in denial about my condition for a long time but since quitting 5 years ago, I’ve been keen to learn more about it. I was diagnosed in 2009, having been classified as asthmatic prior to that. Amongst so many things I can relate to, it’s good to know that I’m not alone in feeling so much worse in the winter months - the damp and the cold really do affect me and it often feels as though friends and family don’t really get it .... so thank you to everyone here for unwittingly supporting me, I really do appreciate you all and this forum.....Happy Weekend all!
Zoe

Welcome, or rather Congratulations on your first post, since you've been here a while. I hope now you've broken the ice we will be hearing more from you. The cold damp weather gets to us all. You must have noticed that the number of messages increases as we become almost housebound.😊
Oh lovely to hear from you ZedKH, I only joined last Summer and so delighted that I did. Although you have been a member for some time it appears you have never actually posted something before. Be pleased, you've taken the first step, and made your first post now . Not too cifficult was it? We will all be delighted that you have now participated and hope it wont be long before you do it again. All for now. Chrys (sufferer of bronchiectasis and a list of other health complaints)
