Hi COPD community,I reference this site and attached the link below with the permission of the publisher.I found it very informative.It helped me in referencing answers to my questions about everything COPD. I have referenced hundreds of reputable sites and found this one to be excellent in my humble opinion. I think it may clear up some of the questions posted here regularly.Remember though it doesn’t replace your medical professionals advice. Regards Bobby 1962

Wow this was very informative thank you, but I needed Dr Google to help me with a few definitions!! Thank you

Yes it can require a little work with terms you aren't familiar with but if you scroll down the menu on the left I think there are versions for patients . Great information though. I found myself going back to it several times and picked up something new each read.Cheers Daisy

Hi Bobby,

Very informative, but from my own point of view, rather depressing!

[Bobby1962 in reply to anng18]

I am so sorry anng it wasn't my intention to depress you . It's just that I see posts here all the time asking questions about things and I think that link covers just about everything people ask about or aren't sure about. Happy to chat.

Hi Bobby,

No, I'm fine. I thought the article was excellent. It's just sometimes I like to go into denial. Doesn't last for long. Do Keep posting anything that is scientifically good. Sometimes Dr. Google is so superficial, it is not worth reading.

Thanks so much for your concern and do take care.

Thanks for that I was worried I upset you. I am getting pretty annoyed myself at the moment with the constant chest congestion and breathing difficulties Symptoms would suggest my copd is going next level and I am struggling with it on a physical and mental level. I am so used to reasonably good health the reality of chronic illness is hard to take. Anyhow , such is life.
