just to let you know my breathing is a lot better lately I’m not so breathless I think having the steroids and antibiotics helped but because was coughing quite hard they said my pain was muscular ……anyway since then I’ve taken up a bit of fitness 😂 I’ve started off very slow on a rowing machine an over 6 weeks I’ve lost just under half a stone my legs are killing ( still got another 2 stone to go ) but the one thing I’ve learnt is you no your own body an what it can do an it’s ok to get abit breathless And also you can live with copd an don’t give up on anything as long as I do my breathing I do ok hopefully next update will be I lost another half a stone hope your all safe and well

Kind regards

Yvonne

Well done! I'm so glad you feel better. Since my lungs diagnosis and high dose steroids, I've put on over five stone which has made breathing even worse. I start the gym next week and hoping I can get some of it off. Hopefully, I'm as successful as you 🤞🏼😊

slow and steady an you will get there 😊 and you will get to no your limits good luck with your weight loss . I’ve put three stone on since my diagnosis and I think been so breathless scared me into doing more so I piled the weight on an left me feeling so down . I knew when I saw a recent photograph that this wasn’t me and I needed to do something .good luck we can do this 💪xx

As others have said Well Done, its an achievement and you should feel proud of yourself. I am sure you must be feeling better in yourself and your breathing must be feeling better as well. Keep up the good work you will be super fit and summer ready x

Good for you!!! Being active helps loosen the mucus and makes it easier to cough up.
