I have had COPD for many years, but I find I can just about manage on the two puffers supplied by my surgery.

Hello Barrymore and congratulations on posting your first blog here
If you are only 'just about managing' on your inhalers it may be a good idea to go back to your GP for re-assessment as there are new treatments available now that may help you much more than at present.
Keep in touch
Maybe you should get an appointment with a consultant then they will do spirometary, bloods, ct scan etc and then you should get a proper diagnosis.

Hi Barrymore
Please call the BLF Helpline - 03000 030 555 - on Monday morning and ask to speak to either Barbara or Muriel (the nurses) - just mention I suggested it. They will have a really good chat with you and probably suggest some things you can speak to your GP about.
Thanks
Mark
I use Spiriva and Ventolin. I may as well just spray the Ventolin staright into the air for all the good it does. But I find the Spiriva helps. I am not on anything else. I hope you can get something that is better for you xxxxx oh and welcome
