Very interesting information. How often should you have a CTV to identify progression of Boullis Emphysema. I had a CT in 2010 and a Sprimority July 2012. CTV identified large amount of Boullis in right lung with some in left, Sprimority came out as FEV1 79%. Doc said he would check on me once a year and not to worry, had the jags Oct last year, not on any meds and feel ok I think, March this year I will be 2yrs non smoking. Just worried about this large amount stuff.

Interesting reading... thanks for that.

Particularly interested to read the part about Azithromycin, as I've been taking that for a few years now - 3 times a week - and have noticed a very significant loss of hearing recently. It can be embarrasing as I'm always asking people to repeat what they say and have tv/radio/iplayer etc on a lot louder than I used to and sleep through alarms, which annoys my wife!

Never ever thought the antibiotic may have been causing this!!

Thanks again.
