Clear information when the shock has stopped us taking on-board what our doctors have tried without success too pass into understanding. A really good link thanks for sharing I am sure many of the members will find it very useful.

Glad it helps. I found it was very helpful in explaining the spirometry readings, not always explained to us.

Good breathing all.
