I will try again just finished my p r course and research for local uni.using a lung machine nearly gave up half way because I developed a cough and sputem and felt a lot worse than when I started.Had a test at uni and I had gone from fev1 66% to 83% so had cleared the sputem I didn't know was there. Not sure if it was the machine or p r course that gave the result as some people on the research did not have the lung machine.but I will carry on using it and keep fingers crossed.

Is this the breath easy machine? The one where you have to inhale as fast and hard as you can for around 30 repeats, twice a day? If not, can you let me know which machine it was please? So happy that it worked for you!

Hi Nanny49 no its not the breath easy machine as I already had that and after a few goes stopped using it this was given to me by the university its called power lung and its from the U S A its got an inhalation dial setting 1 to 6 and an exhale control dial 1 to 3 which you can set independently. I think the web site is powerlung.com/contact/ just copied that from the leaflet hope it helps

Hi pompeylady - many thanks for that info. Have googled it and have just one further question. Which colour have you been using? I think the orange one looks about right but as they're not exactly cheap I don't want to make an expensive mistake when ordering. Thanks again.

Hi I didn't know there were different colours mine is bright lemon yellow.which the university gave me so I don't know if every one had the same colour in the trial.

[pompeylady in reply to Nanny49]

I expect they gave me the yellow one as I had to use it at the same time as my PR course and I noticed the yellow one on web site says for people who do light exercise so I would think it would depend on your own fitness I do quite a bit of walking and look after my 5year old grandson who keeps me on the go

Thanks - will have another look now and try to figure out which one would best suit!

Wow going from 66% to 83% seems amazing. What is the machine you are using or talking about as I would sure like to give it a try.

Thanks
