Hi there terrysway and I'm glad you've found us. This site can make such a huge difference,as it has done for me and many others. Its a safe place to chat when we feel down,when we want advice or just to have a general chat. The BLF also have a fantastic helpline,with nurses and other qualified staff who you can call and its all confidential etc.

I'm certain you'll fit in just fine and I look forward to getting to know you.

Take care.

You will be far from alone here, many members suffer from COPD in all it's different stages. I have looked at various forums on the web and this one is the most active, English speaking, forum I have been able to find. I can also vouch for Sonsafc's comment "is as good or better than your own family" so welcome.

Hi there, it seems you have your hands full with all your conditions.

If you use Facebook you may be aware that there is a fabulous COPD UK Facebook page which is incredibly supportive with thousands of members.

Best wishes,

PollyP
