Hello all,

I have been following the blogs for several weeks now with great interest and thought it about time i introduced myself or to be truthful l now feel able to introduce myself. My name is Marilyn although if you wish you may call me nannie ...many do. I am 63 tomorrow and come from Norfolk. I was diagnosed with emphysema & asthma in November 2010. At the time l was just getting over a heart attack which i'd had in October 2010. I had been quite a fit individual until July / August 2010 when l began experiencing sob when on holiday up in the mountains of France. I retired from the job l loved last May and still miss the role, the patients and the colleagues. Enough about me for one day. Having read your post, l noted what a wonderful support network you have develop. I hope in the main most of you are well and enjoying your day. Chapter 2 another day!! Take care xx

Hi Nannie,

I am quite new too. I have found this site so useful it really is helping me come to terms with my newly diagnosed COPD diagnosis. Like you, I was abroad when I first experienced the SoB thing.

My daughter and I were the "babies" of a party, of about 20 elderly people , visiting a beautiful Medieval castle on a hill ( felt like the Swiss Alps!!). As the second youngest I was giving and receiving a great deal of teasing about getting to the top of the steep incline and to prove a point I raced on ahead - well, I actually took about ten steps and something happened - I could n't breathe!! The rest of the party over took me - shaking their walking sticks ( hobbling and supporting each other -it was treacherous) and shouting at me for being the youngest and most unfit. I really thought I was going to die! Everyone believed I was just playing around but I really couldn't breathe. I eventually managed to get to the top, where the rest of the party had to wait for me!! I had a similar experience in June on the Dover - Calais ferry walking from the bottom of the ship up the long and winding ramp to the top!! My son started shouting about an ambulance! No More castles on mountainous hill tops and def no more ferries!! Since then it literally has been 'down-hill ' all the way !!! Thank God for a sense of humour!

Have a great birthday. It s probably very exciting for you at the moment with your granddaughter and all the prep. Enjoy every single minute!!

Take care - have fun xx
