What education topics are you interested in?
As diagnosed with COPD, later to be confirmed as emphysema - what medications would be considered appropriate for treatment?
Understanding the progression and outcomes of COPD over time.
Hello R2B_ Michele_RRT From my understanding. C.O.P.D is just a title for a group of lung conditions. So to me until they find out my particular illness and start treating it. I will just gets worse i guess. So at present. I am a bit mystified. Thank You
My reason for clicking on Travel , 2weeks in Spain £1,800
2weeks in Llandudno £800. INSURANCE. Now you know why we are Isolated , sorry I am isolated. Four walls is now my future.
Hi Janet1944,
I understand perfectly! Last year we went on a river cruise in France from Southampton, it cost me £1700. That was the best price searching the Internet and also using the services of an insurance broker. I could only get six quotes, the rest refused to insure me. I had been in hospital once in the previous 12 months.
So yes, I am no longer interested in travelling because of the costs.
Good luck for the future, Janet.

So you have to pay extra for insurance to travel abroad due to COPD?
Yes Donna, because I have COPD and mild bronchiectasis and had a hospital stay because of an infection. You must disclose otherwise you will not be covered if you fall ill. I felt totally ripped off.
Thank you Joan glad it’s not only me , Post Office advertise using older actors , dangerous sports abroad absailing into the Grand Canyon for one ,what with your problems ,Rubbish ,Refused.
I had one Hospital stay two years ago, for three days intravenous ABX .
How did they work out Llandudno £800 still working that one out.
Best wishes Joan stay well. Janet.
I'm interested in most of the topics given. But apparently could only choose one.
I would like to have chosen all the options.
Since I never smoked very much - would like to know what other things can trigger COPD - also if my COPD will get worse when I am no longer exposed to whatever caused it in the first place.
