Yes I agree.

That's a good question that I would love to hear the answer to also. My 1st one was a year ago in April. My next one is scheduled for next April. Mine showed mild copd & since then I've been exercising, drinking a lot of water & making better eating choices. I'm hopeful for improved result or at least no decline. When are you having your repeat done? Pls let us know. I'll be praying for a good report for you. Terri

My Fev1 was 56% around 3 years ago and went down at one point to mid 40s. It’s now over 70% mostly. I put it down to being on the right inhalers for me and not sitting around too much. I also went back to work 2 days a week to keep me active and more positive. I have emphysema and bronchiectasis. I’m 61. I take a few basic supplements, don’t know if they help too. Good luck.

Thx for sharing that. It's encouraging to think that improvements can really happen. We just need to go forward, doing what we think will make us healthier. Best to you. Terri

hi christina1947 if you look back at my past posts you will see that i was diagnosed over 5 years ago with moderate copd and after looking after myself better and doing the right things i did get back to the mild stage.

II had a hip replacement 2 years ago so could not be has active

Dont know what stage i am now but i would think moderate stage 2 again

best wishes
