Hi and welcome to our group. x
Hey,and thank you so much for your welcome, really nice to hear from you. Only just been diagnosed, so was just a massive shock. My own fault for smoking all my. Still, way too late for regrets. Am from windsor, home of u know who.
It was the smoking that done it for me too! I had given up nearly 20 years before I was diagnosed though!
Welcome to the club. You will adjust and learn to live with copd, give yourself time. I was diagnosed with copd (emphysema) 9 years ago when I lost a lung lobe to cancer. I had been a non smoker for 13 years when I was diagnosed.
Like Damon1864 already said, keep active, drink plenty of water, try to keep a positive outlook.
Every day is a good day.
Welcome to the group Wonderboy6!
You will always find help here from us fellow wheezers.
I was diagnosed with COPD some years ago after I asked for an x-ray because of increasing bouts of breathlessness (I was already being treated for asthma). It would appear that it was already on my medical notes from a few years previously, but no-one thought to let me into the secret!
However, I am now with a new GP practice and on a regime of medication and exercise which has helped enormously. Also, having the support of a specialist nurse practitioner has given me much more confidence. If you are offered this, I'm sure it will help you, too.
Try to keep positive, get out as much as you can and take excercise as you are able.
Remeber that we are all here for you.
