This morning had C.O.P.D check. Three different breathing checks all results improved on last year.Practice Nurse told me that this is very unusual as results normally deteriorate with age.

I’ve suggested that you should be able to get a dog on prescription ( joking or not?)

Just thought I’d post something positive for a change, just wish the rest of me

would improve .

Regards Mike

What caused the COPD? Anything to do with RA? Are you a smoker or do you have allergies?

Thanks. RA can affect the lungs but obviously not in your case.

COPD is usually caused by asthma, the environment and smoking. I have a lung problem with was caused by an infection I could not get rid of which has much the same result as COPD (ie bronchiectasis).

Thanks for replying.

Very pleased to hear it Matalow! Beautiful photo...a Turner sky!
