Hope all goes well Jillygirl. I may have already missed you, but if you haven't been yet, why not ask if they have a smokerlyser and can test you carbon monoxide levels for you? This will be a big motivator to show how well you are doing with regards to stopiing smoking. as you will have a reading of a non-smoker :-)

hi emjay. been to the docs and all went really well. i had a breathing test, it was called a spyrograph or something like that.(i thought that was a kids drawing toy ) the nurse said the results were very good. but i will know on the 11th when i go see the actual doctor. i will ask him if the test i had tests for carbon monoxide.

cheers. jillygirl

Hey Jillygirl, really glad the results were good (I call it spyrograph too) :)

I'm not 100% but I think it might be a spirometry test that you ladies are talking about? :-)

Glad to hear that your results were very good.

The carbon monoxide test is something different and won't be something that you will have been tested for.

In fact, what I shall do is pop up a blog about it and how you go about having a test... it's really easy and takes less than a minute. This can be done at most surgeries, your local stop smoking service can do it and sometimes your local pharmacy may offer this.

I shall go and blog about it now :-)
