Experiences with

Asbestosis

My consultant has informed me I’m at the ‘end stage of asbestosis’ but wouldn’t or couldn’t provide me with a rough estimate as to how long I have left on this planet, any info would be welcome Mike

He recently had a diagnosis of asbestosis and emphysema. He is a type 2 diabetic and this seems to be causing him problems and is out of control. He recently had an ultrasound scan of his liver which seems to be causing some issues.

I have the following Asbestosis, Pulmatory Fibrosis, Emphysema, Chronic Bronchitis. I have a terrible cough and excess mucus day and night can hardly sleep. I've tried to get several doctors to give me prednisone, but they refuse. Medical care in Spain is lacking.

He mentions SCARRING do to Chest Conditions, also I have in my life been exposed to Cold Dust and Asbestosis.

I have been diagnosed with Asbestosis and COPD (in a bit of a mess). DHSS are telling me I am 10% disabled. I know I am worse than that given what I can no longer do. My last SPIROMETRY results were FEV1?FVC 42.23% = Sever.

As an engineer who has had to use respiratory protection against mainly asbestosis I and many other filtration specialists have been absolutely appalled regarding the dithering and false info regarding masking up.

I also have asbestosis and osteo and arthritis of most kinds and am really saddened that I may have to go back to 20mgs but I really have to get back some quality of life. I am 78

asbestosis during his working career, we would like to launch our appeal, to try an trace former colleagues of Mr wright, in the hope, they can provide further information about the work our father undertook.

Hi, Anyone on line suffering from Asbestosis - Pleural thickening? Mine surfaced in 2000, though the only time I have used asbestos was for a short time in 1969. What medication do you have, and has it changed recently?

He has had a number of tests and seen different Consultants and although Copd has been mentioned there has also been talk of asbestosis but results so far are not clear therefore he has been put forward for a lung biopsy (vats I think). He saw the surgery consultant yrday and timeframe is 3/4 wks.

My father was told he had lung cancer copd and asbestosis. After he died we had him autopsied and it was TB. He wasnt given the correct treatment. As our entire family cared for him, does it mean we could have it?

I have asbestosis ,the weather in Clevedon UK today is damp vercast the HUMIDITY is 98% and as usual at this degree my pains are significant with COPD as well my only relief is to lay on my bed in the recovery position .....Any fellow sufferers ?

I was exposed heavily to asbestos in the military and believe I have asbestosis but docs refuse to diagnos. Will not do biopsy. Have several enlaged lymph nodes, pleural thickening and calcified granulomas in my lungs but still no diagnosis. Don't overlook pulmonary disease when asking about SOB!

Even though Tayside Bronchiectasis Support Group is by definition a narrow-focus set up we have invited a speaker from a local asbestos action group to speak to us about asbestosis.

My Dad is a walking miracle if truth be told as he has a plethora of chronic conditions alongside the heart disease/failure and angina which include COPD, Asbestosis, pleural thickening (which have left him with severely impaired lung function), Asthma, rheumatoid and Osteoarthritis, type 2 diabetes
