COLD AIR
I was diagnosing with
emphysema
in June. I’m finding the cold air agitating my lungs and the effects can last all day. Has anyone else had a similar experience. Thanks in advance

I've quit inhalers -- anyone else?
Was diagnosed with
emphysema
about 4 years ago. I think I'm Stage 2. I'm 68, quit smoking 25 years ago, but thinking back I showed signs of breathing issues in my mid-30s. Here's the thing: I was immediately given 3 inhalers upon diagnosis and used them religiously until about 3 months ago.

COPD & vitamin D
I have severe (COPD)
Emphysema
& Sjogrens . My GP prescribed Evacal 400iu chewable Vitamin D twice a day a few months ago and has made a great improvement to how I feel. It is combined with vit C but I think because of lockdown and not getting enough time outside I was Vit D deficient .

Even though I have
emphysema
, I keep going back. I run out of breathe when talking fast and it really isolates me. I hope there’s still something to gain by quitting. I put on weight when I quit but I don’t lose any by smoking. My last quit lasted 7 months. Anyone else out there a serial quitter?

Broken rib from coughing.
I was diagnosed with COPD –
Emphysema
about 3 years ago. They took X-rays after I finally went to the doctors with a “smokers” cough which I had already for quite some years. I smoked for 40 years, but gave it up a few months after I was diagnosed. Apparently I have severe

Best sort of humidifier for dry indoor heating through freezing Canadian winter ahead
I have mildish
emphysema
and am worried about the effect of low air humidity from indoor heating on my breathing. Do I need a humidifier? And if so, which sort - warm air, cool air or an ultrasonic? Thanks!

New diagnosis Mild cylindrical bronchiectasis and mild emphysema
Just had the shock of my life - letter from Consultant following CT Scan diagnosed Mild
emphysema
and Mild cylindrical bronchiectasis. I've been coughing for some time and just thought it was a chest infection. I've been on Antibiotics for 3 weeks now. I did smoke but gave up 35 years ago.

Ipf/emphysema
Hi everyone I will apologise in advance for this moan! My health has definitely become worse this year & I catch myself thinking next year I’ll do whatever then thinking but I might not be here then! This illness is limiting because I don’t know how quickly I’m deteriorating or how much time I have left

Lung volume reduction
I have stage 3
emphysema
and met the criteria for a lung volume reduction operation back in November 2019. I haven't heard anything since because of covid. I feel like I have been forgotten about and seem to be getting worse.
