End-Stage doesn’t mean it’s the end.
But I read about one
emphysema
patient still going strong after 17 years at stage IV. He lives alone, hoovers the carpet, does the shopping, and prepares meals.

Klebsiella Oxytoca
My husband, who has bronchiectasis with some asthma and
emphysema
, is struggling with an infection at the moment and has just cultured Klebsiella Oxytoca. Has anyone else had this and how did you deal with it?

Possible Asthma/COPD no diagnosis
I have a consultant who did a CT Scan which revealed infection/inflammation lower right lobe with ground glass and noduralties… consultant wasn't too concerned he said the rest of the lungs were clear with no fibrosis ..he didn't mention
emphysema
either!

Emphysema and COPD
I just don't understand how I can apparently have 'severe
emphysema
' when my spirometer results aren't even in the range of stage 1? If I had severe
emphysema
I should be out of breath walking to the letterbox but just today I walked over 6km in under an hour - no puffer - no nothing.

No wonder I don't do the Lotto-never had any luck.
Ive always been fit, active, healthy however 10yrs ago diagnosed with bullous
emphysema
, no great symptoms, no meds required-still at stage 1, feel great. 18months ago had 2 nodules in my lung identified a cancer however turned out to contain fibrosis, pneumonia & aspergilliousus.

Hospital Appointment changed to telephone call!!
I have COPD (
emphysema
) but as I've had 5 chest infections in less than a year, I've had CT scan to see if I have bronchiectasis, and sent sputum sample off.. Anyway consultant wrote to me that I had pseudomonas and he asked GP to prescribe 2 weeks of ciproflixacin.

Would you believe it!
He said this could be something to do with the
emphysema
. I was gutted as 3 months ago the lung consultant said everything was fine. On the bright side coronavirus will not scare me .....will get further info on tuesday and a plan of action.

What I didn't know
I believe that's a good number with someone who has been diagnosed with
emphysema
. But my diffusion number was not so good: 66 percent, and down quite a bit from 2016. I have been saying that my breathing has been getting worse, and that could be the reason, I'm guessing.

I Have No Interest In This Product Other Than It Makes Sense To Me.
I think by using it during daytime (as well as night time) activities would be beneficial to
emphysema
sufferers such as myself. I read one testimonial of a person who did just that.
