Hope
I have been chasing researchers hoping that we would have a breakthrough for
emphysema
a treatment that would halt this disease. I feel I need to apologise for being so naive as I truly believed a breakthrough would be with us soon. Having had a discussion yesterday I realise maybe I was wrong.

Pain and shortness of breath gut pressure
Hi everyone I suffer from copious mucus but no one really seems to know where it comes from as I have a few problems I have jackhammer esophogus, bronchiectasis,
emphysema
, all of a sudden I can barely breathe when I move it’s as if someone is stood on my gut the soft bit under the arch of my sternum

Emphysema - recent diagnosis only 30yrs old.
I was recently told by my doctor after xrays and a ct scan that I have
emphysema
. Naturally I was in shock mainly since I'm only 30 but now it's scaring the hell out of me.

Oh, what a mystery is our affliction
Was DX about 3 years ago with
emphysema
/asthma. It has not been fun, as I'm sure all of you can agree. But things have gotten much worse for me since Christmas, to the point where I can no longer sleep at all because of SOB. Went to pulmo yesterday. I was sure I would leave on 02.

Happy Birthday to Caspiana and hypercat
Yesterday I went to the funeral of one of our neighbours who died of
emphysema
, lovely, brave, much loved woman, (standing room only in the chapel) and I was delighted that the collection was for BLF. I had nagged her about joining the forum. Beautiful humanist service.

Alpha one antitrypsin deficiency
Most alphas have basal
emphysema
which effects the lower lobe of the lung first. The gas exchange, dlco, is commonly not effected as quickly as in other
emphysema
types. The gravitational pulmonary blood flow is why most alphas have basal damage.

Unwell
Hi folks - I’m Sarah ... severe
emphysema
... I handle things by keeping fit, nutrition etc. Anyhow, have been out of sorts for 3 weeks now. Very fatigued, sweaty, with cold symptoms. This has now turned into very sore ribs and shoulder on the left hand side.

My dad has
emphysema
, COPD and is on oxygen. He has been worse this last week and is feeling very low and is back on steroids and antibiotics. My mum is also low, depressed even. I think she does everything and as much as my sister and I try to help, she is a proud woman and will not ask.

Happy Birthday 🎂
He's been a good caregiver for me since I've been diagnosed with
emphysema
in 2002. In fact, he's the first to suggest lots of exercise. Our parental/offspring relationship has been a rollercoaster ride, but worth it in the long run.

Low DLCO. What does this mean for me?
I have Asthma and
Emphysema
and have regular PFTs. My FEV 1 has declined over the years to 47% but after a bout of Pneumonia last year it has now increased to 79%. How, I do not know.

Home Oxygen/Oxygen Levels
Well, it's too late as I now have
emphysema
and none of us can turn back the clock. It's been ascertained through tests that I need oxygen at home, however, to have this I need to have stopped smoking for 12 weeks. I'm finding it extremely difficult as i'm certain many of you have too.
