More on prednisone
So, someone told me that prednisone does NOT help with
emphysema
. I've been taking 10 mg. for 3 days and can tell no difference. Any thoughts from those who suffer from
emphysema
?

Travel Insurance
And stated I might not have asthma I might have
emphysema
!! And not insurable and that no other insurer would give me travel insurance! I argued the toss then I said I'd like to end the call as not getting anywhere, and he said he'd like to end the call as I was being aggressive!!

Erythrocytosis and you..,
It's a sort of "outgrowth" of having
emphysema
which, as we all know, cuts down on the amount of oxygen you're able to take in; it's all like a little vicious circle. I've also just had my first phlebotomy treatment which is the recommended course of action for treatment.

Prednisone
I have really gone downhill this summer with my
emphysema
/asthma to the point that for the last 4 or 5 days I have had no appetite at all and spend almost all of my time in bed. My pulmonologist just wrote me a prescription for 90 10mg. prednisone. Will this help with
emphysema
? Thanks.

Ventolin and emphysema
So I just read a bunch of posts about this and it seems that most feel that ventolin is basically useless for treating
emphysema
. Doe anyone think otherwise?

I'm new here
A few days ago I was diagnosed with mild
Emphysema
in both upper lobes. I have been a smoker all my life (please don't judge) it seems everyone on this forum says give up smoking immediately.

Don't be duped!
On the 29th November my GP intends to expel me from his surgery, because I discovered by chance this time last year, I had
Emphysema
, and Pulmonary Fibrosis, two of over 16 different lung diseases!

He has severe
emphysema
and his oxygen needs are very high. He will have a pet scan to determent if the cancer is anywhere else. The Doctor is recommending radiation and no chemo if it isn't outside this one spot . Any one gone thru lung cancer in the soft tissue?

Emphysema

Worried
Just found out yesterday that I have
Emphysema
. I bam freaking out about the diagnosis. My doctor told me if I stay away from second hand, never smoke again and take my meds as he has prescribed that I should be able to live a normal life. He said my case is mild.

Withholding of Consultants diagnosis from patients by GP!
When she went off to get one, I sneaked a look at her computer screen, and saw an email from my Consultant addressed to my GP some 6 weeks earlier, 3 days after I had seen her which said I had
Emphysema
and Pulmonary Fibrosis!
