It's not always bad news!
I had a chest X-ray in January this year and was told I had ring shadows that could represent bronchiectasis and also there were changes in my
emphysema
, waited four months for a ct scan, then another two weeks for the results, luckily my ring shadows was nothing and they had disappeared 😀 I'm so pleased

Happy days.
Not only having too live with
emphysema
and copd, which now having sorted my medication out is ok, I have been living with arthritis in my left hip which has gradually got worse over the past years, I went to see the consultant about my hip on Friday last and he said I now need a hip replacement.

N-Acetylcysteine or Carbocisteine
I've been taking N-Acetylcysteine since March for my 'interim' diagnosed
Emphysema
, with excellent results on combatting mucous & post-nasal drip, but then I read her about Carbocisteine being on prescription.

PIP Application Nightmare
They are diagnosed with Lupus, Arthritis, Fibromyalgia and
Emphysema
to name a few. In December 17, their application to move from Lifetime DLA to PIP was rejected, as was the subsequent appeal. They have had no income since December and their Motability Car was revoked in February.

HELP!
I have
emphysema
, and I have been paying off monthly for a much needed holiday for myself and my husband. This will be our last holiday abroad as I had to take early retirement on medical grounds and the work pension is almost a thousand pound a month less than what my wages had been!

How can I be more positive?
I gained weight, have lung cancer,
emphysema
, a bad foot which makes it hard to walk and kyphosis spondalytis (severe arthiritis of spine).I am struggling financially, cannot afford to do much. I have no car so feel like a prisoner in my home. I have always prided myself on being positive.

Hi everyone, I have just received the results from my yearly low-dose screening CAT scan which reveals stable underlying
emphysema
. I have smoked for 45+ years...started young and I am 61 now. I quit smoking as soon as I read the results and I am beyond scared and confused!
