frequently goes undiagnosed until it is found incidentally when a patient receives treatment for a collapsed lung. X-rays, computerized tomography scans, and lung biopsies help doctors confirm the presence of

Using Oxygen in a caravan
I was just about to book a static caravan for a holiday with my husband who has COPD/
Emphysema
when it suddenly occurred to me that you may not be able to have an oxygen concentrator in a caravan where there is a gas fire, gas stove & water heater.

WHY Are DOCTOR's Full Of It When It Comes To Plaura Rub And ASBESTOS
In picture you can see chronic inflamation and black patches thats
emphysema
. As you can see in ALL my pictures the
emphysema
IS not one causing chronic inflamtion. You can see the chronic inflation is round asbestos fibers and its them causing my issues.

Hopeless sometimes
Hi there I lost my mom who was 68 in February this year from copd and
emphysema
and the hospital I feel made her suffer. I also have a handicap son who is 24 and has Duchenne muscular dystrophy. I give up everything I can think of so he can do what he likes and so he has no worries.

Advice greatly appreciated.
I use oxygen, I see my oxygen nurse every six months, that is the only input into my
Emphysema
. I send for a repeat prescription monthly. I was diagnosed type2 diabetes 18 months ago, was given Metformin and that was it. I no longer socialise, it's an impossibility to venture out.

Mucus from one lung after 6 months smoke free
My pulmonologist says that all he can see from my CT scans is a very mild case of
emphysema
. He's a bit baffled about the DLCO score based on my CT scans and as of yet has no answer for the heavy mucus production.
