Confusing results apparently!
test today and at the end of the test asked for a copy of the results.. initially the nurse said I don't see why not and printed two off but then changed her mind and said I'll send two to your consultant and he can give you one as the results are confusing.. she said this result would point towards

Pneumonia
I told the doc that my husband was stage 4
Emphysema
and he said that just to be safe he wanted to do a bunch of tests as well as a chest X-ray. Lab came back and it wasn't a urinary tract infection. Chest X-ray came back and it was Pneumonia! WHAT??

Severe emphysema - my 6 monthly visit to Specialist
I'm pleased ... well, sort of! Had my appointment with the specialist this week and I was a bit scared about what they might see from my latest x-rays as it's been a year since the last one and I've been feeling more breathless recently. He was a replacement consultant as my previous lady had left.

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.
