COPD and PMR
They also did a CT scan of my lungs and told me that I have a very fine trace of
emphysema
and I don't need to go to the pulmonary clinic. Now I have just been told that I have medicine induced diabetes. I'll call it for now

Worried Sick about my Husband
I believe I told you that John was diagnosed 14 months ago with COPD, mild
emphysema
and also has a very large hiatus hernia. Up until last October it was very manageable, then, because he felt so good and his consultant said his lungs had improved, he started doing some manual work in the house.

COPD Medication manufactured in UK!
medication for copd&
emphysema
is manufactured in the UK! Stioltorespimat is long acting bronchiolator(2 puffs once a day) WITHOUT steroids! It' s frightfully expensive here in the USA & not covered by Medicare or most insurance plans. It's a mist not a powder thus it's gentle on the throat.

Stem cell research
I was diagnosed 2012 with
Emphysema
, I'm 67 now. My question has anyone heard of stem cell therapy? I contacted the ," Lung Institute " and had consultation. They use your own stem cell from either none or blood depending on your specific situation.

I have shared my diagnosis of moderate
emphysema
with my husband & children. I am relieved that is behind me. Everyone is on board for my healthy eating & exercise changes. The welcome I have received here has given me hope and courage.

In adult smokers with post-bronchodilator airway obstruction, a low DLCO greatly increases the probability of the
emphysema
phenotype of COPD due to cigarette smoking, while a normal DLCO makes chronic asthma more likely.
