At My Wits End
I was diagnosed with Pulmonary Fibrosis and mild
emphysema
just over ayear ago. It was manageable for the first 10 months and the appointment at the hospital even showed that my lungs had slightly improved, I was over the moon as I also felt much better.

Terminal illness
After three years of chronic depression, severe anxiety and total anhedonia my
emphysema
symptoms are getting worse by the day. I do not seek a lot of medical intervention because it's better to die quickly than to prolong life with this sort of disease.

Desolate day
Thought I was coping with this recent diagnosis of
emphysema
but today my heart was in my boots. I had an xray a while ago and while there were signs that I had been a smoker, it was felt that I didn't require any treatment nor any follow up tests.

Steroid withdrawal..?
I have
emphysema
as confirmed by an x Ray 2 winters ago and because I have kept on to the Dictors at the health centre I should be getting, hopefully soon an appointment with a chest specialist to see if my bronchi tubes are damaged as well.

Interested in overseas imput
I've been diagnosed with stage 2
emphysema
& have been put on a bronchiolator-Stiolto Respimat.It seems to improve my breathing-not huffing &puffing as much. I'm interested in hearing from you Brits (my parents were from the UK) as there's a good chance that you may be more advanced in treatment.

Out of the frying pan...........
Due to my stage 3/4 COPD (
Emphysema
) and 4 chest infections since August I had not been outside the house up to Xmas Eve. My exacerbation in August was in Benidorm and resulted in a five day stay in hospital.

Why do I now have emphysema 10+ years after I gave up smoking?
Hi everyone, I have just turned 43 and was diagnosed yesterday with
emphysema
, I am awaiting further scans to determine what stage. As a child growing up in South Africa I was prone to bronchitis, I used to get bronchitis at least twice a year, every year.

Being mobile with a concentrator
My husband has been diagnosed with
emphysema
even though he has never smoked. We have a concentrator at home which he has to use for 16 hours a day but have no knowledge of how to get a mobile concentrator so that we can visit family and friends.

I'm new here but pneumonia finished me!
I have
emphysema
and bronchiectasis. Between January and April 2016 we had an extension on our bungalow and the constant dust resulted in my contracting pneumonia. I also had pneumonia 2 years ago but since this last attack my breathing has deteriorated dramatically.

Can't Breathe
Dr said
emphysema
and COPD and fibrosis is why I can't catch my breath. It came on all of a sudden. Is there anything I can do to make me breath any better?

On Emphysema, Vitamins and...
I'm writing today to give just a small amount of input on a couple of vitamins/supplements that I've had direct experience with and which I know have had a positive effect on my
emphysema
; CoQ10 and Fish Oil are two that I can attest to having made an appreciable difference in my condition.
