I'm wondering if this is "normal" and what the implications are for this type of
emphysema
and any other bits of advice you can offer. Thanks in advance. Wishing you all well. Regards, Gav.

Whilst I accept there is generally not a lot that can be done with
Emphysema
it would be nice to hear that some research is being carried out to try and stop our white cells from eating more of our lungs.

Here he comes again
Health wise I guess I would have to say that my
Emphysema
and bronchi ecstasies are not getting any better, I get more and more breathless as time goes by, I now have to use a walking frame / buggy type thing which has four wheels and a little seat on it , the walking stick just leaves me completely

Doc. Says..........
So saw my doc yesterday and we were discussing my COPD (
emphysema
) and he says that as long as I never smoke again (been stopped over 3yrs) my COPD wont get any worse. I thought that there were other factors such as dust and pollution that were also contributors. Thoughts please xx

Hi, I am 49 years old, with moderate

and am a CO2 retainer! I would be interested to hear how other people cope with being a "co2 retainer", and how often do you have ABG's etc. Any information/advice would be appreciated thanks!
