Newbie feeling low
A few weeks ago, after a chest X-ray, doctor said I had COPD/Emphysema. Apparently, 3 years earlier, a lung function test at the surgery had shown I was borderline COPD. The nurse had reassured me that I didn't have it. Surely they should have told me? 3 years of exercise could have made a difference

Biological mess process
Hi I'm just about to start my journey on to biological medication, I have had my blood test and chest X-ray. But have received a letter to go to and see the thoracic med nurse is this part of the process or is it because they have found something. As I wasn't told this would happen Thanks

Possible lung cancer diagnosis- looking for advice
Hi. I am looking for advice - my mum had an abnormal chest X-ray around 3 weeks ago which showed a single "mass" in her upper right lung. She had a fast track ct scan with contrast 2 days later and waited 12 days to get the results. We went to the chest clinic on Monday and the consultant said he thinks

Starting methotrexate
So I had my 6 month check up with the rheumy today. She's totally lost knowing what to do with me - I've had to come off plaquenil again as it's just making me so sick and such bad stomach acid I just can't cope with it. All of the other treatments we've tried I seem to react to - which we now know is

Worried about my mum 😔
My mum had a chest x ray 2 weeks ago after having 2 colds / chest infections in 2 months. Her Gp called her the next working day and told her she has a 3cm "mass" in her upper right lobe which could be a granuloma but he was concerned so referred her on a fast track for ct scan. She had the ct with contrast

Mild COPD
Thank you to everyone for taking the time to read my post & for the information you gave in your replies. I had an appointment today at the Respiratory Medicine Clinic. My lung function results were about the same as they were in April, so I suppose that's good news?? They had forgotten to order a chest

Is it really COPD?
I had one lung function test where my FEV1 was 46 and then another test where my FEV1 was 75? Isn't an FEV1 of 75 still considered to be mild COPD? I don't know if I took the first test right, but how can these values be so off? I also have a severely reduced FVC and a very low DLCO. I Had signs of hyperinflation

COPD query
Hi all need some advice, earlier this year my GP wondered if I had COPD at all as my spirometry test was reading better than the year before, so I asked the appropriate question which of course was well if it isn't that what was it, my better half at this point added that on an x-ray that I had done

Digonosis of fibromyalgia today
I received a phone call on Thursday to attend clinic today, been waiting since August. The consultant asked about my symptoms and then did a quick examination of all my sore spots, she was asking about my dry eyes and ibs. That was it very quick, gave me a helpful leaflet and a lot of the fibromyalgia

Rituximab
Have see a locum consultant on Sunday. He told me stop taking Lefludomid straight away as my blood pressure is very high. He examined me, read my history and says I am a candidate for biological treatment. He then arranged for me to have a steroid injection. I then returned to the hospital Tuesday
