Lung volume reduction
16 days post left lung reduction surgery. I'm told it may be some time before I feel the benefit, but trying to get myself fit. Just hoping someone here can help. I'm doing a 30 - 40 min dog walk Daily, and apart from pottering around the house, that's about it for now. Just so tired. Is this normal?

Had Lung Volume Reduction surgery 3 days ago.
Feeling pretty poorly although I'm sure that will soon pass. My sats are quite low (about 84) although they were 96 before. Hoping this doesn't lead to me needing O2 at home. Anybody have any experience this.? Thanks.

Share your quitting success stories: What helped you quit smoking?
I am noticing a few posts lately about people who are trying to quit smoking. Being a former smoker myself I understand how hard it can be to quit. Truthfully, creating a lasting change in life is tough enough (for me at least) without the added burden of nicotine addiction making it even harder. That

Fostair - So far so good!
Well Peeps, day 3 of the previously dreaded Fostair on the advice of my GP practice Pharmacist/Respiratory Nurse, & no side effects whatsoever. What I was dreading was similar to the previous 'maintenance' inhalers, Tiotropium & Aclidinium, both of which delivered a paradoxic reaction & had to be stopped

Pulmonary embolism
I got diagnosed with a pulmonary embolism two weeks ago after my asthma had been bad, they initially thought it was a chest infection! Now on apixaban blood thinner, had a stomach bleed on Christmas Day, but ok now. How long does it take for a PE to resolve?

LVRS
I'm about to have lung volume reduction surgery later this month and would like any information/ peoples' experiences. Bit scared, but weirdly excited about it too.

Probable phlebitis
Hi everyone,I went to Minor Injuries today because last night I suddenly had a pain and redness on the outside of my ankle. The practitioner I saw said it looked like phlebitis, which is no problem for "normal" people but he wasn't sure about people with MPNs. He was great and I can go back any time,

Accelerated speed of discovery could lead to more effective smoking cessation aids.
Smoking claims the lives of more than seven million people each year. Smoking tobacco delivers nicotine to the neuroreceptors responsible for addiction, affecting the nervous system and causing addiction.A new study, led by scientists from the University of Bristol, into the molecular interactions involved

‘Vaping’ Increases Odds of Asthma and COPD.

Side effects of Apixaban?
I used to take rivaroxaban 2mgs per day, but after a big op for hallus vegus and straightening claw toes I had a bleed behind my kneecap. Came off all anticoags until my knee/leg subsided; that took 3 months before it felt & looked normal again. Now I am just taking 5mgs of Apixaban daily. I notice that

ResearchResearch points to possible target to treat idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, or IPF/
Long-held dogma says lung fibrosis in diseases like idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, or IPF, results from recurrent injury to alveolar epithelium that is followed by dysregulated repair. Research at the University of Alabama at Birmingham uproots that paradigm, and it suggests a possible treatment target
