Endobronchial Coils Update
A small, easily implantable device called the Lung Volume Reduction Coil (LVRC) may play a key role in the treatment of two types of emphysema, according to a study conducted in Europe. Results of the study indicate the beneficial effects of the device persist more than a year after initial treatment

Your opinions, am I being paranoid?
Hi again, I recently asked a question as I came off warfarin on the 15th of April after 8 months of treatment following a DVT which embolised. I ended up in hospital a week after coming off the warfarin with awful chest pain, but the scan showed no new clots and the old ones had cleared and they sent

Warfarin v heparin
I had a three month trial of heparin in 2008 and from what I can recall felt good. Then I went onto warfarin but this coincided with the first of four shoulder operations. Since then I have been diagnosed with fibro which adds to the brain fog and don 't know how effective warfarin is. have discussed

Is anyone on Xarelto for APS? Doc switched me from Warfarin to that plus baby aspirin. I have had 1 DVT. INR was not stable.

After several years of being encouraged by several Dr's to use XOLAIR, I am finally ready to try it.
I would love to know if anyone out there has used this med for ABPA, if so, what were the results. I mostly would like to know if there were any side effects from its use. I know there is a slight chance of cancer, which is why I have put it off. I do qualify with the high IGE level (1700). I actually

CAN ANAEMIA CONTRIBUTE TO BREATHLESSNESS IN SIGNIFICANT WAY?
Watching a wildlife programme a few days ago I saw a report that seals/sea lions can stay underwater up to 45 minutes due to the rich haemoglobin levels in their blood. I have always had a tendency towards anaemia, and have severe COPD, so I wondered if taking iron tablets could help the condition?

Shadows on both lungs
Hi I am new to this site and would like to ask the sites advice. In January this year my GP sent me for x ray on my chest as I was having trouble breathing and in pain when I breathed, pain was central and to the side and back of the chest. X ray result showed shadows at the bottom of both lungs.

New drug trial
Novartis International AG ( NVS ) said the 64-week SPARK study results demonstrated that investigational once-daily dual bronchodilator QVA149 was more effective at reducing all chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or COPD exacerbations, compared with glycopyrronium 50 mcg and open-label or OL tiotropium

Yesterday was results day.. a mixed bag
So I went back to Papworth yesterday to get my results of recent tests, have been left with mixed feelings really. CT scan showed no worsening since previous scan - air trapping and atelectasis with the obvious lung reduction from scoliosis but no evidence of bronchiectasis thankfully :) LFT's showed

Aeri-Seal
I pinched this article off Facebook. As a treatment for Emphysema, I think it has a place amongst the others. I wonder if it has relevance for those with Collateral Ventilation, where other treatments are not a good option because of air leakage between the lobes in the lung through damaged tissue.

What is the difference between Fragmin & Innohep?
During my first pregnancy and part of my second I was on Innohep prescribed by an Internest Doctor (my old OB had always called it Fragmin so I thought it was just a brand name) I was taken off of it by a Hematologist who said I need not be treated. I miscarried a week later. I am 10 weeks pregnant

Coming off Warfarin
Hi, it was discovered I had a DVT on New Years Eve and I was immediately put on fragmin injections and warfarin. The intended period for the warfarin was 3 months which would take me to the end of March. I currently visit the INR Nurse weekly and my INR has remained throughout at the low end of

How do you come off Warfarin
It is nearly 6 months since my first bi-lateral pulmonary embolism. I expect to see a consultant for a check up and that I will come off Warfarin. How does this happen, is the Warfarin reduced over time to allow blood time to stabilise, or not?. I think that I am a bit nervous about coming off it, as

This is why it is important to speak up
A cautionary tale about speaking up. Today I had a pulmonary function test. The referral said specifically to test for before and after ventolin. But what nearly happened? After the tech finished the before ventolin tests, she tells me: you can go now.
