Went to my annual COPD check today for usual blowing and puffing etc. Nurse said my reading were quite a bit better than last time! Oxygen level 92 pc (which nurse said was bit low but I was pleased with).

I am not really in the COPD range at the moment and just have asthma - WOW.

She was changed my diagnosis from 'mild COPD' to 'very very mild COPD',

She reckoned that most of my problem was badly controlled asthma. Now I am on Symbicort and Spiriva as well its obviously having an effect.

She also said eating more healthly and dog walking was paying rewards!

Its great to see the results of that.

I might be here under false pretences now...

Very good news, and in time for Christmas, so have a happy and improved health Christmas and New Year.

I have just had the letter from the hospital,I did not expect it so soon as I only went on monday, and it shows FEV1 at 0.8 and VC at 1.8. I know you all understand this but I do not. Seeing my own Doctor on tuesday but can someone put me out of my misery and tell me if thats good, bad or reasonable? He has prescribed Carbocisteine 375mg twice a day and then move up to 750mg, has anyone else an opinion on this drug? I have researched it and it may have contraindications for my skin so would appreciate any experience you may have. Just gathering so when I do see the Doctor will have a bit more understanding.

Sorry, just noticed this. I cannot translate your readings as I only work with FEV1 percentages. Doc should tell all though. As to Carbocisteine I take two tablets, three times a day when I am coughing and maintain on 1 tablet, three times a day otherwise. I have not experienced any ill effects but it can cause a skin rash in some people.

Thanks for all your replies everyone. I am so pleased with the results. A friend of mine was not supportive so I told her that fortunately I go on a great support forum and they give me all the support I need! That shut her up...
