Hi Rose, Yes, it’s such a shame there’s no forum for COPD…. I’ve finally given up asking for/suggesting one, and I know some of my friends and our local support group have drifted away from this...
I have used a TENS unit for several years to ease my chronic lower back pain. I don't like drugs, preferring a more alternative approach where possible. Just throwing in my ten cents here… I have the...
Hi all, I've been on the forums for a while now but been posting in allergies as there didn't seem to be a forum for COPD .. Chartreux was kind enough to point me in the direction of you guys so I...
Hi Chartreux, K? That's very kind of you to point that out. I'll certainly go and see what's happening there. Not been very active on here of late. Been in and out of various medical establishments...
Hi Chartreux, You do seem to have an interesting range of ailments! Some diagnosed; some not. Oh yes; I empathise with the broken ribs. I busted two through coughing back in the summer. Not a lot of...
Hi Chartreux, Thanks for the welcome back. I had a bit of a wobbly day yesterday but the meds are starting to kick in. I'm on Spiriva and Ventolin via a gadget and it helps. I wonder.. Are you a COPD...

Sherry; you are an inspiration to us all. Good for you. And remember: while we still have a pulse, Let's rock n roll!...
Good thinking guys and gals... Be kind to yourselves.. Catch up later Anthony....
Hi Red. You and your father-in-law have my sympathy. It must be hard to observe such a decline. I have a teenage daughter who stays with me some weekends. I try real hard to allay her worries. She's...
Really appreciate the support. Which is more than I get from the NHS, but don't get me started lol. I do indeed try to walk when I feel up to it. I live by the ocean in Cornwall and as a sufferer I...
Thanks folks, Now entering my second year with this. Evidently down to my past working environments and of course, smoking hasn't helped. I know this will not end well but I'm staying positive. Can't...
My name's Anthony; I'm new here. Couldn't find a forum for my issues; (COPD) This is the closest I guess! Anyway; I shall have a nose around and see what's happening. :nono:...
