Hi, I flew from Amsterdam to Lisbon (Portugal) and notified the airways in advance I might need help. The service provided was awesome. Had help at the airport with my luggage, with boarding, leaving… read more
I suffer with COPD and have a blood clot on my leg, where I wear a half surgical stocking.
Thanks for your input.
I have COPD. Was hospitalized for 10 days about 3 weeks ago after getting RSV. I was told I’d need oxygen on discharge but after having the walking test I didn’t need it.

Two months ago COPD diagnosted. Fev1 60%, TIFF 51%. Yesterday FEV1 80%, TIFF 59%. Both times FEV was over 110%.
Is it possible COPB get well?
In the beginning, doctors explained to me that the situation could not be better…
First diagnosis was COPD, now he changed to COPD/ASTMA, but he said, he is not sure…

It has a lot to do with the disease itself
When I have to bend for more than a few minutes... for example loading my front loader washing machine or cleaning the lower half of my fridge I sit on a folding camping chair. Any low stool would do… read more
