I was diagnosed with BRONCHIECTASIS. Showed up on CT scans since dec 2021. It means that the Alvioli sacs collapsed and turned into useless bags of mucus instead of exchanging gases. In short, some… read more
If so what is the dosage and do you have any side effects from it?
@A MyCOPDTeam Member yep and no no real side affects
Maxx47 is absolutely right. The thing we typically don't have is a fever. If any of your regular COPD symptoms get worse, call your doc ASAP., but especially if you run a temp.
For those of you who missed yesterday’s webinar, it’s available for viewing on the Foundation’s COVID-19 website/ Here’s the link to the page:

Yesterday’s webcast is the one titled “Covid-19 updates for the COPD community” It’s the last one in the list; the others are also well worth watching if you haven’t already seen them.
Nebulizers are not prescribed for u. The medicine is and does not come with the machine.
Got to stay positive. And take care of yourself. Stay safe people and we will see a end to this virus xxxx
I think that infusion saved me from getting worse, glad your son-in-law is well' take care!
I had a Flare Up in September last year had Antibiotics and Steroids which helped. It’s now January and I’m still coughing and producing gunge from my chest.
The Flare Up was my first really bad attack having had COPD for over 12 plus years, so I guess I’ve been lucky.
I go in Prednisone and Zithromax and it is usually fine within a week for me
Sometimes I feel so lousy that my bed is where I want to be. I get a low-grade fever sometimes chills my cough gets worse and I have zero energy. I hear about COPD action plans but have neither my GP nor the Respirologist which I finally got into see in November/22. I also have a Thoracic surgeon that I see annually since she removed my upper left lobe. Last February the surgeon connected me with Alberta Health and helped me get oxygen therapy which I am on 24/7.
Good info to have, thank you Jean, I'm guessing that I am stage 3 yet when I asked my respirologist she said that I would be at "B" whatever that means
I'm always curious where people are posting… read more
The American Lung Association in conjunction with the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute are sponsoring a study called REACH (Recovery after Covid-19 Hospitalization). it will look at 1300 patients hospitalized with severe COVID-19 in 44 hospitals across the country. There's an additional study that's using artificial intelligence to scour 30,000 CT scans to see if any patterns can be seen that might help explain why people got so sick and why they are taking so long to recover.
Thanks for sharing. I am glad that studies like this are underway to help us understand and cope with long term covid impacts.
