Have any of you heard of the Zephyr Value Procedure for COPD and emphysema patients??
It’s a new procedure being done., look it up and you might want to consider it., I got an appointment the 7th of April to see if I’m a candidate., I have to drive 140 miles one way to where they are doing the procedure., but it might be worth it.,
Sandy, I go tomorrow for test and aptm with a Dr that specializes in putting the value in., You have to ask your Dr about it., they don’t tell you., I did!!!!
I am really having problems in getting to the doctors and getting my medicines can someone please tell me where can I go to get help.My husband and I are really on a fix income at this time.
Does your town or State have a senior resource center, If so contact them they may have ride share at no cost.
Good informed for all of us. Thanks.
Great answers everone
DeborahBallard, is there any way you could get a nursing job that doesn’t tax your body so much? I know a RN who worked at a hospital during the height of the Covid crisis, then… read more
Good morning, rough sleeping night
1. Does Spiriva Respimat cause anyone else to have really strange dreams at night, with tossing and turning
2. Having recently had to have some fluid removed from my lung with Lasix, they say because of my congestive heart failure, the pulmonary folks want me to do a walk/breathing test Wednesday. I feel better but I don’t feel like I am up to a walk/breathing test. Should I wait to hopefully feel better? Prior to the infection or whatever I had; thought I… read more
Thank you all for your responses to my questions, it's given me some things to think about and get focused on. I will try to make my appointment this week. Thanks again.

I totally agree my once a day inhaler is very costly.
I was just curious as to whether COPD showed on X-rays.
No most of the time .your flare ups will be because of stuff like pneumonia.colds stuff like that and xrays will show that and it's a way of them ruling out all the bad stuff cancer and stuff .
So did you ever get your stomach checked out @A MyCOPDTeam Member? I hope whatever was wrong is better now. What was wrong, if you don't mind telling me.
How must do people pay around the world for meds?£€$
Last year i paid 35.00 a month for Anoro with my insurance and 10.00 for the rescue inhaler.
I don’t know how someone tells me for years I have emphysema and copd. And now new dr telling me from test he thinks more asthma. So what medicine is used for asthma?? I know if don’t will have emphysema I will cause my jobs and smoking and parents had it.
I think most treatments are the same.
