I was on it for a while but changed over to the generic when it became available. I also like the Spiriva Respimat.
I would like to have a copy of this article that I can pick up and read and share with others I know that have COPD. Is there a possibility I could get a copy from somewhere?
:)
I have to say heat and humidity bother me more than winter. The suggestion of keeping a scarf around my mouth and nose for breathing in the cold air helps. I live in Colorado, so I face cold winters… read more
Any suggestions on a good book about copd for me and I want to find a book for my wife so she can understand what I'm going through and what to expect
Has you gone to respiratory rehab> I found it VERY helpfull whn I was first diagnosed. I'm pretty sure your wife could go with you.
On oxygen and CPAP Last PFT numbers were bad Wondering why they are taking so long to approve disability I can't work with SOB or stamina so low They just sent mail wanting to know about my headaches Really ? Who cares if my head hurts when I can't breathe? I have worked since the age of 13 and now that I can't anymore this is how I am treated It's a real slap in the face for me
The SSDI process is slower in some states than others. Even slower since Covid. No state is over 50% APPROVAL right off the bat! Your Lawyer's fees are capped to a certain amount so there's no rush… read more
Does anyone while experiencing anxiety get a flare up? The last few weeks at work have been kinda stressful and I’m wondering if that will continue to make me have flare ups.
Absolutely being anxious can affect your breathing. My Dr, gave me a lower dose of Buspirone to try---said we could go higher if needed.
I bought it too! It should be here on the 4th
Hi all
I am new here and really, not actually even fully diagnosed with full blown COPD yet
I went to my doctors, first time in over 10yrs, for a "well man" medical and my doctor "suspects" I may have mild COPD.
I am 53yrs young and have always worked in the building industry, sanding floors, rubbing down walls and ceilings and breathing in all sorts of dust and muck...MDF, asbestos and lots and lots of old style fibre glass (loft lagging), for about 4 yrs I worked with lead and welded… read more
Yes it will make a big difference in your copd and your overall health. Welcome to the site. I added you to my team
Still hoping for the trip to OR but will drive over the Siskiyous where the peak elevation is over 7K ft. Starting in Ashland at almost 2K but staying in Grants Pass at about 1K. The last couple of trips to CO I think the altitude was starting to affect me, but I functioned okay at 5K to 7K. I am NOT giving up on this plan to go see my wonderful friends and their new pup Betty, it's just not an option
Driving about 2 hours from Ashland over the Siskiyous would probably be 2 hours at most.… read more
Lol. Yeah, I think the elevation was 8600 ft. I lived, Its not like you open your car door and the air is sucked out of your body and you feel like fish or of water. Well, i shouldn't speak for for… read more

BMI is just a calculation from a weigh-in that can be used a marker. Your doctor should advise which is more important for YOU in managing COPD along with any other health issues. After working with… read more
