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
Because of a gluten intolerance, I used to drink cider - 3 maybe 4 pints at a time but, eventually I realised that they swell my stomach making inhaling harder
I switched to my favourite tipple,… read more
Why on earth would you think this might be a good thing? Chek yourself.
Thank you Jean.
I am in severe stage copd. I have always been warm blooded but My hands and feet seem to be cold quit often. At times I just can't get warm. Anyone else experience this problem? What causes this?
Invest in Bambillo bedding. Bamboo cotton sheets, pillowcases, and a Bambillo undersheet topper, or a merino wool undersheet topper with electric blanket. They're very good investments!
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. I saw my doctor a week after being discharged for a check up. I told her I’m still getting breathless, feel quite weak etc. Plus have a cough now I’ve never had before.

I have friends who have bus passes,blue badges and more support

Heat and humidity are not very good on COPD I’ve found also
I am a 71 years young, retired, male. Survived two strokes in 2009, multiple bouts of pneumonia, and (end of life)stage emphysema. Currently on 5L oxy, 24/7. Minimum activity will take my pulse/ox to low 80/upper 70. I have to immediately stop to recover back to mid 90. We are considering a move back to our home area in the Omaha, NE region. What challenges will I face in the change in altitude, pressure, air quality, dryness, etc.
Appreciate any comments, input.
@A MyCOPDTeam Member I’m surprised at everything you’re saying . I didn’t think portable concentrates went higher than 5 liters. My next thought is if your on that much how is it your climbing hills… read more
