Re: C.o.p.d
I have it! I thought that you knew that, CC! Yes, it's an unfortunate result of a lifetime of smoking. Much as I hated stopping I had to, no choice, am on Spiriva which is a daily inhalent. I was on Advair too, but the Doctor decided Spirva was enough. At one time till my breathing improved I was on oxygen 24/4, then just at night, and am off it now. I have an Oximeter which tests the amount of saturation in your blood: I'm normally in the 94-95 range which is OK, 88 or less is dangerous. Hope this helps; any questions, ask!Re: C.o.p.d
I had a feeling that you might have this but to be honest I had never really heard of it. My MIL was given some sort of inhaler about 20 years ago and she said that it caused her to hear music so her GP took her off of it. Somehow she has slipped through the wire and has never really been treated before.Re: C.o.p.d

CC, it had been coming on very slowly for years. I really noticed it about 2 years ago, when I was experiencing increasing tiredness; needed to stop and rest while walking to the market, up the stairs, etc. Now part of that was also the anemia, which was caused by a very slow blood loss from the colon cancer (too little to show signs in the stool) .Anyhow, was definitely diagnosed on March 19th when I went to the ER because of extreme fatigue.Re: C.o.p.d
