Re: Today I have .........

I do feel for anyone who suffers chest problems, memories come back to me as a boy lying awake listening to my Father coughing all through the night with TB back in the 50's. However the good side of that was he lived to be 94, we nearly had to shoot him in the end.

Re: Today I have .........

Reminds me of my mother-in-law Jimmy. She caught TB from a friend who she was looking after, after the birth of her first baby.
My mil had to go to a sanitorium (as was the way then, about 1949/50) where she had a lung removed and spent two years there!
She lived to a ripe old age too and died of an unrelated illness, in her 80's. She also smoked, Players unfiltered

Can't buy them any more, can you?

The only ones I ever see are the filtered.

Come to think of it, the only unfiltered I've seen on sale here has been Senior Service which my brother in law smokes.

Sorry to hear that Joe.

My lungs are just completely ruined by my 43 years of 3 pack a day smoking.

I had some tests done on my lungs about a month ago when I woke up having trouble breathing and although there was nothing "wrong" with my lungs, they are very "clogged up" and the tissue isn't exactly what you'd call "good".

Plus when I had a lung capacity test the person said my results were one of the worst he'd seen in his time on the job.

I'd love to say the rest of my organs are fine but that pretty much tells the story of all of them.

As I suggested earlier Annie darlin' - try hot honey and lemon drinks - keep this up for a couple of weeks - yes I know you'll get heartily sick of honey and lemon in that time, but if you persevere, whatever is down on your lungs, you'll cough up - I promise and you'll feel much better afterwards. At night also try rubbing a dab of Vick vapour rub around your nostrils too - that will also help your breathing.
