Todays ? from Norso numbskull....... The 30 mins exercise per day does it have to be all in one session. For instance I do squats waiting for kettle to boil. Then may not do star jumps till I've drunk tea. Then read then do push ups etc. Should I …

Just googled neuropathy and copd and wish I hadn't... Ive been having tingling in left hand and foot. It started with foot going numb about half an hour after walking then coming back to normal after rest. Now foot goes numb very soon after putting …

It's always nice to have something to look forward to. Whether it’s a special meal, a TV show or sports event, a phone call with a friend, or something more long term... the graduation or wedding of a loved one, a once-in-a-lifetime vacation, or …

This might be easier than the previous? //ed

When I changed my cannula I discovered there was no air coming through it -- neither the old one or the new one. I checked my hoses and there was no air coming out of anything, altho the little bit of water in my bottle was bubbling. After messing around …

With my NHS respiratory appointment months away, I paid for a private consultation today and puffing into machine yielded what I think he said was 73% or thereabouts... I asked what stage and he said moderate and mild, he used both terms... so I'm still …

Because I'm waiting so long to see specialist I asked for my x-ray report as 3 doctors have given me different versions... Here it is:- Standard chest x-ray: old pleural scarring. Emphysemous changes reported. Nil acute. Consider resp referral. XR …

I know this question has been asked and answered a lot but it is about 4 years old so as new participant allow me to ask it again. I am now 'graduated' to 6 LPM and also to dry and blood smeared noses. Not a full bloody nose but some times a dry nose …

C3 - empty the bar A3 - once over easy

I now run on continuous flow so I just stick the end of the cannula to my ear. At 5 or 6 lpm it sounds like a mini-tornado. I also find my nose to be really sensitive to cold and sneezing.

I've never been good at the "every" day, but I do write often, and have been writing since I was in high school. My writing tends to be more reflective than detailed. It helps me tap into something at a different level ...At times writing helps me make …

Sorry to ask yet another question but with little access to drs and no consultation with respiratory for months I have nowhere else to turn... To recap... I had a chest x-ray and was told it showed emphysemic changes. About 2 months ago. I congratulated …

As stated above, try the inhaler. I would ask what type of inhaler, just for my own knowledge. For some reason my doctor is not much of a fan of Mucinex, I never have asked why but I never tried it. Staying hydrated is essential. You mention that in the …

I was diagnosed this June. I have never smoked, been around a smoker or been around chemicals/irritants. My PFT showed my lungs are functioning at 85%. I have a good pulmonologist but still very confused.

This might be a problem with my head music and not my oxygen level. I recently had to increase my O2 to a minimum of 4 lpm to maintain a sat of even as low as 85-88. I did this on my own as I had no upcoming dr appt. Other than not being able to maintain …

Hoping I'm not getting forgetful but I seem to recall that my mum, at her copd/breath easy sessions, was once told to buy balloons and blow them up as an exercise. Would that be right? Ironic I might well go to same session she did. Least I know where it …

Good afternoon all. Hope everyone is doing well. I am just wondering if there are any runners here who are on oxygen? Or does anyone know of any? Thanks for your time.
