      From want2bwell February 29

      Hi Lilymay, Welcome to DS. I was reading some about you and that's what me and my family thought too. That since I had quit smoking 2 years ago that it should help me to feel somewhat better. Well guess what. I don't. And doctors don't say why ecxept that I ahve a very serious lung disease. Well heck, I knew that! But why am I not improving just a little from not smoking. Oh well, I hope you are well and continue to feel alright. Here is a big hug for you. Take care

    • Close COPD & Emphysema

      I was told i have COPD after i quit smoking .The morning cough i used to get didnt go away after i quit.It took over a year for doctors to admit i had a lung problem.But finally i am having treatment for it now.At the moment i am on 2 types of inhalors and also i found that Bromelain tablets from the health shop help to dispell the gunge from my lungs ,also i eat 2 pears a day to keep the gunge really thin .i didnt think it would work ,but it has really helped me clear the congestion

      Treatments

      Atrovent Working / Worked
      worked for a short time .
      Combivent Working / Worked
      still working 3 or 4 times a day good days and bad days.
      Symbicort Working / Worked
      used twice a day helps somewhat.
