    I did read that you have to continue taking the medication for 6 months and that if you stop before that time they might stop working. I hope you’re being a good patient Tanlic. I wonder if some areas have a higher incidence of it than others. As with covid it’s beyond me why some people can catch something but people they’re in close contact with are fine. Anyways, sending healing thoughts to you.

    I've had this ache in my lungs for about three weeks. I've recently seen a doctor, they've listened to my chest, no infection apparently.

    They've listened to my heart: I remember they said I've got an athletes heart once and my ticker is still beating well.

    I nearly had trials for West Ham as a kid so that doesn't surprise me, (oh... what skill I had aswell, if only i'd speed like a gazelle and could run faster, I'd probably be a pro footballer now).

    Anyway, this lung ache is not going away, so am going for an X Ray on Friday. I'm fearing the worst but hoping for the best.

    Get well soon, Tanlic.

    Sounds like something I had some time back, Marb.

    Sharp pains in the back of my lungs but nothing out of order being heard via the stethoscope or via x-ray. (I also have bradycardia - a slow heartbeat, usually around 54-56 resting, which I assume is a positive.) The doctor suspected inflammation of the external lining of the lungs but said he could only prescribe painkillers.

    It comes and goes, usually during extended damp spells of weather.

    Once I move to Spain I'm sure I'll be fine.

    Let us know how you get on.

    Thanks guys. I've been a smoker for 20 years. This must be the kick up the backside I need to give up!

    Smoking kills. Simple. Took loss of 1/3 of my lung capacity to make me give up. Using low strength, low vapour juice, low everything, worked in the end. Neat little units like Juul seem to actually encourage sustained use. Small vape unit gives you the ability to lower the input gradually. Huge difference in quality and hopefully length of life. No longer considered COPD risk. Long walks and very gradually, more cycling, are now really enjoyable. Granddaughter is great motivation.

    Jeez, Tout Seul, I always envisaged you as a super slick, super healthy, careful chappie.

    COPD is a bastert. Took my father, and he didn't even smoke. (He had a damaged lung from an incident playing football for the RAF.)

    Unfortunately one of my earliest memories is Mum and Dad visiting me and my 2 younger sisters in a TB isolation hospital when I was 3.

    Thanks Lee.

    The nasal spray seems to have made a difference. This coupled with the fact of the covid risk means I cancelled my appointment. Hopefully the ache is going away slowly but surely.
