	Thanks for finding this thread Chris. Are there other members out there suffering or have a family member suffering from COPD Since last Autumn my OH has been on several different steroids and antibiotics taken orally and in nebulizers, continually , none of which are helping very much. Also has anyone heard of a lung fungus which has gone into the bloodstream. Maybe this is a long shot but thanks anyway :-)

	just a question, for copd sufferers, apart from breathing problems, how else do you suffer? I run out of steam quite rapidly, even tying shoelaces, putting on socks gets me out of breath, I can walk as if there is nothing wrong, but cannot run more than a few yards, even walking quickly(or trying to) gets me breathless.... (Spiriva/ Cerutide 250) cerutide CAN give you thrush in the throat, so Drs advice is to have a good drink after taking puffs..... Bob
