Hi

Thanks for your reply and it has given me some hope that this is
perhaps a mix between infection and a dog we aquired a year ago. I am
allergic to dust through an allergy test and he is dropping hairs and
raking up dust on the carpet like a mad thing when he runs about bless
him. Well hopefully when I get my infection sorted out with the
azythromicine the dog won't be such a problem. But just to let you
know why my doctor prescribed COPD - THIS IS ENGLAND!!! - Our medical
care is poo! The doctor sees low response to spyrometry and the fact
that I smoked for 20 years and diagnoses COPD. I have no confidence in
that doctor any more he has regigged my meds and now even they are not
so good. I was on combivent and seratide and he has changed it all.

Well I am going this morning to see another partner in the practice.
Wish me luck.

Thanks

Gina
