Thank you so very much for a really informative video! I had a Spyrectomy in February in 2020 and was given another inhaler to try out for 3 months and then have another Spyrectomy and then go for pulmonary rehab. What with Covid coming along I never did have a second spyrectomy and I’m still waiting for one. I had an X-ray last week and “we will wait and see after the results of that”. I’ve had 2 flare-ups during the last 4 months and 2 phone call appointments for diagnosis on the flare-ups, and if it wasn’t for YouTube and videos on the NHS and BLF I’ve no idea what I would have done! Now, I’m just waiting!
Many thanks for all your help

I would be great to start with a definition of COPD. I am still not sure what it is!
