Hi, I have just been diagnosed with COPD , I have struggled since oct thinking it was ashma. I have been given the right inhaler now so hopefully I will start to see a difference in my health. I have never smoked and so was bewildered as to why I have this . I don't know anything about it and so any advice will be gratefully received. My doctor gave me some internet sites and I have sent for some information.

@Katieoxo22 Have any of you tried using a dehumidifier to help manage your COPD? I am thinking of getting an expensive one for my wife for her birthday next month to help her.

@Gefruaw Hello, I know this is a bit late, but did you end up purchasing that humidifier? I'm curious if it helps. Thanks!
