Tubbyengineer just don't get Manthrax, its deadly
A while ago I made a rash promise to get my flows done. I finally did! Don't recall when I got my first reading done, but it was when I was smoking (pre February):
peak flow 420
sats 95
now at (last week)
peak flow 450
sats 97
Woohoo! Nurse fairly confident that these should improve further after weight loss as they are still low for my height and ideal weight. Also did the take a vape and blow, absolutely no difference.
On the down side the practise nurse was very poorly informed about ecigs, her defence being that they're not promoting them as part of the approved quit package. She was yet another who thought ecigs=cig-a-likes and was a little surprised to see my Vamo with Protank 2. I also probably went overboard in regaling her with my stories of failing to quit and how NRT is a big Pharma con. She is now re educated.
Doofry - Weight loss I'll worry about after Xmas cause it's mince pies here I come... But all the signs look good for the breathing side this winter, very little effect so far tbh...Another good post @Tubbyengineer, would be very interesting to see how you get on this year compared to last year, i normally end up with a bat cold and ear infection, touch wood it hasn't happened (yet).
I am still waiting for an appointment with my doc, but i must admit, nearly 2 months on and i feel so much better.
On a separate note, the weight loss will come, although i find i am enjoying food alot more, and possibly (ok i am) eating too much!
mince pies here I come...
I am sitting here with a mince pie in my hand already. A Morrison's ice mince pie, to be precise. Yum.
