@AlibertiStefano About time! There is so much focus on exacerbations, which are not my main symptom at all. FEV1 now down to 25% and yet I will always say to my clinical team, “ But I don’t often have chest infections…”

[Gillian Wain @gillianwain]

@ProfJDChalmers @EuropeanLung Thank you for another wonderful conference, and for answering my question and giving me hope @ProfJDChalmers

[Gillian Wain @gillianwain]

@ProfJDChalmers @EuropeanLung @asthmalunguk It was great. Thanks to the organisers and the speakers. It has already prompted me to action on a number of fronts 🙂

[Gillian Wain @gillianwain]

@ProfJDChalmers But what can I do as someone with this, to bring the risk down?

[Gillian Wain @gillianwain]

@SoVeryBritish Gnome World is brilliant!! We went there 11 years ago and we still talk about it..

@prwukee I would still 100% recommend PR to anyone living with shortness of breath, I just think it’s important to manage expectations!

[Gillian Wain @gillianwain]

@prwukee As a recent graduate from PR, this statement doesn’t reflect what it did for me. I learnt to exercise despite SOB, learnt techniques to cope with SOB, and mentally adjust to the fact that I have to live with SOB. I found PR useful but the one thing that didn’t happen was less SOB

@ChurchCamping Loved our stay at St Laurence. We were made to feel very welcome and it’s a beautiful church with great facilities if you’re a first time champer

@DrNeilStone As a 50yo patient (because I suspect generation makes a difference) I prefer the letter to be addressed to my GP and copied to me. One consultant (older) addresses me, the other (younger, but not much) my GP. But I like that I am copied in, these days via the hospital app.

@becleartoday Professor Lucy Morgan also gives an excellent talk that includes analogies for lungs/sputum of crumpets and different toppings

[Gillian Wain @gillianwain]

@ProfJDChalmers Good luck! I hope the conference goes very well for you all

[Gillian Wain @gillianwain]

@FrimleyHealth I “graduated” from @AIRTeamFHFT classes at Farnham Memorial Hall on Friday. Thoroughly useful and motivational. I can’t change my breathlessness (much), but I can change how I approach it and manage it. Thank you to such a great team 💪🫁

[Gillian Wain @gillianwain]

What a great way to celebrate #pulmonaryrehabweek24 by graduating from my @AirTeamFHFT pulmonary rehabilitation class! Great support from the team over this 6-week course, full of tips for managing my breathlessness, plus a tailored exercise programme I can continue at home 💪🫁

[Gillian Wain @gillianwain]

@ProfJDChalmers @MereteLong @TASC_TCTU @emma_d_johnson Look forward to you expanding this trial outside Dundee for us Sassenachs 🙂

@prwukee @ARNS_UK @TheACPRC @DrNRoberts @CSPWales @divya_simhan The team at Frimley Health does: https://t.co/D9uors2EMv

@MayhewArcher @ruskin147 It’s worth the drive! I had a fabulous evening when you came to Fleet 🙂

[Gillian Wain @gillianwain]

@DrNeilStone All articles should also include reference to the “therapeutic armamentarium”, a personal favourite of mine…

[Gillian Wain @gillianwain]

I was really looking forward to the session on living with bronchiectasis and other conditions and @FionaMosgrove has not disappointed! Lots of food for thought here #Bronchiectasis2024 @EuropeanLung @EMBARCnetwork @EuroRespSoc

[Gillian Wain @gillianwain]

Loving Rose Matheson’s summaries from this morning’s session. What a talent! #Bronchiectasis2024 @EuropeanLung @EMBARCnetwork @EuroRespSoc
