Ugh, sorry to hear that. I've had mild COPD for 10 or so years now. I
do my best to exercise my lungs as much as possible. Walking and of
course playing the trombone helps a lot too. I do take a heck of a lot
more breaths than my fellow players. 

I also had that allergy prick test 10+ years ago and had a lot of
things show up on it. I didn't feel it was very accurate though. I
continued to have allergys even after a lengthy dosage of shots.
Finally the best thing that works for me is taking Levocetrizi (Zyzal)
nightly. The majority of my allergies were sinus related and I haven't
had a serious episode since.

Sadly we are getting to that age. I am recovering myself from a ESWL
procedure yesterday, they blasted a kidney stone with sound waves.
Pretty cool tech and no incision, but I am still sore and have some
pain. They also put a stent in my ureter which doesn't feel great, but
not as bad as I thought it would be. I'll get it taken out on 22nd.
