@silverkat You have a mild form of COPD and you are looking to connect with members that have utilized a humidifier for their lung symptoms.
You will notice that I changed the title of your discussion/question. I did this so it would be easier for members like @merpreb @mrbill @waterboy @windwalker @fighter to connect and answer your question.
Below are a few resources that @johnbishop gathered for you to help answer your question.
- Lung Health Institute - Humidifiers for COPD During Winter: Keeping the Air at Home Clean: https://lunginstitute.com/blog/copd-humidifiers-winter-keeping-air-home-clean/
- COPD and Humidity: Tips to Help you Prepare: https://www.webmd.com/lung/copd-humidity
- Cleveland Clinic - How You Can Tell If You Need a Humidifier - Humidifiers improve breathing, reduce lung problems: https://health.clevelandclinic.org/how-you-can-tell-if-you-need-a-humidifier/
May I ask if you live in a dry climate or if it is dry where you are in the winter?

This is great information, thanks. I'll be ordering a humidifier today to help deal with my newly diagnosed lung problem. Consumer Reports has an excellent report on humidifiers and how to chose the right one based on room size, type, maintenance needs, ease of operation, cost, etc. Reading it was really helpful to me to figure out what to buy from the myriad of options available. http://www.consumerreports.org.
Virginia. I think it would be considered dry for the most part. thanks

We just got two new ultrasonic ones (for the great room and bedroom) and your articles are very helpful. Thank you!
