Me too. People say "you're looking great!" "I heard you were sick, but you look fine." I guess the only useful thing to say is "Thanks!" Although I've noticed a tendency to tell people I'm on O2 24/7. But that doesn't make people feel good, when all they've been trying to do is make me feel better!

Of course, I don't look sick. I'm not sick. I simply have breathing issues.

I’ve had this disease long enough that people are now saying how well I look. Either which way it doesn’t much matter. It’s just nice to have people to talk to. Stay in touch if you can. Breathe easy.
