Well done Bonnie. You show me I should be doing more to help myself.
I am in severe stage copd. I have always been warm blooded but My hands and feet seem to be cold quit often. At times I just can't get warm. Anyone else experience this problem? What causes this?
Invest in Bambillo bedding. Bamboo cotton sheets, pillowcases, and a Bambillo undersheet topper, or a merino wool undersheet topper with electric blanket. They're very good investments!
Have talked with some people on here, and they say they are an A or B or C. condition with COPD. MY doctor and the doctors of some of the other people on here say they are Mild, Medium, or Severe. My doctor describes my condition as medium to severe. I have inhalers, Nebulizer, two different inhalers, and an emergency inhaler. I have O2 but have not used it in over a year, but I know it is there if I need it.
My question is: How do you grade COPD?
That's very nice to donate to the senior centre😊

Is there anyone here that still smokes after being diagnosed. I am looking for some support to quit. I have attempted it several times since my diagnoses and have failed terribly. The patches, gum, vape pens and even cold turkey (which I wouldn't recommend)! The Doctor won't put me on Chantix because I suffer from Severe Major Depression and the side effects wouldn't be good for me!!! Two weeks ago I had an exacerbation and the E.R doctor ordered chest x-ray.s He came back after reading them… read more

I do, it would be hell to get the flu or Covid with already having a hard time breathing. Too many complications can take over.
I was diagnosed with BRONCHIECTASIS. Showed up on CT scans since dec 2021. It means that the Alvioli sacs collapsed and turned into useless bags of mucus instead of exchanging gases. In short, some… read more
