I have emphysema
I only use it when I have infections and flare ups, which seems to be a lot lately.
I would have the sea and beaches I have the opportunity to travel in the next year. What would be some suggestions for places to travel with COPD I have moderate copd and am on oxygen at night.
I live in Canada and would be flying out of Calgary.
Would love to hear of any semi-tropical or sea side places I could visit.

Has anyone (that's been on this medication) had success getting rid of the headache that goes along with it????
Regular headache medication doesn't seem to even take the edge off.
I get headaches all the time, Tylenol seems to help
I would like to have a copy of this article that I can pick up and read and share with others I know that have COPD. Is there a possibility I could get a copy from somewhere?
Thanks for the hug.
