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!
I have COPD. Was hospitalized for 10 days about 3 weeks ago after getting RSV. I was told I’d need oxygen on discharge but after having the walking test I didn’t need it.

I am only on inhalers . If I get hit or anything on my arms it"s instant blood bruise !! Why .. What can help.. What causes this ?? (update.) ..

The prednisone makes the little thin arteries become more thinner. when u hit your arms they burst. Leaving a blood bruise . My dermatologists said there no cure for it.
Heat and humidity are not very good on COPD I’ve found also
