A MyCOPDTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have had COPD for several years, but in 2018. diagnosed with COPD exacerbation that required me to use oxygen 24 hours a day. I have a portable concentrator and oxygen tanks back up.

Contact your power and light company and ask them. I don't think they should be allowed to do that, but I don't know that for sure @A MyCOPDTeam Member.
