2. I am very lethargic, average movement is from chair to bathroom or fridge. Always a slow pace, do you take walks, how long is suggestion ?
Yes walking. It was difficult at first, I could only walk like 10 minutes but I kept at it and I walked 6000 steps the other day. It took me quite a while but I just keep pushing on with many breaks.
1. I am totally cancer free and a life long (still 10 a day smoker of non-filters). Is anyone else still a smoker, light or heavy ? Your thoughts on the heat keeping congestion less sticky ?
I’m on stage 3, I quit smoking 23 years ago I tried the chewing gum, the patches I charted myself see where during the day I smoked most I cut out a cig at that time saved money for each 20 I did not… read more
Fluid intake ! I start with 8 to 12 cups of black silk coffee when first up, through breakfast till late afternoon, then a large mug filled with ice cubes and topped with Pepsi. That increases phlegm, any substitute drink ?
I don't understand why I am breathless even though my blood oxygen levels are in the normal range. Even doing minor activities while using an oxygen concentrator I am fighting to breathe.
I always try to carry on until I become breathless, at which point I need to sit down till my breathing stabilises and my heart rate slows down, I find a nap in the afternoon helps but it’s important… read more

While in hospital I'd wake up with pounding headache from oxygen also it smells terrible to me Does this happen to anyone else? Not looking forward to this
Oxygen is colorless, odorless and tasteless. It’s the plastic supplies that you are probably smelling. That will wear out. Good luck to you!

I've noticed aside from my husband bailing 5years ago (stating he didn't want take care of me anymore and listing things we used to do that I no longer can). But also other close friends and family members.
If they cared, it would seem like they'd want to stay closer. But with some, it seems they're pushing me away. I'm still the same person they once cared about, so what's up with that?
I'm pretty isolated now, and just wondered if anyone else has gin through this.
