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

My husband found out last july he has copd. Doctors told him 7 years ago he had emphasema (excuse my spellings) he has a inhaler, & a few other tablets to take but they dont seem to work and his gp seems to fob him off (i feel its because he still smokes) but is there a copd nurse or someone that could advice us with further treatments?
I have stage 2 COPD with emphysema. I was referred to Pallative Care here in Ohio. Yes, I still smoke, but I’m trying! I use Trelegy and use Neb. I get tired easily, but I keep moving!
I would like to start using the vapor ( cig) but i would like to know if anyone else has used it .... thank you
I used hypnosis to stop smoking. It got me through the 5.5 days of detox with only two pockets torn off my shirts grabbing for a pack of cigs.
I have a gas stove so have purchased an induction hot plate which is much safer. I also use an electric grill and an air fryer.
That's good......its proving to be a deadly alternative.
Thanks, Carolyn.
I was diagnosed with COPD quite some time back. I dunno when. But I wasn't told anything about it. Just prescribed a couple of sprayers
I've actually just recently been learning about it pretty much on my own. So I'm still pretty dumb about it. Early summer before last I had Covid. It wasn't that bad I didn't think. I had horrible headaches at first, then I could not taste anything. I was not hospitalized. Myself and a family member who also had Covid were quarantined to home for 14… read more
Thank you
