Good morning a bit about me

[debbiehix]

My name is Debbie I'm 48, I have C.O.P.D and asthma, not doing too good at the moment went too doctors finding it hard to breath especially when I start to do any exercise even walking. Doc sent me for x ray and put me on steroids. But not doing much, well that's life I suppose that is what happens when you have COPD. Anyway my greatest love is my dog, ceaser he is a German shepherd. And you might find this strange I built my own pond and know keep koi fish and they to are wonderful, I have also had the opportunity to half own Oscar ahuge old carthorse of a horse with a tremendous personality not very ridable but great company. I'm I don't know what to say. He he, please ask. Love Debbie

Welcome Debbie, do you have any other symptoms of a possible chest infection? IE coloured sputum?

Hi Debbie and welcome, sorry to hear your struggling, but envious of your horse! I've had horses on and off all my life, sadly had to let them go last year as I felt I could no longer look after them properly. You are young so should get many years of pleasure from him/her. I miss mine every day Copd has a lot to answer for! You take care xx

Hi Debbie

Welcome to the site. I'm 57 and have COPD as well as lung cancer so breathing is a major issue for me on a daily basis. Like you I'm an animal lover having two Labradors and my faithful old cat who always manages to find my lap!

My little pond well what can I say has little frogs who leap out every now and again leaPing across the shingle before hiding behind plant pots ha ha!

I hope you get a lot of comfort from this site as I do. Carole xx
