I would like to thank everyone who answered my plea for attention!
This/these bloody diseases are frustrating and fear-inducing, my God! No sooner do you have a few minutes (& that is all it is most times! Literally minutes) free from breathlessness or oedema, or lung burning, than it starts again.
All you guys & your response to me, have been a prism of light in all these dark moments.
I realized with the swamp of replies to my cry for help, how virtually impossible it is to respond in person to all of you!
I have read that copd is the 3rd biggest killer in the U.S. behind cancer & heart disease, & yet virtually no one knows much about it!
When is the rest of the world going to wake up and see how debilitating it is.
