Originally I was diagnosed with lung fibrosis and earlier this year I received confirmation that I have CPFE combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema.I suffer from shortness of breath and some everyday tasks are becoming more difficult. Even putting my socks on can leave me short of breath.
I have noticed that the change in weather really causes breathing problems.
I feel as if I am being treated as an illness and not a person by my doctor.
The last year has been difficult mentally , as I also found out I'd had a stroke, I have a partial blockage in the artery in my right thigh, as well as having Hip problems.
I'm really hoping to chat with others who have been through/going through the same thing.
