I haven't left my house for 10months. They put me on 24/7 oxygen and can't get out as cylinders too heavy for me. So depressing and I miss getting dressed up and out on my shopping trips. I feel I've nothing left ..so pleased you are up and about again treasure it and enjoy every moment xx.Sheila

Hi Sheila. So sorry to hear about not being able to leave your house....also feeling like there is nothing left. I hope your GP can help you with some of these feeelings and maybe an SSRI could help. I know its not a cure for the lungs but maybe make things tolerable. Thinking of you ❤️❤️❤️

Hello Sheila,thank you for your kind words,I am so sorry that you have been unable to leave the house for 10 months,please try not to get too despondent Sheila, (I know that in saying that it is much easier said than done) You know Sheila sometimes when we least expect it things can take a turn for the better, & we can again look on the bright side, I am living proof of that Sheila,, a few years back I suddenly out of the blue took very unwell & was rushed to hospital, I was in a coma for 2 weeks & spent a further 6 weeks in hospital, my family were sent for & advised that I may not survive,but if I did possibly I would have brain damage, I was quite unwell when I came home from hospital as I had lost 2 stone in weight, I honestly did not think that I would ever be able to go out & about again as I once did, but I tried to stay positive at all times & look on the bright side, & do you know what Sheila? here I am, totally unscathed from that ordeal, to this very day many friends tell me that they are amazed that I survived as they did not hold much hope for me at that time,so please do not for one moment feel there is nothing left for you Sheila, God has strange ways of working for us,& most importantly stay POSITIVE Sheila, & like myself the tables can turn for you too when you least expect them to..Take care, & Lots of love,& may God Bless you always..Maria..xx

Thank you Maria. How wonderful to have survived such an ordeal .Unfortunately the oxygen cylinders are too heavy for me to carry. I tried the smaller cylinder as had dentist appointment. I struggled to get there and with the time it took to get there and the waiting before treatment. . When I got back to my car my oxygen cylinder was empty. I had a spare in boot but couldn't believe that was empty also. I panicked not able to breathe. My husband phoned 999 and they came quite fast. The paramedics were marvellous and they brought me home in the ambulance on their oxygen.

I won't go out again as the small cylinder only lasts less than 2hrs using 3L. That's ridiculous as can't even go for a meal in that time. The larger cylinder is far too heavy for me to carry so that's out. Baywater brought an Indesit which looked great but with the weight of the condenser and then the battery that was no lighter than cylinder.

So here I am imprisoned in my home and the thought of having the cannula on my face 24/7 is really annoying me. Somedays I just want to throw it away.

My whole World collapsed when I was prescribed 24/7 oxygen and I believe it was caused by my Oxygen nurse not checking on me. Long story but too late now.

I can't believe how fast my life has taken a turn for the worse .photo of me just before I went on oxygen 20 months ago. Take care Maria .lots of love Sheila xx❤️

[primrose123 in reply to garshe]

So, so sorry Sheila, ,your photo is truly beautiful, is there not a middle size lighter cylinder to be got & perhaps you could have a spare one in your boot? Surely they don't expect people to be at home 24/7, I think I would make intensive enquiries into this problem, I do know that by listening to many people & that by my own experience the NHS do a great job,but can also be very laxed in many areas too..I wish you well Sheila, & hope that something better turns up for you that enables you to get out & about again...Lots of love, Maria..xx
