G'Day lungpls...that is a great handle and I relate...On one had I wouldn't mind some new lungs but on the other just gotta try and make the ones I've got to work as well I can get em to do!!...Its a bit of a shock to the old system after being placed on oxygen. Are you on oxygen 24/7 or ?? Just curious. I too have the dreaded copd and am on oxygen too for when I exert myself which means walking, lol!! Oh well!! So when you feel up to it get yourself to a Pulmonary Rehab course coz they will give you heaps of info and show you good exercises to do to get those lungs working to their best. Just a suggestion. You may already have been told about this. Those courses can be a real universe send!! Anyways all the very best. Oh and diet is so so important too. Good luck kiddo. Jules

Hi. I was taken to hospital last year I have COPD but m breathing sent to good after 2 days came home with oxygen in place and smaller bottles for when we are out and about. and hubby has a wheelchair for me. I have towear a mask in bed overnight I retain CO2. So good job I have a understanding hubby with all the noises it can make. We take each day as it comes I dd have to give up my work. I try to keep going pottering around the house. See the consultant every so often. Think my worst part is anxiety I am not good in the morning with breathing and i get panicy with my breathing but hubby here to help.jow long have you had copd for.

Hello and welcome you will find lots of help and advice on here. I too have COPD and am on oxygen just about 24/7 now. You will quickly get use to it and find you can do more with it than without. Best of luck
