Single 😔

[Scottish65lass]

Hi I’ve been single for about four years,

I’ve had absolutely no luck on dating sites

I’m fit, I swim go to gym, and go walking, Im not over weight.

But since being diagnosed with copd back in May I just feel like giving up!! 💖

[sassy59]

Never give up. Try and find other things to do too. Maybe you have a community centre nearby or somewhere where you can meet like minded people. Good luck to you. Xxxx 😘💖

[Scottish65lass in reply to sassy59]

Ah Thankyou, it’s just tough on an island

[Hacienda in reply to Scottish65lass]

Hi Hun, I have a Dear Scottish Friend in our Breathe Easy Group, he is early 60's. He keeps us all enthralled with his Dating escapades, he has just recently bought his own Tartan to have made into a Wonderful Kilt, I think he should have better Luck when wearing this. Don't give up as COPD is not an excuse Not too, as you say on an Island it's not easy. Good Luck Hun. XXXX

[guytane in reply to Scottish65lass]

wot island are you on

[Scottish65lass in reply to guytane]

I’m on the Isle of Wight x

[skischool]

Never give up Scottish lass,i would come and rescue you but i'm not a good swimmer,and they do say there are plenty of fish in the sea so maybe you need to spread your net a little wider and you might find the catch of your dreams.

Keep smiling Ski's and Scruff's x

Never ever give up there’s someone out there for everybody. Also, try and get out and about to different places you never know who you may meet.

I’ve been on my on for 11 years now, slightly different I have no intention of getting into a relationship. Three times married is enough I feel and I ain’t going to start washing underpants and socks again!!

copd don't bother me am tree surgeon stil climb trees go gym even jog up 10 floors in blok flats

[jackdup in reply to guytane]

Do you mind if I ask what stage of COPD you have as stairs are usually tough with COPD.

[Scottish65lass in reply to jackdup]

It’s stairs and steep inclines I struggle with

[guytane in reply to Scottish65lass]

when I jog up the floors in hospitail my legs get tired but my lungs r ok

[Caspiana in reply to Scottish65lass]

Well, if you have COPD or any other lung disease those stairs , hills and slopes are definitely difficult even on the best of days. xx 😃

[guytane in reply to jackdup]

well I have never smoked in my life and but have had ashma since I was 21 I am now 58 well they recon am moderate but the nurse thinks I don't have copd but I am a nymic and when I have had the breathing tests done my irion was low I don't realy get out of breath more of a tite chest but since I have been taking more irion tablets tite chest has gone

[jackdup in reply to guytane]

That’s certainly wonderful if you don’t have COPD.

[guytane in reply to jackdup]

but the breathing test in hospitail says I have but 8 years ago it was borderline mild the doc said but if I had copd surly I could not lift concrete fence panels above my head as me and my freaid put a fence up and had to lift the base panls above are heads must weigh 100 kilos each and I never once got out of breath but nurse said tests can b wrong sometimes

[Caspiana in reply to guytane]

That's nice, but also expected if you don't have COPD.

[guytane in reply to Caspiana]

its funny when I got diagnosed 8 years ago I never ever got a tite chest but on reading wot copd was all about on line my chest went tite and since 2 months ago when nurse said she don't think I have copd my chest cleard I think its mind over matter I do do a breathing exercise though that open your lungs up

[Caspiana in reply to guytane]

Very good for you. I am happy for you. But for us with a diagnosed disease that has progressed and sets us so many limitations, it is not as easy to escape the harsh and life limiting symptoms.

[guytane in reply to Caspiana]

I see you had a lung transplant wot was your breathing like b for it

[Caspiana in reply to guytane]

I was at end stage lung disease, severe and on oxygen. Needless to say I was not jogging up any staircases.

[guytane in reply to Caspiana]

so is your breathing great now

[guytane]

auk I da noo do you like men in kilts lol

[Caspiana]

Hello Scottish65lass .

It must be difficult if you are in a small community. I have zero experience with dating sites but imagine it must be quite daunting . Is it possible to meet people through some kind of group like say a walking group ? Please know that just because you have COPD, you in essence are still you. The illness does not define you at all. And in fact having a disease actually makes us more empathetic (I think) and kinder people. You are a lovely person. Just keep being you and enjoy doing the things you love. I always believe things fall into place at the right time.

Sending you happy thoughts.

Cas xx 😃🌼🎶🌷🌸

[Scottish65lass in reply to Caspiana]

You are right, and I'm a great believer in everything for a reason xx
