So glad I found this site. I was diagnosed with emphysema (copd) 4 years. I have finally learned how to live with it but it was not easy. I was always a very active person and very independent. This disease has slowed me down. I am 73 and take one day at a time....

I was diagnosed 10 mo ago it's a real struggle for me
Glad to meet you. I agree it took a lot of changing on my part too. Quitting smoking was one of the hardest. I take it one day at a time & do what I can, rest & then do a little more. Bathing is a hard one too.
Hi I was put on O2 at night almost 5 years ago from there it has gone to when I was exercising, then to almost 24/7. I was taught the purse lip way to breath and worked it until it became natural for me. I have purchased a portable concentrator and do quite well walk a little slower and yet I seem to have a good life for some one 75 years old
