Hi there - I'm so sorry, this is my second post in 2 days. [Sorry Will57🙂] I have my psych appointment tomorrow - this COPD has really thrown me, to say the least. I'm absolutely convinced I only have a few years left to live, no matter what I read [and I'm now staying away from google]. I realised I needed help when I wasn't believing what I'm reading, and I'm driving my family crazy. I have just one question - would people be willing to share with me how long they have had COPD for? I'm sorry for repeating myself........I'm just reaching out for as much help as I can. God Bless.

I was diagnosed in 2005 as moderate at 53 years old. I am now 72. One of the people in the Repiratory department at our hospital said some people plateau and essentially stay at a certain level while others continue to progress. Exercise, eat healthy and stay away from people with colds or infections.
