I have copd from smoking for 40 years. I got pneumonia and was sent home with oxygen. I have normal oxygen now and no longer need it. Has this ever happened to anyone here?

Sorry I have no experience with copd or oxygen. You don't mention if you quit smoking. If you did .. might that be the reason you no longer need oxygen? But wow, that must make you feel really good!
