Hello Dawn, I am new here too. So please stay and we can learn together,
We can share so much with her if she will sign up to chat with us. Does not seem she is getting proper treatment for the COPD. She did not mention any meds, oxygen, etc.
Hi Dawn,
I'm so sorry to hear that you are having to fight multiple illnesses! I hope you sign up to this forum. We all have COPD and can relate to you with our experiences. Also this site offers links on COPD info, exersises, NIH, etc. I don't know the history of everyone here, but there might be some who have issues besides COPD.
My prayers and thoughts are with you, you are not alone!
