    • About Me

      I was an auto parts store manager before a major exacerbation ruined what was left of my lungs. I'm looking for support groups in the area.

    • Ray of Sunshine

      From PearlB May 30

      Jay, you need a little time of peace of mind so I offer some sunshine. We all have felt like you are feeling and some still do but I think my anger was directed more at myself than others. After all I was the one that smoked but that feeling just eventually turns to regret and you get on with learning to manage the disease.
      My suggestion is try to find a place that offers pulmonary rehab and attend that. And stay with this group as so much of our being able to live with this is to be proactive in our treatment and discussions with others. Isolation is not good. I wish you the very best in your journey into your new reality.
      A friend who understands,
      Anna
