I am really sorry I added that last part. I really should have omitted that! Please forgive me. I did not want to depress anyone. I had just read someones post that said their doctor said they were a pink puffer and I didn't know what it was. So I did an online search. I truly regret adding that last part. It was part of the article though. We all know people live years and years with this stuff. Gosh, I am probably digging myself in deeper. Pleassse forgive my thoughtlessness! No offense intended. I just thought it was informative. But truly, I shoud have deleted that last bit...

Thank you you two for your forgiving attitudes. I actually started crying after reading some of the responses to the post. (Of course when you are sick it does not take much to start crying. At least not for me.)But, nonetheless I am grateful. Thank you so much for your kind words. JoAnn

Oh gosh, do I feel horrible.
So sorry I upset anyone on here. Information is such
a valuable tool. Keep it
coming. No one has any control
over how I or anyone "chooses" to take it. Don't stop posting because I had a negative moment. Just part of
this whole "chronic" illness.
Love and kindness to all on the COPD emphysema site.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
