This used to be a great place. Now no one comes. I used to come here many years ago and had many friends here. Many quit coming after they changed the site. Many the used to come here have passed on. Now my breathing getting real bad. I pray for a good breathing day every day. I miss the friends I had here.

HI dear one, sorry and I know you are right. Nothing like it used to be. Liked it much better back then as well. Not sure if you remember me but that is OK. My name is Curt but I may have gone as Ranger07 back then. Used to be in touch with Jazzy and Grannie and some others but I lost touch with all but Jazzy who I am still in touch with. Great gal. Sorry for your tough breathing issues. No fun at all and wish you the best. Am on O2 24/7 now and at least the VA finally granted us portable concentrators so a joy to be free of the hose at times. Hope you get feeling better and God bless.

Hi Curt, I remember you I think. Do not remember Ranger name. I have been on oxygen for activity and sleep for a few years now. Not fun being sob most of the time, unless sitting still. I tend to try not to get sob its so uncomfortable. Showering is horrible now too. I hope you are doing ok. God Bless you too.

I'm new on the site. I have Severe COPD and ran across this site and figured I'd read all I could to understand if there was anything I could do to improve my condition. I don't know anyone on here, this is my first post. Happy 2020 to all.

Yes Jazzy told me about Grannie. Think we have lost a lot of good people. Hope you get to feeling a lot better.

I used to come here a few years ago too, I have not been back because I had so many other challenges to deal with, I think I am back on track now.

Hi Grace, I agree and I liked the old site much better. Sorry to hear about your breathing difficulty. I am still at Moderate/ Severe stage and using daliresp and other inhalers to keep things under control. I am no longer working due to the virus and the company temporarily closed due to the virus. I am trying to walk the dog more to get exercise. I have been walking 1 mile a day when its not too humid. I hope you start feeling better. Take care
