  Hi everyone I haven't been able to use this site for a while so it is really good to be here. Here's my problem. I quit smoking about 6 months ago. I am on oxygen 24/7 but the past week or so I seem to be more sob than usual and I am wondering if i will feel better sometime. Has anyone experienced this? I haven't been hospitalized since 2007. I would really like to hear from you guys. Thanks in advance.

  This is kind of funny. I have gotten out of breath in the shower for a long time, so when I got oxygen I figured if I took it in the shower with me it might help and it did. Then I quit smoking and don't use the oxygen a whole lot during the day so I debated whether or not to try a shower with no oxygen. I finally decided not to take the chance. I took my shower and got dressed and when I left the room I realized my oxygen tank wasn't even turned on. That made my day

  I am so angry with myself. I have severe copd and had finally quit smoking a year ago. Last week I started smoking again !!! I cant believe it. Is anyone else struggling with this? I know I am going to die if I continue smoking. After I quit smoking I was able to shop and get out. Today I went out and could not go in the store. How insane is that.? Can anyone give me any advise ? I sure would appreciate it.
