Hi Lisa,

OMG honey...I am so sorry to hear that.  You know my mother has COPD and she is on ADVAIR and it really seems to help her. 

It is so wired I have been thinking of you for the past couple of days...I was wondering where you have been and how things were going..

Well, you take care of yourself and you know you can always come here for support...

You will be in my thoughts and prayers....

Take care...Hugs, Michele

Lisa,

You are in my thoughts and prayers.  Please know you can come here for unconditional support anytime.  Hang in there, COPD is treatable.

Hugs,
Barb

Oh Lisa, I am so sorry to hear this. COPD is such a harsh disease. Please take good care of yourself. Sending you love and hugs.

I'm so happy to see you are still here Lisa.  I missed you and was concerned while you were MIA.  Hopefully, the docs will come up with a treatment that will ease the symptoms and make your life a little more tolerable.  And I ASSUME you no longer smoke, right!!????  (Sorry, the 'mother' in me couldn't resist ^_^ )  Don't go missing again...you have friends here and we want to support you in anyway we can.
Hugs

I am so sorry to hear that you have COPD. The good thing is they caught it now, and so now you can begin treatments, once you get rid of your cold. I hope that the treatment they choose works for you. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.  I hope you feel better soon.

Hugs, friendship, & support,

I am sorry you have this disease.  I too send you well wishes and prayers!  Take care of yourself.

Hey it's ok...at least they know what you have.  Dougie has it and has for years.  He takes his lasix and pays attention to what he eats, sometimes, and he has no problem with it.  He near died from it before it was diagnoised.  If I didn't ***** at him so bad, he would have came home and went to sleep, and the doctor said he would have not have woken up.  My dad also has it and it is 89.  He got his from smoking too, along with the emphyseima (sp) too.  Hang in there, there are a ton of meds out there that can help you out, and you can live a very normal life.

Be good to yourself, Diane
