Thank you for the warm welcome. I am so happy to be here. I will tell a little about myself and why I need something like this. I was told about 1 year ago I have copd. Well, I dont have any support or caregivers, My family seems to think I should be able to do what I always done and they will not heslp me at all. Mind U, they do have thier own problems and things, but I feel so alone with no help. My husband can be a great help one day with certain things but then the next he says why cant U get better. I keep telling him if I could I would. I really need some support, as I have been very sick this year, I also got so weak from being down so long. I didnt realise what I could do to make things better until for myself until I did some searching online. But with being so weak I will have to start slow. I will do it. I just need some friends who understand and know what it is like not being able to breth and then being scared cuz you cant and now realising I was making things worse. I need help with a diet as

Caperchic53
Welcome and glad you joined.
It is hard to get family to understand. I didn't tell my family for quite some time and my I continued to take care of my parents with their doc and chemo. After my dad died, I just needed help and finally let it out. They still don't understand. But, sooner or later, they will see. Sometimes family just has a hard time seeing the strong member get sick and the reality hasnt set in.
Explore the gym and question and info. there is alot there to help

Thx I am grateful for this site. I hope to come to know each and everyone. There is so much I have learned in just 2 days. I have been lkisting alot that I learned and want to ask my Doctor about. I would love to learn all I can so I can support people around my area eventually. Right now I am going to get up and build up my strength get on diet and I am going to invest in some excerise bands and so walking. I wrote to Cape breton Post asking they let people know about this site. So many dont know, as I didnt that there was support out there.Thx Everyone. Joanne

 We are happy to have you join us. As the others said, jump in and have a look around. Ask questions and someone will help you. I too was over weight but have taken it off and kept it off by living the Atkins life style. You also need to move that body, even if it's just a little. Start walking a little and keep on going. Even if it's only for a few minutes. Every little bit helps. Grab a couple of cans from the pantry and use them to do a few, gentle arm exercises. Just start. It will get easier. |
