Hi
My name is Marie
I was diagnosed with COPD and asthma June 2006, I was not ill at the time just short of breath. My GP sent me to an RT and i had tests done and here I am. I use oxygen o/n and on exerction.
I have never had a lung infection, in fact my asthma causes me more grief than my COPD.
I belong to a support group as well as Pulmonarey Rehab program and I have my own treadmill at home.

I hope you enjoy your time here with us. You are fortunate to have a rehab nearby AND a support group. What I wouldn't give..... What country are you in?
