introduction

Hi from Barb in Ontario. Diagnosed with COPD three years ago. I was a smoker for about 50 years and now I'm paying the price. I also quit smoking cold turkey just before I was diagnosed. I'm on spriva and oxene turbuhaler.

Hi Barb;

Welcome to what we hope will become a 2nd or 3rd family for you!

The folks here are great, willing to help, support, educate... while wanting to learn and share from you as well. They're simply a darn good group.... not that I'm biased..

You did the biggest thing you could do; don't need to tell you that and WTG!

Oxene Turbohaler? Not heard that term but heck... I'm so sleepy at this point......

Anyway Barb; my name's Jackie (aka Blossom) and; it's nice to meet you and I look forward to getting to know you better!

Once again..... WELCOME!

Nice to meet you, Barb. Hope you find this is the right place for you to learn and share what we know and see in the news about COPD. We also have the added benefit of offering you a second family, as Blossom indicated. We can come every day to the 'Fence' thread and check in with each other. Maybe some day after you become comfortable with us you might join the group. See how we live daily with COPD.
