COPD Frustrations!
What is the most frustrating part about living with COPD?
Not being able to interact with my grandchildren like I used to do. I miss not being able to go to their games because of the weather or the way I am feeling.
I feel for you try take care My frustrating moment is I love to dance, walk a lot and also travel, but due to this condition and recently had a bad flare-up with a few other combinations ended up in the hospital. I love the outdoors, and due to this somedays I have to hibernate like the bears do in winter I do in the summer and anything above 80 I am screwed, my asthma and allergies also kicks in.
My most frustrating part is not being able to do things I use to do. I can't walk a block any more without getting tired. I can't sing in church. I can't go shopping without getting tired. Tiredness is my culprit because I can't breathe.
I’m in late stage 3 of COPD and I also have PMR. I m thankful both are under control. I do have to be careful. Too much walking or too much lifting makes the PMR act up and I’m down for the following day. But my COPD kind of keeps me on track. I can remember the days, but why do that. Now I make new days to remember. I’m thankful for all the blessings I have, and live each day to the best I can. God bless you. Getting dressed is exhausting
Having to bring oxygen with you and hoping it lasts.
This is so confusing to me. How are you supposed to prove that you don't smoke? I hope that you're able to get the oxygen support you need ... just please remember to never smoke while wearing your oxygen as that's very dangerous. No need to apologize for being negative -- it's frustrating and upsetting when we can't get the help that we need or reach a goal when we are trying our best! I think all of us feel that way at times. You can always talk to us, Davoe. Hugs. -Melissa, team member thanks heaps Melisa from Oz Davoe321
Not being able to go without the oxygen. Just like a dog that is tied up all the time. Even when you try and sleep
I get you. Oxygen dependency greatly limits who you are now compared to who you were, independent, self reliant unafraid, and powerful.Yeah, I said it.
