How can I get my family to understand my struggle?
How can I get my family to understand that it takes all my energy just to breathe? They think because I look ok on outside that I'm fine, but to do the simple everyday things is a struggle for me. Just wish there was a way for me to show them how it feels to live with this disease.
Hi Perrault - yours is an excellent question. You may want to share with your family, some of the informational material we have on our website. I thought you might want to begin with this article on 'the basics': https://copd.net/basics/. Please let us know if this proves to be helpful. All the best, Leon (site moderator)
