My COPD
I'm 52 male I have had COPD since 2005 from welding I don't smoke but now I have pulmonary fibrosis I have been on a ventilator 30x and the last time I was on it for a month now I think I have PTSD of hospitals and afraid to go in but I have the worst breathing problems all the time. The steroids are the worst 350mg of solumedrol tapered lmao what a nightmare.. anyway i want my kids and grandkids in my life.
Are there others out there going through this?
My heart goes out to you,
. I can't imagine being on a ventilator that often or for that long. I can see why you have PTSD. Given that you are so young, are you a candidate for a lung transplant or will you be a candidate eventually?
I hope others chime in here with their experiences or even just to offer support. Please know that we are here for you whenever you need us. Thinking of you. - Lori (Team Member)
