Me and COPD

Since being diagnosed with COPD, I have found that it effects every part of your life.

COPD effects everything

Cold air makes it difficult to breathe, especially if it is a cold wind, also if it gets too hot it can mess with you. I can't cook any more because of the steam, and the heat. I can get out of breath just going up and down the stairs. I also have broken sleep every night, so I have to take sleeping tablets nearly every night, although I don't like to get in the habit of taking them . My breathlessness leads to Vertigo...so there is not a lot I can do. And because I also have a trapped nerve in my lower spine, I can not walk more than 100 Yards, and any exercise that means bending over is out of the question. So Happy New Year to you all and let's Hope that 2025 will not be to difficult.😎.
