How long have you lived with COPD?

HI There: Be glad to share info and trails and tribulations about this phase of where my COPD is currently. I think it is so important to be able to talk about how it is affecting us in big and small ways. The act of sharing makes it seem not so insurmountable. I try to find some humor in things that happen throughout the day so that I'm smiling!
I thought I knew a lot about my disease until it started moving through the phases and then I realized I didn't know very much and began to get informed.
My doctors have now restricted my salt intake (due to fluids) and I'm trying not to sneak potato chips! That's a huge change for me.
Hope you are having a good day!

Hi there Sorry haven't been active Just got back from Thanksgiving Dinner at my son's. Am kinda tired but will be around tomorrow for sure. I gave up salt on my own as my sweet swell. Well still do so up all evening till bedtime. No swelling in the morning but during the day stacks up. Nothing tastes good at all. I have loved salt since I was just a little girl so now everything is just blah.
Ok will be around tomorrow for sure will finally have a chat. If you don't mind what is your name?
This pic was on August 2nd 79th Birthday.
