I was diagnosed with moderate to severe emphysena in 2000 at age 42. I continue to live a pretty good life now, 25 years later. My husband and I fly about 3-4 trips/year and enjoy life. I have had to change my treatment multiple times over they years and the last treatments seem to be working pretty well for me

I use supplemental O2 for sleep and exertion. I am very glad to have great insurance and doctors. I don’t have other significant health problems other than allergies and chronic asthma and gastric reflux.
