exasperations = exacerbations
Alot of how one responds to the challenges that present with COPD is your support system. My husband passed 5 years ago and I'm basically feel like the Lone Ranger. That effects your whole outlook. I have to take xanax before getting in the shower....scares me to death, but of course you always feel better after your hairs been washed and clean nite wear. I have always been so independent and HATE to ask for help......may just spend the inheritance $$ on self care needs!

When I had occupational therapy, the therapist suggested I wash my hair when sitting on my shower chair. Instead of raising my arms to my head, she said it's easier if I bend my head down and rest my elbows on my knees and wash my hair that way. It truly did help when I wasn't able to wash it otherwise. Good luck. You're never alone. We have our guardian angels. < 3 God Bless.
