I have just joined the group as well. I was diagnosed with CO in late 2013 and have not been able to work full time since. I don't seem to be as bad off as some of the other posts I have read. I can still get around somewhat. I can still do laundry and dishes but that's about it. I still drive. I have lost 40 pounds since 2013. Is this a symptom of COPD? No matter what I eat I can't put on any weight. I have been referred for evaluation for a double lung transplant to begin next week .I live in the same city where the transplant will be done. Will I be able to stay at home through the evaluation process? Thanks for listening. KTB.
