@waterboy- You sound just miserable. How can I help you? I also have COPD but from smoking and I have lung cancer and other things as well. Over the past 23 years since my first lung cancer, I have questioned and questioned life, what it means and how miserable I was. I agree, living that way was not living, it was just life. In your profile info, you said that you had moderate COPD. Are you having a problem with your COPD? Maybe need a stronger inhaler or other meds? Or are you just having a lousy day and wanted to vent?

Merry, I am just being honest. I have severe COPD...almost little cough (sporadic), no phlegm, mainly just shortness of breath with exertion. I have a wonderful pulmonologist, Dr Niven, at MAYO, Rochester. He has me on three nebs... Bravana x2, duoneb x4, Budesinde x2, arythamyacin tab x2, and albuteral as a rescue inhaler. I will be in Rochester 5/27... lung function test and a nitric oxide exhaler test. I just had cataract surgery both eyes. Along with my Alpha 1.
