I liken the experience to a loss -- loss of my prior seemingly carefree life! From initial denial to finally acceptance, you'll get there. Treatment is done in the comfort of your own place, no need to get hooked up to machine somewhere. Buy extra nebulizers so the cleaning process is less onerous. If you are too exhausted at the end of the day, perhaps you are huffing/coughing too hard. That has happened to me more than once! It's a royal pain no matter how you look at it -- you are in good company.
