Post by: belleg1 on August 14, 2010, 07:06:32 am

Does anyone suffer with or have a loved one with COPD? My husband has it & it's horrible.

I have it.  Was diagnosed with it 1 1/2 years ago.  Mine is not too bad yet, but it is just a matter of time.  I should have listened to my mother a long time ago when she told me to stop smoking.  I hope things work out for you.  Take care.

I've had Asthma since I was 6 (43 yrs. now) and was diagnosed with COPD 5 yrs. ago. It's getting to the point where I do my nebulizer treatments 6 times a day instead of 4 and the humidity really makes it hard to breathe. I'll keep your Husband in my Prayers...Does he have trouble with the new HFA inhaler? I hate them.

I'm not sure about a HFA, he uses albuterol. I pray you all will breathe better soon. God Bless you all.
