    My colds go right into bronchitis. This past winter I had it twice. And the first time my doctor put me on steroids. I've had COPD for over twenty years. I used to be a smoker. I was an idiotic fool. It took my doctor telling me, a week before Xmas and in front of my daughter, that if I didn't stop smoking I was going to die. She at six years old, asked me to make that her Xmas present. What do you say to your kid? Right? Well if you love them you say Okay. Which is what I did. I tossed the last pack, got the patches, and never looked back. She, I believe, saved my life. I was on several inhalers at first, but as time went by I got off of them all, except for when I have the bronchitis. Then I have to use a Prednisone inhaler. Once the bronchitis is gone, though, I am off of them again.

    I look healthy , can still exercise adequately for someone my age , get very short of breath just walking up a single flight of steps . My ling function testing hovers around 28-34 . If I cheat and use my albuterol emergency inhaler just prior , I van get up to 40 maybe . I have had a catscan that reported my illness be severe. I look 40 and am 56 so it surprises doctors and some people dont believe it . I wonder if I will even have a future to look forward to bc I have no family and no real loved ones . I find it hard to desire a nice future and live only day to day . My dog is dying and it doesn’t help my feelings of hope . The Dr told me that if I have a bad exacerbation my life could drastically change for the worst . What is there to hope for really ... cannot have a relationship bc I may not have much of a future . I have NEVER smoked and know others that have their whole life and ate healthier than me . I feel God is very unfair often .

      Dont worry about so much, because anyone could die in an instance.

      You have to live day by day! If you find the right person, it won't matter what you have. They'll stick with you, no matter what!

    When I was 14 I was so nihilistic and depressed that I intently prayed to God that he would just take my life , take me home . 10 years later , after smoking pot and cigarettes like a fiend for 7 years … I am feeling some serious issues in my chest . Extremely fatigued , can barely eat . Guess my heart never changed . I am ready to die , even so , without ever finding love .

    This video is so wrong, I had the test, I was told that I have asthma. I am not wheezing like other asthma suffers do, and I have known a lot in my time. I have smoked and drunk for 30 years plus of my life, I am literally out of breath in the mornings when I wake up, a walk to the shops is painful, I often have to see my toilet on return. COPD is often misdaiagnosed as asthma, so please do more research and do not settle for the asthma diagnosis.

      So for 3 years in a row I have been getting a chronic bronchitis that doesn’t go away and sometimes lasts up to 3 months I’m actually on my 4th month and I went to a pulmonologist and they did a spirometry test on me , x-ray, CT scan and it all came back normal. I later asked my doctor do you think it’s copd and he said no but then I asked him what makes you say that and he said because everything came back normal. Which I later asked what can explain these flare ups? Which he said right after that it’s just asthma. I was like wtf how is that asthma??

      @@PersonalStash420 You're wrong because you don't know nano-medication, God's mercy.
      Real stem cell therapy (Regenerative Medicine) definitely can effectively treat and
      reverse COPD. Please browse www.glordavi.com
