Good morning glad ur breathing better today. Too early for me to tell. I wish I knew what makes us soo sleepy all the time. Wish we could hear good news about Laura too. Well I hope ur monday goes well. Later gater

That's really good news River. I'm glad you have a new Pulmo. You should go armed with a list of questions for him/her.

All this COPD stuff can be so dang scarry!!!!!

Good Morning River,

So glad to hear you are less SOB and in less pain! Good Luck with the new Pulmonary Dr. I sure hope he is a good one. Sending prayers for you, lori~

Not sure - but I think I read that the lack of oxygen - (caused by trouble breathing and lower lung capacity) makes you tired because you don't get enough oxygen into the blood.

Might want to check and see if your doc tells you the same thing - or something else you can share.

Love and hugs,

Gail

I am trying to get a sleep study now I really have not had the kind of dr I would have liked that would have tried to help me figure these things out they were the kind that were like u bad u got to deal with it standard routine for everybody although we no it doesnt effect everyone exactly the same but what do u do.??

goopy i had a dr that i went to said i just had a bad cold handed he handed me a piece of paper follow the directions then he said your a bigger cry baby than most of my copd patients i found a new dr and he put me in the hospital right away i was dianosed with 3rd stage copd

That's pathetic. I never wish this desease on anyone but.............

Redneck I know u have to get the right Dr. One that really cares whether u get better not just run u through as fast as they can to make the big bucks. Hope u got a good one now.

Good morning!!!!!! Actually feeling a little better today. Pain is subsiding finally. I don't remember being in this much pain after having C-sections but then I didn't have any spare tires hanging on the incision either.

My neighbors have checked on me everyday. I'm getting pretty spoiled. Lots of home made food. I'm going to have to really step up my game when I'm better so I can return their love.

Goals today, Shower, unload dishwasher, be nice to myself!!! LOL

What are you guys up to?
