Breathe Easy

This film is about living an active, positive life with the handicap of severe COPD / emphysema and the need to use supplemental oxygen.

It is also about living fully with any condition at any age.

Even though you have the physical problem, you are still free to choose your attitude about it.

As Albert Ellis said, " People are disturbed not by what happens to them, but by their view of what happens to them."

Breathe easy.

Love her upbeat attitude and she's sharp. I was recently diagnosed with COPD w/asthma and am amazed at all the information and good stuff like this sure helps!

I loved the movie - I also use oxygen and go to pulmonary rehab 2X per week and I love it. It is making me feel better and I actually am after only a month at it. I enjoy the participants there with me (most are women) and I like being an older person (on the fringes at a mere 65). COPD is nasty but you CAN make the most of it. Would love to know how LOP512 got to teach that class. I would love to try it out here in Los Angeles.

@LOP512 - You're welcome! I forgot to mention that I'm on O2 24/7 and now when I get stared at when I go out (Oy Vey!), I'll just think about Lois (teaching a class and using O2 and not embarassed by it).

I was diagnosed in 2001 with COPD, still hanging in there! Nice video. I'm on oxygen now and sometimes do feel embarrassed. Trying to get past it. I'm 63.

I'm 46 and was just told I have Emphysema with 29% lung left. Thank you for posting this video. It gives me hope.

I think I want to be you when I grow up!!! I am 54, also with COPD. I am managing my condition pretty well and am on the list for a lung transplant.... but am holding out for the "Baywatch" model... maybe the outside comes with the inside!

[2bscene]

Excellent attitude! God Bless you! You are helping sooooo many that see this!!  Excellent job!

[barthums]

this video is very good many FEAR going on o2 and leave MUCH too late

Ps I have Bronchiectasis

Thank you for your encouragement. What role model you are. Now all we have to do is change the medicare & medicaid laws about forcing us to start having heart, kidney or brain damage before paying for supplemental o2

That it is not a luxury for the rich only, but a necessity for all of us with lung diseases.
