  • if this woman was 300lbs and seems to have almost beat copd, there is hope. very inspiring.

  • Videoblurbs, Good for you! There is always, always hope. I am going to school to be a Patient Advocate and am learning about COPD. Keep the good thoughts!

  • I have COPD diagnosed; August 2010. I was a smoker (Med term: 40/pack and stopped immediately which has been a huge help!) Parents had allergies/asthma which I inherited. Also exposed to other environmental irritants and live in Denver (mile high/thinner O2). My O2 saturation has gone from 72 to 94 in 80 days. I take meds including low dosage Oxygen Therapy (known as "end stage" therapy)

    as needed and I exercise. To anyone worried about COPD, get medical help and realize there is hope.

  • thumbs up for your determination!! =)

  • Best wishes

  • I admire this woman's bravery. Smoking is horrible.
