Hello,
As I work part time for private employers, I've managed to arrange my work time so that I could work in the mornings, and I go home in the afternoon to take a nap. I also use this free time for doctor's appointments, massage or sport.
Thanks

Hello everyone,
How are you today? Have you seen this older discussion?
For those of you who currently work or who have worked while diagnosed, has COPD and its symptoms impacted your work life? Have you had to change your work activities or schedule because of it? How did or do you cope?

I work as a volunteer in a charity shop supporting a childrens hospice. Whilst there I still wear a mask in the shop until I am behind the perspex protected till area. I have only been back this month after shielding
