Hello everyone,

How are you today? emoticon cute

With chronic illness often comes many symptoms that can make daily life difficult. I thought it might be interesting for us to talk about COPD symptoms.

If you could get ride of one of your COPD symptoms, which one would it be and why? How would your life change if it were gone? Feel free to share here, you may find that you have some common opinions with others!

That’s not good your boss doesn’t sound very helpful I can imagine how you feel cos of our condition,I am very wary of meeting people I tend to think everyone is contagious which is silly really. Stay safe.
