The beauty with the hard days is that you get to see how strong you truly are

I think this topic got a little off track. I wasn't looking for advice on portable oxygen, believe me I've researched it and also use portable tanks already. I'm just embarrassed going out in public with them. The point of my posting was to put a face on what smoking can do to you, even years quit like I already was when I got diagnosed. And the importance of quitting before you start having breathing issues which I did not do. I quit because of my breathing issues and I should have quit before I had issues. Also I was admittedly shocked by the number of people on the COPD site who still smoke and are on oxygen. I can't even imagine how they can do it and its sad to see when you know they can quit but they don't think they can....

Can I just tell you that bullnose is rounded corners? (have pleasant dreams )

Oh no I do agree, is it just circles you like or can it just be rounded like a bullnosed wall?

Maybe because you like circles?

Since we were talking about up and down arrows it would seem more linear wouldn't it?

What's there to be confused about?

It seems to be going up and down doesn't it?

@Opah, you can't just order one lol. You need a prescription for oxygen from your Dr first. Unless you bought one from a private party I guess but I don't recommend it unless your Dr has determined you need it.

Shortness of breath is the most common sign of COPD @Opah. Other symptoms are different for everyone, some have a chronic cough. Some, like me, don't. Some have excess phlegm production. Some, again like me, don't. Some have frequent chest infections. Weight loss is another symptom, one I had. There's several other signs and normally your Dr will request a pulmonary function test to see what stage it is. As well as CT scans or chest x-rays, and blood and urine tests. For me I was so short of breath that I was burning more calories trying to breathe than I could consume. I couldn't even shower or get dressed without being short of breath and each cold I got only made it worse until it came to a head in January 2020. And really it was a double edged sword because at last I have treatments that are helping me. Too bad it came at the expense of my freedom from an oxygen tank..............

Congratulations @Wayne045 on your fifth year smoke free! Its great that you've stayed around paying it forward so thank you! I hope you have an awesome day today!
