Hello All,

I hope that like Grump this doesn't come out in the invisible ink! I am
43 and was dx in 05-I didn't quit smoking until this year. I was in
denial. I have several other chronic diseases and just didn't want to
deal with another. But I finally woke up. I was started on Advair and
Spiriva in 05. Went to Dc the other day because I can hardly breathe.
Now I am on Singulair, Prednsion and a home Nebulizer-Albuteral every 6
hours.
There really isn't much out there on Emphysema. I have ordered a few
books but my main source of info is my Uncle who is in the end stage.

How many of you have changed your living habits such as non aersol
sprays (they take up the oxygen in the air when sprayed), fragance and
dye free laundry products, using vinegar and lemon juice and such for
cleaning? I would love to know what every body is doing.

Nice to meet you all,
Zoe
