COPD is a very frustrating and difficult medical illness to battle. Hopefully, they'll soon come up with treatments that lengthen the controlled period, before having to move onto more intensive treatments.

Btw, if you're a smoker, please stop NOW!! I've cared for several residents in nursing homes battling the latter part of the illness and every one of them smoked despite their misery. The shame in that is smoking dramatically quickens the progress of the disease.
