I am glad that you were able to get some help. You know how I am about all this; every time I watch my better half doing things around the yard, that I used to love doing with her... then realize... "I just can't do that anymore!"
As far as I know there is no treatment other than to slow the progression, and if you don't die of something else first, you will eventually die gasping for air.
Just horrible way to goI was just explaining to a fellow named @zeraton about COPD, which he apparently knew nothing about.
@jerrytsuseer,
I quit smoking cigarettes in May 2020. Yes, I use a vape (4 ingredients rather than however many) but I just traded one addiction for another. My Mom and her life partner both have COPD as well as emphysema... Her partner has it much worse. I have known folks who had it, that did NOT smoke, but man... like you said, just a horrible way to go. Sure... we could sit and talk about how they can cure all the "insert your fave sickness here" till we are blue in the face. But despite all of that. I think it is awesome you got some help, and sure appreciate your sharing it with us!
