COPD and ORS

I am 53 yrs old now and I too was diagnosed with BOOP Bronchilitis Oblerterean Pneamonia and I had a lung biopsy done and they told me I had 6 months to live well it is now 2008 and that was in 1996. I am still here. Listen it will e alright I know because I lived thru a very terible depression at that time.  You must think positive and make a life changing commitment. I mean look at the solution and not the problem. It will be alright your lungs will heal themselves eventually but I do live in a smoke free enviroment  my choice of course I onlky take sinus medicine now. If you smoke quit now! I donot go anywhere where people are smoking..  It will be alright. I will pray for you God Bless You

Thank You...
You sound like a wonderful person and full of life.. I know Doctors are human and can be wrong...I am just trying so hard not to let the depression take hold of me. It does help to connect with others who actually live with this disease. Others try to be sympathetic..but not living  with the disease theirself it is hard for them to truly understand the tears and anger.
I am trying to stay away from smoke.. chemicals.. and my lungs are doing okay. Now if they could fix the ORS... or make the pain easier some days.. I think everything is going to be ok.. I am so glad you are still among us.. and enjoying your life.. Bless you.. Kritter
