Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

Hi, my name is Armadillo26. I'm here because I want to live more peacefully despite my parents' COPD and lung cancer (My father passed from this).

As long as I don't move there's no pain.
I had to go downstairs for 2 packages cuz Pauley was not going to help. By the time I got back to my apartment I was out of breath and wheezing.
My COPD got bad over the last 2 years. Now I've got dulera and a rescue inhaler.
My hips don't hurt like I expected. My tummy doesn't hurt anymore. And I don't have a migraine. But both of my knees are very ouchy. And I've got a mass the size of half of a hot dog under my abdominal wall. It's basically a cyst from a testosterone injection. It really hurts.
I keep thinking I have plans for the weekend but the only thing I can think is I wanted to do a fun charcuterie board and movie night. I need to get grapes.
Next week Saturday is the curiosities and oddities expo. We're going with my QPP. We've gone the last 2 years and it's become something we really look forward to. I'm gonna try to find a really cool necklace and a new shirt. I'm gonna wear my baphomet shirt from last year. I decided I'm gonna wear my puppy gear to the expo. I'll have my partners take cool pictures so I can share.
Of course the week before that I have 5 appointments. I'm gonna really need to unwind and be surrounded by dark macabre trinkets baubles and tchochki.
I've been crying off and on for a few days. So much emotional weight on my shoulders. And I need to talk to someone who understands how scary it is to have so many health issues happening all at once.
I messaged my aunt over the weekend and she replied today. We chatted about health issues. I told her about what I have going on. My mom doesn't tell her about me. And I found out the only way she talks about me is to bitch about what topics we discuss.

#MultipleSclerosis I formed this group for I did not find any for those living with osteoporosis. I called this new group: "Living with Osteoporosis". The goal for this group is like other groups in that it is a space to discuss any and all difficulties with this condition. There are many people who have it and I am among them. Apparently, my case is severe enough to take medication for it. Who out there has had difficulties with this? If so, what are they?#Anxiety #Arthritis #ChronicFatigueSyndrome #CommonVariableImmuneDeficiency #ComplexRegionalPainSyndrome #CoronaryHeartDisease #CrohnsDisease #CheckInWithMe #CheerMeOn #MightyTogether #MyCondition #MultipleSclerosis #MoreDiseases #ChronicIllness #ChronicIllness #Osteoporosis #Other #ChronicObstructivePulmonaryDisease #Fibromyalgia #Endometriosis #EhlersDanlosSyndrome #UlcerativeColitis #RheumatoidArthritis

Hi, my name is mari101_2000. I'm here because I think online support is critical. I'm a 48-year-old mom of two. Brittany is 28 and is on the autism spectrum and has PTSD. My son, Tyler, is 24 and diagnosed with bipolar and ADHD. He is unmedicated by choice. He's been sentenced to three years for probation absconding. We don't have a relationship at the moment. I've been through a lot of trauma, I'm either MDD or Bipolar 2, and I don't know why they can't tell the two apart. I have CPTSD, depression, and anxiety. I also have a chronic illness.. I have very bad gastroparesis, and it's really affecting my life. I also have horrible arthritis, fibromyalgia, and back and hip pain. These are the things that I'm struggling with. Brittany had a baby that she'd worked very hard to bring forth. She had Everleigh, and she was a stunner. Five weeks later, she died of SIDS. So we are all grieving her. Also, we lost my mother to Alzheimer's about 6 months later.

Sorry, I just spilled my guts. Hope to make some connections!

I know i should be nice and warm to my siblings especially the one who does so, so, much for everyone- and whose daughter is presently involved in a divorce. This family member’s plate is full, so full.

I know I should be happy I am not bothering anyone. My husband has been doing what my siblings mostly have done in the past. I should be exceedingly happy I am not bothering them. Or my husband doesn’t bother his family- really don’t know how they would respond if he did bother them for help.

But it hits me right between my eyes what my marriage is. Just someone who is “ there” in the event of need. I really don’t think there is much more to it. It is sad to me. But I have to put my big girl pants on and realize it could be a lot sadder.

My husband and I simply are in it- so we can leave our families to their own lives- this is a good thing but hard to swallow at times.

This I should be happy about bc my siblings have done so much for me in the past

A negative that is hard to swallow-
But especially my husband’s family will inherit monies from us-and what will we get in return-all I can do is hope my husband gets care-I question this. I wonder if my husband will get anything-

And I still work when his family member never lifted a finger to - and they- his family - are going to get mine and my husband’s money some day-

They were not at all nice to me years ago when we bought our house-and eventually they ( my husband’s family) will get 1/2 of the house. . W/o me- we would have never had this house. one relative on his side was horrible to me about me wanting a house- w our money-!! After we went to all their smoke filled parties as his sibling’s kids were growing up- and i have emphazema. And i got sepsis from my copd - last fall where i could have died from— it helps to vent-I smoked myself- not at that time-but in life-I have to take responsibility-it ie best for me to stay away from them-because it is hard for me to hold it together when i have anything to do w them/ my husband doesn’t drive-let my husband take the bus-I am not his chauffeur-but i always drive him-

I am just a lot kinder -thanks for letting me vent-his family is very different from me- i have to let I go-

Be glad I am not bothered my siblings--

If he bothered his family- I don’t think they would do anything-

I have to let this go-

It is like i married a caregiver-and there isn’t much else

Well, it helps me to vent- i really don’t know where else i can-
