Like I told the Doctor, it's easier said than done, smoking calms my nerves and reduces the stress, but I'll give it another shot! 🙏🤞🍀
I became so short of breath I HAD to quit. My doctor told me I have emphysema. I quit 4 month ago, cold turkey. When I had a craving I would think how I grasp for each breath and the cravings and withdrawals disappeared. I am still short of breath because my lungs are destroyed now. The only thing that belongs in the lungs is air.
Me too 😢
Me three 😢😢
@@sierrasunshine68how are you doing? I just got diagnosed too and trying to stop smoking
I’m so sorry to hear that 🙏❤️ I am anxiously awaiting for my results tomorrow from a bronchoscopy I had last Friday. I am trying to quit too, however I just gave in tonight saying to myself it’s the last smoke again. Let’s try be positive and choose life and pray for another chance 🙏 I am a single mother of a 7 year old daughter.
❤️❤️❤️🙏
This is my first truly serious research about EM, I have mid line EM at 59. I am still smoking, I am dieting, and reaching out for help very soon to stop smoking.
Hope you’ve stopped
Did you stop darl?
I haven’t smoked for over 13 years . I quit before I was diagnosed with copd . I now have emphysema. I’m aged 57 and I’m now like that lady down the corridor
Wow how long did you smoke for?? And how frequently
I want my life back
I have stopped smoking for about 3 weeks now because I have COPD. i'M NOT WHEEZING ANYMORE NOW AND i'M SLEEPING A LOT BETTER. i'M STILL BRING UP PHLEGM BUT i WAS TOLD THIS IS NORMAL WHEN ANYBODY GIVES UP SMOKING AND YOU ALWAYS FEEL TIRED AND COUGH EVEN MORE WHEN YOU START TO GIVE UP. iIS THIS TRUE? THANK YOU
Does emphysema stop progressing after quitting?
I don't think so the progression might slowdown.
@@robincook4349 I quit after my diagnosis. It was very mild & has remained unchanged. Quitting stops the progession
Quit interrupting the Dr plz...
They don't quit becuase they feel they are doomed and it won't matter.
Sadly some people do 🥲
no, its because they really can't believe it's happening to them.
EXPLAIN the Leonard Nimoy situation. He quit 25 years before he was diagosed
THEN died five years, barely, after diagnoses.
Ok, I will explain it. He was 83.
