Is there a forum for copd/emphysema?
 

I don't have it, but a late friend did, and it was very painful. Some if the medicines also caused overall pain, and obviously people on oxygen cant travel far and need online friends. I haven't seen a forum for emphysema here but it would be really great to have one here. It's such an isolating disease.....I might just not have looked enough, if so my apologies.

Hi Querky
Sorry to hear about your friend.

Respiratory illness would fall under our General Health Forum as it is not a neurological condition per se.

New Forums are considered when sufficient members express the need for them

Thank you
 

I understand how copd isn't neurological per se, but the intense pain she went through was always blown off. It is just my wish that the overall bodily pain cops can cause will someday be taken into account, treatment-wise. I think it woukd improve the quality of life and if it matters, be cost effective as well.
