You may want to put a picture of a portable oxygen concentrator along with the other equipment. The technology is now there for small units with a lot of battery life. It lets patients know they can still travel even during oxygen therapy.

You know, I see that you have an educational video about COPD from YouTube. YouTube is not a very good site to find medical information. I have 3 videos on my site at http://www.copd.about.com. I would suggest that you send your readers to visit these videos for more complete, and medically accurate, COPD information.

How do you eat a healthy, balanced diet if you have no appetite to begin with? That is my biggest problem. I now weigh 84 pounds……..very tired. Doctor is doing blood tests as we speak.
Any tips greatly appreciated! I work a very active job outdoors so that helps me greatly believe it or not! Still working so I figure that’s pretty good!
I’m a survivor of ARDS and many other problems that occured as talked about on one of your earlier pages. They called me a miracle………..thanks to God!
That was ten years ago. I was in a coma for seven weeks on every machine you could imagine. Bleed thru is what I was also known for. It was something. Anyway I’m looking for any information on people like me and what they are now experiencing like me.
Thanks again,
L.Lou
