Guest guest Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 She was never asthmatic. I'm not worried that I might have it even though the doc said I have Asthma or beginnning COPD.

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 I know a person with COPD that lives are good life. He has to be careful, but he uses a nebulizer everyday, but he definitely has it under control and has been able to reverse some of the damage.
