I was diagnosed ... I'm 59 years old and female. I was diagnosed a couple of years ago with COPD and I was beyond scared! My lung function test indicated 49% capacity. After having had flu a year ago, the shortness of breath, coughing and chest pains continued even after being treated with antibiotics. I've been smoking two packs a day for 36 years. Being born without a sternum caused my ribs to be curled in just one inch away from my spine, resulting to underdeveloped lungs. At age 34 I had surgery and it was fixed. Unfortunately my smoking just caused more damage to my already under developed lungs. The problem was having is that I enjoy smoking and don't want to give up! Have tried twice before and nearly went crazy and don't want to go through that again. I saw the fear in my husband and children's eyes when I told them about my condition then they start to find solution on their own to help my condition.I am an 59 now who was diagnose COPD emphysema which I know was from my years of smoking. I started smoking in school when smoking was socially acceptable. I remember when smoking was permitted in hospitals. It was not known then how dangerous cigarettes were for us, and it seemed everybody smoked but i was able to get rid of my COPD lung condition through the help of total cure herbal foundation my husband bought, totalcureherbsfoundation .c om has the right herbal formula to help you get rid and repair any lung conditions and cure you totally with their natural organic herbs,it class products at affordable prices because how awful it is with this lung dictions . I wish anybody who starts smoking at a young age would realize what will eventually happen to their bodies if they continue that vile habit throughout their life, certainly total cure herbs is the formula to get over Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.Ivanna Santinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16265255104563128744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1472267869461276161.post-67087246155228389192020-02-22T09:42:22.218-08:002020-02-22T09:42:22.218-08:00I'm Абрам Александр a businessman who was able...I'm Абрам Александр a businessman who was able to revive his dying lumbering business through the help of a God sent lender known as Benjamin Lee the Loan Consultant of Le_Meridian Funding Service.

It's slowly starting to come into balance, and hopefully soon the good days will outweigh the bad. I think the years around your kiddo's age are especially frustrating, especially when your kiddo acts a bit older than their actual age. It makes it so easy to forget they're only 3 or 5 or 11, and then when they actually act their age, we lose patience and get frustrated. I hope you end up feeling gratified and closer to where you want to be this Lenten season, Sarah!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06709460218598831056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1472267869461276161.post-64118046141259144702014-03-24T22:57:49.608-07:002014-03-24T22:57:49.608-07:00Thanks Sarah!

She's 11, going on 16 :) It's very typical for kiddos to be self-centered until about 10 or 11 before their sense of self truly starts to turn a bit more outward to the point that they derive satisfaction from helping others. Or at least, that's what I've seen in my kiddo and her friends. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06709460218598831056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1472267869461276161.post-68019010090879157892014-03-23T20:11:24.160-07:002014-03-23T20:11:24.160-07:00That is so sweet!

I had big plans for Lent - give up yelling/reacting in anger at my son -- but it's been really hard to change old patterns. I guess all I can do it try, but I feel doubly awful when I react badly -- not only am I yelling at my (mostly) sweet boy, but now I'm breaking my Lent promise too. Argh...
