Hi , Im Dianne and Im new here also. I was diagnosed with COPD about 3 months ago. To say my life has changed dramatically is an understatement, hehe. ;D Id love to meet some people that share my same problems, yet without dwelling on them. After all we are more then our disease........

Welcome Diane! Glad you found us. Sorry that you have been diagnosed with COPD. It is life changing but with some modifications, you can live a long and happy life with a few key changes! We are living proof that life goes on.
Feel fee to jump in anywhere. We have a thread called Daily Chat that we stop in and talk to each other because as you had said, we are more than our disease. We help each other cope and find new and different ways to accomplish things that were once so easy for us to do so please stop over, you won't regret it!

Welcome Dianne. This is a good place to be. The people with COPD that can reach out and learn from others, seem to be ahead of handling the disease. The more we understand the easier life can be.
Also, this board provides an outlet to share numerous things besides just COPD. Really glad to have you here. Not glad you were dx;d tho. We often find too, that family does not quite understand what is going on as much as someone that is sharing the same problems. Again, Welcome.
