it all started in 1993


by: George on Thu, Oct 25 2007

In 1993, I was diagnosed with scarcoidosis [sarcoidosis]. as the years went on, I started having a loss of breath even while talking. anything I do, I have a shortness of breath. well last week I was told by my Doctor that I now have COPD I have been suffering at work for the past 2yrs. and really didn’t pay that much attention to it (I just learned to live with it) until I almost passed out one day, and decided to see a doctor. So here I am. I am not afraid though. I am 51 now, and I’ll make the best of it.
