Wigging out......

Ceacking in on you this morning buddy,yes I have COPD and I geuss evry thing eles you can have wrong with the lungs.along with an articulating valve in my hart.they say its from smokeing and im sour it does to a cence but I also think that working in a body shop doing fiber glass work and painting for 25yrs had more to do with it.back in the late 60s and all of the 70s and most of the 80s I was the only one In our area that did fiber glass work.and was the first panter in the state of MD.to paint with IMRON paint and like meny meny painters didn't were a mask.Untell I was hospitalized the secend time.boy I cant belve I was that stuped!! But I was making more money than most body and paint men In our area too.and back then a man making 70,000 a year was unheard of and If I would have went to the DC.area I could have doubled that...but that's life..now all I can do is set here with an oxygen hose in my nose and think about all of it..and try to help others and here lately have screwed that up..that another subject..OOOO well anyways get your self a good lung dr. and listen to him so you don't end up like me....take care...........Artie:coffee2::coffee2:
Imron paint.....had a friend that whose race car was painted with that stuff...as close to scratch resistant as you could get but.....He wanted to get the car repainted but could not find any one willing to deal with it.
Sorry to read of your troubles. I am on the opposite end of it all, just diagnosed and trying to figure out what meds will work. I often have troubles getting along with alot of different meds, either they do absolutely nothing or I get all the goofy side effects. Right now I am getting treated mainly by my primary care doc. He has referred me out to someone....not real wild about the guy but I am going to be patient, for now, and see where it goes. Just glad I never smoked. Grew up in a house of smokers. My Mother ended up losing the bottom third of her lungs to cancer. But I don't think she ever had any of the other lung ailments.
Artie, I may have a few questions down the road, hope you don't mind me contacting you about this stuff....
