Reflections of COPD/Asthma – #1 of Keys to Breathing Risks

Reflections of COPD/Asthma – #1 of Keys to Breathing Risks

As a writer, I find it important to share what I learn with others so that they also may gain knowledge needed to have more secure footing when they battle their own illness or chronic disease.

Taking my responsibility for learning as much as I can about my own COPD/Asthma is something I choose to do so to make myself more aware of what is happening now, what may happen at any moment and what may…

Notes to Know About COPD/Asthma – COPD/Asthma and the Weather – Part 2

It is always important to know what is going on in the world of COPD/Asthma, hence a new weekly (at the minimum) posting of ‘Notes to Know about COPD/Asthma’ – because those of us battling the issue should always be up to date on what is going on, and that includes both the positives and the negatives of the COPD/Asthma life.

With the weather recently having trouble in figuring out if it still…

Doubt - - TODAY’S THOUGHT, WORD AND HOPE

Doubt – – TODAY’S THOUGHT, WORD AND HOPE

(September 6)

What better way to share with others who share the daily battle and frustrations with COPD/Asthma than by passing on some daily words and thoughts that bring hope and renewal, because as we all know – without that horizon of hope, our daily renewal of faith and fight can dim in a hurry.

So take, read, meditate and hopefully find some hope to attach to your faith for today – – – – –

Reflections of COPD/Asthma - It’s Necessary Nutrition, Pt. 1

Reflections of COPD/Asthma – It’s Necessary Nutrition, Pt. 1

As part of my own battle with late Stage III COPD plus severe Asthma, I am writing to document things I read, learn and experience for a couple of major reasons.

Two – so that maybe I can reach even just one or two f…

Lenny & Me 4 Today – Struggling with Humidity

Lenny & Me 4 Today – Struggling with Humidity

So now that I am back I figure I need to sit down and give some thoughts at just where Lenny (the name I have given my COPD/Asthma) and I may be for today.

I write these as part of my therapy for dealing with my own battle with COPD and Asthma, the lung diseases that have put me into the category of being disabled and unable to hold most jobs because of my inability to do anything real physical…

‘Lenny’ (my COPD/Asthma) & Me 4 Today - - I Is Back!!

‘Lenny’ (my COPD/Asthma) & Me 4 Today – – I Is Back!!

Been a long while and I am fully aware of that so the first thing I will do is apologize.  Can’t blame the extended break from both my blog wheezingaway.com and my postings like ‘Lenny & Me 4 Today’.  I know that these extended breaks of late should not have happened, but they have and all I can do is get back behind the keyboard and crank it back up.

I know that I need once again to get more…

Exercise Easy...

Exercise Easy…

While looking for ways to give my body and lungs a workout without kicking my butt, I will on occasion will post what I may call ‘Exercise Easy’ ways to get that much necessary daily workout.  Obviously this should be done in tandem with other exercises that work for you.

Something in this kind of goofy looking exercise seems to actually help my breathing while also giving my upper body some…
