Emphysematous changes and early background COPD on my CT. Lung function testing in a couple of weeks.
I am doing everything I can to slow progression - daily exercise, good eating, vaccinations etc
I play 8 ball pool and attend our National event annually (I have also represented my country). The last two events I have caught COVID and have only felt slightly unwell. They are large events with around 300-400 people.
I know I need to avoid getting sick as the consequences are too great of it gets to my chest.
I am an extrovert and I’m so sad that this part of my life now appears to be over. In fact it feels a bit like my social life is now over and I’m afraid I will end up becoming a hermit for fear of getting sick.
Anyone else had to manage something similar?
