COPD after 40
Living with COPD after 40 has a personal side that extends beyond the name of the condition. Familiar places, social occasions, work and time with family can all be part of how someone describes their experience.
Being understood matters, particularly when other people make assumptions about a person's circumstances or past. This topic looks at life with COPD through everyday experiences, with room for different priorities and perspectives and without judgement about how someone came to be living with it.
