Close Anonymous Unfriend Friend Requested Friend Load More Close Destination Page Area Group Destination Content Title Title Article Type Copy comments Had severe exacerbation in July and hospitalized for two days then sent home with antibiotics and prednisone and oxygen to be used at night and as needed daily. Was doing very well until hit with bronchitis in December. Back in hospital for two days, but the infection cleared pretty quickly. However, since December I find it hard to function without oxygen when I exert myself even by walking. Does one ever fully recover from an exacerbation? Will I ever get back to where I was in July? I have a good pulmonologist and have asked this question. I think he’s trying to spare my feelings and maybe not telling me the awful truth
