Hello, newbie here. I've had COPD for several years now and after my first dreadful flare up back in February, I was prescribed 6L oxygen for 15 hours daily. This has now been reduced by my respiratory nurse to 1 litre when at rest at 4/5L on exertion.
At first I got into a terrible depression with all the oxygen concentrators/hoses/noise. Five months on I have come to accept it all but am still haunted by the possibility of dying within say, two years. (I am 67). I go out more than I did at first but am still very self-conscious about wearing the portable oxygen in public, especially crowded spaces or supermarkets. Please share any advice or personal experience as this would really help me right now. Thank you my fellow travellers.
