Close Anonymous Unfriend Friend Requested Friend Load More Close Destination Page Area Group Destination Content Title Title Article Type Copy comments I am new to this site and have called the information line several times to speak with other people with COPD. Have read many of the posts on different subjects. Having been diagnosed with COPD in 2013.I have quit smoking recently and scheduled to meet with pulmonary rehab next month. I have been tested for lung function only 1 time a few years ago and it was at 47% then. Have an appointment with my pulmonologist for the end of March. My COPD was manageable with medications until January of this year when I had a bad lung infection and was sick for about 3 weeks. Now the Emphysema seems to be worse. I am 60 and not working as of right now. Thinking about filing for SSDI, will be talking to my pulmonologist to see if I qualify. I enjoy reading all the new posts and hello to all.Your help and advise welcome.
