    My hubby has COPD THEN GOT Covid in April and put on a ventilator not expected to live! But 17 days later he came home ! I did a couple videos about our Covid journey bc we both are survivors! He is ok but on Oxygen 24/7! Sleeping at night is his worst ! He wakes up in a panic then gets so scared he hyperventilates and is in a full blown anxiety attack! Went to drs changed up meds and he seems to be at least sleeping well! Good to know he should keep moving bc he does! Sometimes I think he shouldn't go so much but he said and the pulmonary doc said Do not sit in a chair keep moving, so ur right it's much better ! Thanks for sharing ur experience! Hugs Barb ❤️

      Wishes hubby soon makes a recovery. Keep that body moving as hard as it is - is the only answer.

    My Mum was diagnosed a few years ago. I haven’t seen her since Aug... I haven’t hugged her since Nov last year. Saw her today and she didn’t look good, came home thinking the worst. Came across your videos and I now feel so much better, hopeful even. Thank you so much for your down to earth-ness! I wish you a Happy Christmas and joyful years ahead. 🌲

    Thank you Derek! I found your channel a little over a year ago when I was diagnosed with “severe emphysema” at 66. I went into a deep depression for months and prepared to die. When I didn’t die I started looking around and found hope through your good example. I decided not to waste another day worrying about my expiring. And I am grateful that it doesn’t seem to have gotten any worse in the last year and a half. The PFT showed me as moderate. I was lucky to have quit smoking 20 years ago. No meds yet and I’m still downhill skiing. Went 300 meters on my 6 minute walk test. I treadmill every day. Bless you for helping alleviate my stress about this. That stress was killing me way faster than the COPD. i couldn’t sleep and gave myself GERD really bad. But I’m doing great right now. I ordered the singing video you mentioned and I’m learning to sing and play guitar. I was so happy to find a recent video when I looked you up again tonight. Never underestimate the power of a good example.

    An amazing chat, Derek, giving us all great advice, information and fantastic ideas by which to live our lives. You really inspire me no end. I do as much as I can with exercise and can confirm just how much we benefit as a result. “Strive to breathe easier” is an excellent sight, the folk there are so friendly and advice to any questions I ask is immediate, do join!
    A very MERRY CHRISTMAS and happy New Year Derek, for your lovely OH too. Enjoy yourselves!
