Below the surface, living with COPD can mean days spent in bed, missed appointments, and alternate days when we seem "fine." There's so much more to COPD than meets the eye. We know that COPD comes with hundreds of possible combinations of symptoms, many of which appear invisible to outsiders. Most people don't see the many symptoms we experience.
On MyCOPDTeam.com, the social network and online support group for people living with COPD, members discuss the chronic nature of the disease and its hidden symptoms. MyCOPDTeam has grown to reach 75,000 members and members have shared over 1 million conversations about life with COPD! Throughout the year we will share themes we see come up time and time again on MyCOPDTeam. We chose the image of an iceberg to represent COPD symptoms because the life-impacting implications of a COPD diagnosis aren't obvious on the surface. Please share to spread COPD awareness!
