Terrig- Thanks for your suggestion regarding honey. I already use it with good temporary effect. I get additional temporary relief by using liccorice root pieces in mouth, as well as mixing the root powder with honey and kind od licking it. If yu or somebody else is interested, liccorice root and powder is available from Indian Grocery chain, Patel Brothers. The root from there is big piece.

Hello Scott

Thanks for your response.

Besides independance in general, to what extant can one hope to be active? For example, I used to walk about 2 miles daily, Taking care of oneself, gaining some lost strenghth, being able to drive etc. I was very discouraged, trying to get back to normal life, i.e. taking care of myself and everyday chores of life.

I was started on oxygen about a month ago.

I live in greater Detroit area, and trying to find local support group/s.

I use Oxygen constraitors, one for each floor, and a portble one for out of the house.

If you or somebody could share his/her journey from starto the present state, I will appreciate and thank you.
