My life now

I have had asthma my whole life. Lived my whole life and no one understood it.
As I aged it got worse taking off from work up to a year at a time. It was making my heart weak. Then I would go back to work for a while. This time I'm stuck on disability living on oxygen 24/7. I'm 52 and had to give up my career and taking care of my kids. It's ruined my life.
