I'm 61 and have left work after being diagnosed 2 years ago. I know I've had C.O.P.D. for at least 5 years. Even though I've been diagnosed, I feel I could still work and function normally, but due to my financial concerns and guilt of leaving work, my health seems secondary. I feel like I'm using the system. Any guiltfree advice out there?
