COPD blogs and resources

I preach over and over again that if you have a lung disease you must keep up to date on that disease. You must, in a sense, become an expert. This is especially true if you have COPD.

There are some sources for COPD wisdom on the Internet I utilize on a regular basis. Yet, as a search the web I find tons more. Below I'm going to list the COPD resources on the web that I use plus some others people have referred me to.

If you want me to add your site to this list, or if you have a sit you use that you think would benefit others like you, please email me or leave a comment on this post and I will add it to this list.
