Having copd, through work. I am unable to work since 23, with hypermobility syndrome disorder etc. I had to go back to the doctors to have a 2nd lot of stronger antibiotics, due to a chest infection which those with lung problems get. The doctor asked if I work. When I said no. The look of distain on her face. I explained I also have this hypermobility syndrome disorder and in pain. I once had to phone up for a fit note over a year ago. Spoke to the same doctor, she said oh people with copd do work.
I felt terrible, after coming out of the surgery. Ashamed in case of thinking I was a scrounger. Its not fun being like this. Considering I got copd through cleaning.
