I have mild COPD, recently diagnosed. I was divorced this past year (before diagnosis). I am very much on the fence about this and wonder if I am crazy. Is it a good or bad idea to try and date? I am not thinking of marriage. How on earth would you tell someone... And do they run? Any experiences? Thanks.

Go for it Maryterese. I have severe COPD, am on oxygen therapy AND I'm 69. Haven't found any problems so far. Curiosity usually is an ice breaker, but I find that being honest and explaining your condition and its limitations helps the other person to understand. COPD can be a socially isolating illness BUT only if you let it be so.
