I feel like I'm handling this all alone.

• Ask a family member or friend to support you, such as going with you to your next doctor visit.
• If you live with someone who smokes, ask them to quit. Ask for help keeping the air in your home clean.
• Ask your doctor about a COPD support group. You can find a group in your area at www.lungusa.org.
• If you smoke, ask your doctor about a program to help you quit.

If you have trouble paying for your medicines:

• Visit www.togetherrxaccess.com, www.gskforyou.com, or www.PPARx.org for more information.
• Another option is to call 1-800-Medicare or visit www.medicare.gov.

Have you felt down or hopeless?
