My husband suffers chronic bronchitis. He quitted smoking a year ago. He’s 47. I would like to learn more about self-management of chronic bronchitis. Are there any books of chronic disease self-management?

I can suggest you to find ‘Chronic bronchitis and emphysema’ by dr Sheila Haas, it is a handbook, very useful, very educative. Some say that it changed their lives. It offers advices for home management and helps slow progress of this chronic disease and improves quality of life. I believe that you can order it easily. I heard about it from my sister, because her husband suffers chronic bronchitis. There is number of books written about this disease, but I think that in this one contains all the important facts.
