Guest guest Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 I finally had my appointment with pulmonology (he's kind of creepy, I'll be honest) and he said that despite my actual lung capacity has diminished, my body in it's super efficient ways is working just fine, it's still exchanging gases correctly and my body is compensating for the diminished capacity. He said it is not known why it has diminished but the MCTD could be the culprit and when I see Dr. C again that we should develop a plan to make sure that if its active again that we take care of that immediately. I will have a repeat PFT and appointment in six months and if everything is still going well I will just go every six months, so basically thats great! I have an appointment when I get back with Dr. C so we will discuss what the next treatment plan is there. I am mentally prepared to start back on treatment, so that's good too. Now I am off to Okizu for nine glorious days. Love to all, (MCTD, 23) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
