Guest guest Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Greetings Samterites: Still feeling great on the zyflo. Not perfect, but sooo much better. I still have a couple of " events " a day, but they are relatively mild (sort of like going back to my previous - not so good - baseline). Seems like I am getting less relief from the Combivent than I used to but, then again, I am not as bad to start with. Certainly, better than without the Zyflo. However, I have been feeling a bit, well, strange. It is sort of like that feeling you get right before you yawn - not really out of breath, just sort of 'tense.' I've been like this for three or four days now. I am trying to " work through it " as I really like the relief that I have recived from the Zyflo, but I am a bit concerned as it is a really strange and uncomfortable feeling. Perhaps, I am not getting enough sleep? I've been on my regular schedule - 4-5 huors a night - but seem much more tired. I didn't see anything in the literature that sounded like a side effect consistent with or that would explain how I am feeling. Perhaps, my body is just not used to having such an abundant source of oxygen? Strange. In any case, I intend to " suffer " and see if it improves, if not, I'll discuss it with the doctor at my next visit in two weeks. Also, I've been wicked depressed the past few days. Didn't make it to work yesterday or today and spent seveal hours this afternoon curled in a fetal position in a dark bedroom. You would think that feeling better would, well, make me feel " better. " While this has happened before, and I do have a tendancy towards anxiety and depression, it is usually associated with the times that I am on high doses of prednisone. Not sure that it has anything to do with either the condition or the meds - could just be stress, its been crazy the past few weeks and all this new Samters info has been so much to digest. So, in all, ain't that just dandy? Trade one set of symptoms, for another. Hopefully, once my body adjusts to the new regimin, I will really feel better. Going back to Cleveland clinic in two weeks for allergy testing, celebrex challenge, bone density scan and a coronal CT to get a look at the polyps. I'll report back with those results. Aspirin desen and increased dose of Singulair expected sometime after this next visit. ie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
