Guest guest Posted August 22, 2002 Report Share Posted August 22, 2002 Hi RA Family...the IBS has calmed down, but I'm having asthma, which I haven't had in YEARS unless I was ill with bronchitis or a cold. I am still exhausted, but my rheummy just let me know today I'm still anemic, so I'm sure that's contributing to the fatigue. I'm waiting to hear my ultra sound results. And Monday I spend the night at the hospital for a post-surgery sleep study. My sleep has been so good...I don't think there's any more apnea, but we'll see. Then the next week I have my gyn lab work. I've been getting 'hot flashes' but only from the neck up. My Gyn said some women do get that type...better than the soakers I've heard some poor gals talk about. My Love & Prayers & Hugs for All....

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2002 Report Share Posted August 23, 2002 Tess, Me too with the asthma. I had it really bad about 3 years ago-went through all the tests-pulmonary function, stress test, lung scans-you name it. Then I went to a Pulmonary Clinic at Mass General and got it under control with flovent and serovent but for the past 5 months it has been really bad-not fair now that my joint replacements are so good. Anyway I'm going to a new pulmonary doctor and he had a CT of my sinuses done-negative for sinusitis and I have allergy test next week. He put me on a different inhaler-can't remember the name.....avair but after a few days I had chest and back pain so went back to the other inhalers. I hate this-finally able to walk but can't breath. The emergency inhalers like combivent don't do anything for me. Temple 3 Fox Haven Way Chelmsford, MA 01824 dat2352@...
