Guest guest Posted September 11, 2002 Report Share Posted September 11, 2002 Louise: Thank you for your kind words. I really appreciate them. I guess I really have been down in the dumps lately with dealing with my physical problems. However, I went to the Asthma specialist today in Philly and I feel a little better. He said that I do have Asthma, but it is not severe, in fact it is not that bad. The problem is that I have small lungs. Also, my lungs are being squeezed by my system. My bones and being so overweight are putting pressure on my lungs.. I have osteoporosis and osteoarthritis plus rheumatoid arthritis. I also lost l " of my height which is not good for this problem. Well, he changed some of my medicine around and started me on a new inhaler which I think is helpful already. He told me that I do need to loose weight but that it is not my fault that I got so heavy. I have been on steroids for years and he said of course that is what did it. He recommend that I take the Prednisone every other day and see if that is helpful in loosing weight, after checking with my kidney Doctor. At least he has given me some hope. I like him. Thanks for your concern. Sincerely, Colletti Anjillah@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 12, 2002 Report Share Posted September 12, 2002 Hi , I'm glad to hear things went so well with your new pulmonary doctor. Hopefully the new meds will be just what you need to start feeling better. It is frightening to have trouble breathing. Much love, Carol Re: [ ] /Louise Louise: Thank you for your kind words.
