Cary: Thanks for your information but I am an RN and I know what Atlectasis

is plus I have been dealing with it for about the past 7 years. There is

really nothing that can be done except loose weight which is impossible since I

am

and still have to be on prednisone.

Thanks for your response.

Hi

What does the doc say caused the atelectasis? Just weight, or something

else? I'm just curious, because I've only seen it in post-op patients, I've

never

had a patient who had it chronically like you do. How miserable...

Thanks for answering! Cary
