Guest guest Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Beth, I was late in reading this....so from Texas I am sending you a big ol' YEEEEEE HAAAAAWWWWW!!! These are the days we live for. " nearly normal " is Good. NO PAH is Fantastic!!! AS for the CTD, well, if it hasn't raised it's ugly head yet, why court trouble? I will pray that you never have a flare! Today, life is good. Hugs! Babs in Texas > > Hi everybody, > Just thought I'd share the good news I got today. I received the dictated note from Dr. on in which he said the echocardiogram I had two weeks ago is " nearly normal " with NO PULMONARY HYPERTENSION (YIPPEE!!!). The only issue is a " grade 2 relaxation abnormality suggesting left ventricular diastolic dysfunction " . I'm going to have to research that some more, I'm a few too many years out of nursing school to know the ramifications of that but the doctor is not terribly concerned so I'm not sweating it for the moment. > Dr. on feels I have an " as yet undifferentiated connective tissue disease " but given the stability of my overall condition he's not prescribing any treatment for now. Basically until it flares up and we can figure out what it is, there's not much to do. My bloodwork shows hints that something is going on, elevated c-reactive protein etc but nothing definitive sooo we wait. But while we wait, I LIVE MY LIFE!! > > Happy Friday night everybody! > > Beth in NC age 48 Fibrotic NSIP 06/06 > > " For as long as I shall live, I will testify to Love.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 MB...I read your post about the good news of no PH. I think I replied to you but maybe I didn't. If not, of course, I too am happy and glad at this news and I know you feel much relieved. A warm Mama hug! Mama-Sher, age 69. IPF 3-06, OR. Don't fret about tomorrow, God is already there!
