Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Leanne, I'm not kidding, for the first year and a half or so I had pneumonia many times. The pulmo treating me is 400 miles and a $450.00 airline ticket away. He had an arrogant attitude toward the family practitioners we have here (some of which are excellent MDs.) To provide good local care the local docs tried to stay in contact with him.....but they hated to call him. So.....he was worried that they would be to stupid to catch PCP in time, and I'd die and ruin his afternoon. I think that is why he put me on it ....M-W-F. jim Leanne Storch wrote: Jim, When I went for the lung transplant work up they said that after transplant I would have to be on Bactrim MWF for the rest of my life to prevent PCP.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Well, the noise I made scared the moose and he ran straight into a tree, causing it to fall. Nobody heard it though, 'cause it's in Alaska. Mama-Sher, 69; IPF, 3-06, OR.Don't fret about tomorrow, God is already there!
