Guest guest Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 I believe I have progressed to another stage of this lung thing. I had to call 9 11, I couldnt catch a breath, it was the suffication that when I think of it takes me back to tears I was so scared? I have gone thru not catching my breath, usually I can concentrate on my body to calm? myself to a point where i can think out my breaths, even when ive gotten to the dizzy stage. but finally as it went on I knew if i didnt reach my front door i dont even know how the phone got to my hand or i could even see the numbers to call.........who cares thank God! they came and took me to emergency. they gave me a few things plus 60mg of prednisone.....I didnt want to take that any more, but if i knew how to care for me i probably wouldnt be in this state. The chest pains are more painful and constant as ever, they said theres nothing they could give me for that , it was my lungs dealing with theyre ordeal. lol. CMS finally okayed my services july 1.AND WOULDNT YOU KNOW IT i also recieved my birth certificate that social security admin said they mailed back to me QUOTE; "we send back all documents! we recieve them, copy them and return them promptly" -(I was there in Feb.w/documents they requested)they returned them june 30 my cms appt was june 20th because i had no birth cert. I was denied,it left me without medical care or medication i went to the ssa office on the june 20th as i needed to see the lung spiecalist-and asked them no i begged them to please look thru my file....they refused,ive had no medical until last night.

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 ... I can only imagine what the feeling of suffocation would be! Yes, it sounds awful and horrible. Let's hope that never happens again. Let us know what the Dr and specialist say. A big hug to you. MamaSher, age 69. IPF 3-06, OR./ NasturtiumsDon't fret about tomorrow, God is already there!
