Guest guest Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 I hope she's not sick. She was doing a lot of traveling, remember to see in Az. So I hope she didn't over do it. Or if she is traveling where her Bibles went to....oops hope she got them. Love and Prayers, PeggyIPF 2004, Florida"Worry looks around, Sorry looks back, Faith looks up."

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 You know, Kathie.......coincidently I heard just yesterday on the radio (they say it every day but I never pay attention)...........sunrise, 6:36am....sunset, 10:26pm....this will be my 24th summer and I never tire of the midnite sun..........jimKathie wrote: Joyce, I will try writing and sending this again (space monkeys). I think you are absolutely right, I think that if the docs tested enough and researched more at least 90% of us would find our pf is tied to an autoimmune disease. Unfortunately most of our docs don't that the time or the training. Because of this often when they find the autoimmune disorder there is little they can do to heal it.Jim, I guess that means you are lucky. Good news/bad news? It may be something 'NEW' but it may be treatable. I hope that that is the case for you, Jim. Should be getting some nice long days up there. I spent some time in the Matanuska Valley, they grew lots of "stuff" back then.Hoping for sunny skies for you both.Kathie WAnsip '96, PAH '03, Bronchiectasis '05> >> > Who'd a thought..............if you remember, I wrote about a week ago> asking for input regarding a sleep disturbance, as in hitting my wife> during violent dreams......well, still not solved but as part of seeking> answers the doc checked my thyroid via a blood draw.> Result.......hypothyroid, big time.

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 Kathie..........I'm sorry you feel so poorly. In my experience it's been the sick body that makes me feel so bad. I firmly believe in the mind/body connection, maybe that played a part in the pneumonia or infections or whatever, but it was ALWAYS the case......when the antibiotics did their magic, the head (depression,etc) always improved dramatically. Hope it works for you. Question.....did you fly to Phoenix? And did the doc say why "no planes for you"? jim Kathie wrote: Sher, My trip to Az.? My time there was wonderful. My trip home was a nightmare. i was home five days, got sick, was diagnosed with pneumonia for the 3rd time in a year. Came off 2 weeks of antibiotics and increased pred doseage, feeling fair but ready to go to San , have had tix for months but doc says no planes for you. We don't know yet if this is permanent deterioration or it is just taking a very long time to heal. I feel like crap, i don't know if it is my head making my body feel like this or it is my body making my feel like crap. My therapist says it doesn't matter, you still feel like crap! lol Trying a new antidepressant and trying to live smart. I didn't know a date/time had been set but Ithink we can be there. We only live 30 -45 minutes from Olympia. I don't remember Armede but I didn't join until March of 07 and didn't post until long after that.Kathe,WANSIP '96> > > >> > > > Gwynnie....yes, I went on the interview this morning to > return to> > > volunteer work I have done previously.
