Guest guest Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Sher, Bruce, Beth, K, Kathie, Joy, Joyce and all interested. The board seems to have raised more questions today than I can grasp, so I'll add my own. Saw my Tacoma pulmonologist today. back on imuran my sats seem to have stabilized and pursed lip breathing some one on this board and my oximeter seems to help me control them. However I had a fever and my shakes/tremors were noticeably worse. He called my pcp and I was able to slip in late this afternoon and have sinus, ear, and throat infections. Strong antibiotics prescribed of course and even though I had seen my pcp just 2 weeks ago she also knew the shaking was worse so between the 2 doctors I now also have a clinical daignosis of Parkinson, and on a full course of drugs for that. The pcp was concerned about our cruise but I told her I was going hell or high water. I've been given some pre surgery type drugs so I can sleep again and be able(concious) to drive my three wheeler and click a camera. The levadopa should control the Parkinsons in a couple days. So life is still basically good compared to the alternative. We all have to try to keep ourselves and air family up.
