Re: Flaring today Darlene ?

[Guest guest]

I just read your post and your right on everyone is off, it has to be the

weather. I have never been this bad, and did not think of it until recently why

I may think I have gotten worse but really haven't, just in a cylce because of

this bitter cold, snow,or terrible wind. Last yr I spent out at my daughters in

Ca. Nov- March and felt much better. I know the Fibro has taken over more parts

of my body but it has never been so bad with no let up. but what I am wondering

is you mention your breathing difficulty, and whether asthma or Fibro in upper

back. I to have used my inhaler the last couple days, have had chest

discomfort, and couple days ago thoug woke with severe severe pain in upper back

area, and near back rib cage. I always had the low back pain, and my spine had

been bothered, had at one time had to see a Pulmonary specialist, have a Cat

Scan as breathing was really tough, inhalers did not work, and I just could not

catch my breath. The test came back

except for the condition I have had for yrs. I had a pulmonary embolism back

in 87, and it caused scarring on the lung which was explained causes me to have

asthma at times, I am not a FT asthma person would you say. But I wonder if

you can tell me is this how your Fibro mid back episodes are. It gets scary to

me when I can't breathe as I sometimes catch myself starting the panic attack

thinking another PE, which believe me I lived that way for some few yrs after

having and had to have lung scan each time I brought it up to the Dr. they say

they have to do it just because, even though they feel it is not another.

Thanks for any lightening you can put on this.

because I may have missed my morning dose of Lyrica I am noticing it

more, but I'm more scared about taking an additional dose. So I'll use

my breakthru meds when I get back from my pulmonologist. I cannot tell

if the tightening in my chest is due to my asthma (likely) or the flare

in the mid-back (probable aggravator).

So for all of us who are flaring, do what you can to take it as easy as

possible. I think we are all running around right now on high-stress

mode so my solution is.....everyone eat some chocolate! And if you are

diabetic, then make it sugar-free jello chocolate pudding.......

Sharon,

It could be just a flare for you ***or*** you could be getting asthma

on a full-time basis (I didn't have it as a kid, it came on in my

40s....lol....lucky me, huh?). I could understand the fear of

another PE and all that stuff.

I do believe that some of mine is combo because once I take a

nebulizer breathing treatment, it eases up but not 100%. In fact, I

get to go do it again.....I opted for a nap and feel a little better

emotionally wise.

Please consider getting it checked out for your own piece of mind and

keep us posted!!! You are needed here too you know!

(((Hugs)))

Darlene thanyou for your response as I had just started myself getting

anxiety over this, as it is so uncomfortable to not be able to get or at least

feels like enogh air! I am almost certain though it is another cycle thing that

has been going on this last yr, this and other symptoms. Because I have been

pretty much house,couch bed bound so long I think it tonight just set the

anxiety in, because I use to be so hyper active and feared,but caught myself

thinking no activity, blood clot, but I have learned over the years to take

control of that anxiety because I don't ever want to experince a panic attack

again, they I can't handle. Thankyou so much for your concern and kind words.

I hope tonight gives you relief to feel better tomm.
