Re: Re: meds, oxygen and prednisone....

[Guest guest]

I read you Stefani.... I'm either fighting the problem or the side effects of the meds to fight the problem. I get the muscle stuff from statins too and on and on.

I've never taken prednisone except for short term. Even when I was pretty sick just a short time ago, I wouldn't take it. I'm scared of that stuff!

I have drug interactions with nearly everything. Except Cymbalta for depression! Now that little baby works and I feel better!

I THINK I welcomed you and your hubby but in case not...WELCOME!

Hi Sher> > > Sorry to hear you have been so sick. I did notice that you hadn't been posting and I mentioned it to my wife, but we have had my son, DIL, and 2 grandkids (2 & 5 yrs. old),> with us for the last 12 days and I haven't been on the computer other that 10 minutes, 3 different days. My butt is dragging trying to be involved in the activities and I do feel very tired all the time----only three more days and they will be going back to Olympia, Wa.> > My last visit to the Dr. (April 6th) I did my PFTs and everything is exactly the same except for my DLCO---it has dropped from 55% down to 49%. In the last 10 months it has dropped from 68% to 49%, so needless to say it is starting to make me nervous. > > What has been going on with you? You have usually been the "rock" of the group? Hope everything is OK and we can contribute it to the weather? I did hear you talking about going to the U of W medical hospital for an evaluation? I just talked to my Dr about checking at the U of W for a transplant evaluation, so I may go there also, but I don't know when.> Tell Rich hi and hopefully I will be making the trip up to Washington again and I can meet up with you guys again. > Hope you get better and back to posting!!!!!!!!!> G.
