I have questions

[Guest guest]

depressed,, to think this is my life. The life of a chronic

whinner.NO more dancing or running..I doubt if I could even ride a bike anymore,

and I certainly can't play the piano right now.. But, I didn't come here to

whine, and I'm sorry this is so long.

I don't mind you're whining and I really feel for you. I understand how bad

it feels to not be able to do the things you loved to do. Feel free to email

me directly if you want lydiajen@...

And to answer your question about Prozac, Yes, it is an SSRI.

Also, I have CFS. I do have Klonopin, but that is also because I suffer from

panic attacks. But it does help for sleeping too.

Can we talk about your sleep problems? My husband has sleep apnea

and has a c-pap machine/ What is a bi-pap? Is your machine

properly adjusted? If the airflow is not right, then it can't help

you. Good luck. We'll talk more soon, I hope. June

Good morning!

I have several questions maybe someone could give some insight on.

I had a treadmill stress test yesterday and during the exam I was told I have Atrial Fibrillation and was lacking oxygen to a muscle in my heart. After the test I was drawn a picture showing what was going on. The cardiologist wonders if I have a partially closed artery but doubted it because my cholesterol is extremely low. They are sending me for a nuclear scan of the heart. I said I wondered if the lack of oxygen is due to my ILD but he didn't say much. I am scheduled for a CAT Scan of the lungs on the 28th. I am very excited about that since my ILD was diagnosed about a year ago from a chest x-ray. I am having some chest and back discomfort. My questions I guess are more that I would like your thinking on this. I would be humbly grateful for your comments!!! Thanks, Ken R.

PS Someday I'll know enough to return the favor
