Guest guest Posted September 25, 2001 Report Share Posted September 25, 2001 I complained of this one time (not breathing well,) and my PCP did the finger test and mine was also very, very low. Had to go in for...................god, I can't think of anything right now. Fibro fog is bad........anyway, it was all the breathing tests.

W >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I had a pulmonary function test after the finger test but they have not done the blood gases. My blood oxygen level goes up and down, down when I'm in a flare. Normal went I'm not. I use oxygen occasionally now. I have been on it 24 7 at times. My pulmonary Function test stayed the same. I understand that I have permanent damage but when I'm not in a flare I do pretty well. I can't dance anymore or run but I can get around pretty normally.
