Guest guest Posted December 19, 2001 Report Share Posted December 19, 2001 Hi all! I also love reading all your posts. You guys make me smile every morning! Anyway, I went to the pulminologist yesterday and I liked him very much. He said he doesn't believe that I have asthma at all, just the RP. Since I have been on the pred (15 mg.) I haven't had any problems at all. Thankfully I don't have any permanent damage to my lungs; the breathing test was normal since I have been on the pred! Hurrah! Anyway, he lectured me on the need to stay on the medications as when RP attacks the bronchial tree and does damage, it is very bad. He even said something about, " You might want to stop the pred if you gain weight or your face gets round... " I could have laughed as I have already started to gain weight... Does anyone else have advice on that? I think it must be water at this point? I hope.. Anway, that's all for me now. I love hearing about you guys as well. Oh yeah, I am ALMOST done with my Christmas shopping ;-) Kathleen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
