Guest guest Posted November 12, 2001 Report Share Posted November 12, 2001 Hello, My mom wanted me to ask this question and I think that we have asked and it has been answered, but here it is. My mom was on 80 mgs of prednison and 150 mgs. of cytoxan. She was put on 160 mgs. of pred. for a day or two and dropped back to 80 mgs. She has now been dropped from 80 mgs. to 60 mgs. of prednisone. This is good of course but she is experiencing this breathlessness again. She is congested and is on some antibiotic. All of her doctors are aware of her breathlessness. So is she to live with this, is this normal or what else could be done? She is now waiting her 30 days to find out what social security disability decided. Thank you for your advice. I believe that if she is denied this go around, we will check out an attorney. I personally am curious to see if there are any others with R.P. in Montana, North Dakota or Wyoming? I think it would be helpful to know who their doctors are. Also, Dr. Bunker from Seattle sent a questionaire to my mom. she was pleased, but does anyone know what they are looking for exactly. I mean, what do they suspect causes R.P. What does everyone here have in common? They say it is not heriditary. How do they know? I would like to read the transcript for this research. What do you all think? Thank you all.
