Guest guest Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Hello PJ Hi and thanks for the response. I have been feeling winded (SOB) more so lately (last two months) when I checked it I was winded enough to be a little light headed, and being three stories up on a cat walk not such a good thing. Lol. I walked to the mail box yesterday to check it again and again it dipped to 83 pulse 120 so I sat down and it took about 2 to 3 min to come up and pulse slow down. I call this my denial disease. When I first got my DX I said no way and went on my way for about 6 months then Finally went to Pulmo Doc then about a year later my stats started sliding and again I fought it and just kept going I finally slowed down a bit. The Doc talked me into prednisone so I did that dance for a year with nothing to show for it but about 50 lbs. I told the Doc no more and now I am down to 2 mg and will start on 1 mg tomorrow I have been on the board enough to know that I was starting to have o2 problems but ignored it. No not me. I guess I am talking to the doc next month about that. So here I am on the island waiting to deny my next step on my journey lol Take care Walt on Whidbey IPF,Nsip.Uip. 06 Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow.†Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Hi Walt,Gee your numbers scare me. Please take care of yourself . Maybe you better call your doctor with those numbers. I'm sure he would want to see you sooner.I've become lightheaded a few times in my life and ended up on the floor!
