Guest guest Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Hope all continues to go well. Glad he is home.. Hugs and Prayers continue Jolene (no subject) Well, after blood infections and bloody stools Phil came home yesterday. It was a quiet uneventful day except for a visit from one of our youngest church members who is 3 1/2 . She had a balloon and a flower for him and was so darn cute. The home nurse comes today to do his IV antibiotic, but otherwise he's feeling pretty good. Let's hope this boy behaves himself. We will be meeting with Dr. Rothman to plan the next phase. Thanks for all your prayers love and concern Narice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Hi Joy, I was diagnosed with PAH from an echo just over a year ago. I then had to have a heart cath, to confirm diagnosis, as the echo is just an indicator. After the results of the echo came back then they decided what meds to put me on, for me they chose sildenifil (viagra). I take this 3 times a day at 6 hour intervals. There are stronger meds if they feel I need them. My last echo (may) still showed some PAH, but I'll have to wait until I see the PH team in september before I know what they are going to do. It has made a difference, although it wasn't immediately apparent. Little things like I would be right behind Rob at the door, where before I would have been several yards behind him. I also found that I am able to walk for longer and my sats recovery rate is considerably quicker. The sildenifil isn't known to interact with other drugs so there was no problems there. Love Ze xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
