well, went to the doc,
ended up seeing a PA cause the doc was delivering a baby, second
one today.

did a urine pg test just to make sure.
neg
oximeter was 98
bp was high for me but then again i did a neb treatment 2 hours
before going
she heard me wheezing, i couldn't tell that.
all i know is short of breath
and they say that my vocal cords could be stuck and making me feel
like it is swollen shut or something, not sure what i believe.

did a spirometer, that was ok,
xrays, ok
well, now i get to see a pulmonologist, not sure what they can do
for me.
i just want to get thru the next two weeks of ragweed and goldenrod
season and not sure if i want to be pg or not?? last time or i should
say the first time, horrid asthma attack, hole in my lung and 8 days
in the hospital, just doesn't fit into my life right now but we will
see what HP brings. i guess.

anyways,
hope everyone else is feeling better.

what i was thinking that i wasn't taking my nexum/generic
stuff soon enough and that was what is bothering me.

i get a sore throat from GERD, esp if i eat 3 hours before bed.
and they said that my vocal cords could be bothering me...????
and i know that that can aggravate my asthma too

but why would i still be wheezing being on prednisone? that is the
weird thing

i will call the ENT tomorrow and see what they say.
the bad thing is i weight 7 lbs more than a week or so ago and i
know i am eating wrong and i think i am emotional eating or something, all
sweets, ice cream. could be the prednisone or my depression

she gave me more prednisone, for next 3 days though
so am taking like 40 mg a day for the next few days and neb treatments
every 4 hours or less

yes, breathing is nothing to fool around with.
after i almost died at 37, my husband freaked and now knows what can
happen,
though not sure if he realizes that could happen to the kids and i NEED him
to smoke outside badly

i have air cleaners running but not the same
the humidity again is 94% with 51 degrees now

I kind of dread going to see a pulmonary doctor cause i know blood gases are
not fun
they take a needle and go into your wrist with it

i guess the other reason is the fact that i won't get in soon when here i
am suffering as it is with wheezing and short of breath, just don't want to
end up in the hospital when i have 3 kids to take care of, etc, mostly, if
it
weren't for that i would go for it and i also go downhill fast too

just pray that things go positively.

i guess we all always want to know what is really wrong with us, per say
and gets frustrated when we can't find out.

i also been having problems with my depression.
i want to cry so badly. i am just so sick of being sick that the only thing
is if i cry it can be a good thing, a release, though on the other hand it
can exastrebate my h/a's too so...catch 22 there.
i just got back on 25mg of nortriptaline so hopefully that will help.
thank you for being here, all of you, i do feel the love and i would do
anything for you all if i could
Melissa/WI
