Update

Went to my RA doctor a week ago and he heard me wheeze with and without the stethoscope, but chest x-ray was clear which is good so, no pneumonia. But I will see a pulmonary doctor tomorrow for the first time and I'm very nervous...Doctors do scare me and I hope he'll be patient with me and that I can get help with my breathing... My RA doctor did prescribe Xopenex nebulizer but I had an allergic reaction to the face mask. benadryl helped that... So that's why I've been away, not feeling good, my cough has gotten better but still feeling sick with congestion. I'm getting all my paperwork together for this new doctor I have my chest x-ray results from 2010 which shows the patch left basilar infiltrate (pneumonia)...
Just could use some good vibes and all for this new doctor and hope he can help me...
it's also a price appointment $214. but it's time and everyone say I need a lung doctor...Finger's crossed everyone!
Hope to be back soon...Prayers to everyone and stay strong, pain is hard but with the right doctor and right medicines that sure can help, many blessings...

Thanks for the update. Let us know how it goes tomorrow.

Prayers..

While I hate you have so much going on in your lungs, I'm glad it's not related to your autoimmune disease. I know you've told me this before, but you see a rheum for RA, correct? I didn't realize that both JRA and RA can hit our lungs so hard.

Take care of yourself and those lungs:)

I'm getting dizzy spells now, will try to rise slowly from my chair and end up falling back down into the chair. This might take a bit of recovery time!
