Went to Pul doc this a.m. and had thorough pul......

[Guest guest]

function test done and chest xray.....doc said xray looked

fine....no issues, and the pul func test was VERY good for a 60 yr

old...SO....I explained that I wanted Ige blood test(no other doc

ordered it) and he agreed that that test would indicate if there is

an infection(mold issue) that didn't show on the xray. I also

explained that my burning nose, throat etc has progressed past 2

weeks to MCS with HIGH degree of sensitivity (mainly burning

nose...throat...around items I posted in past. He then said that he

would recommena another test to " differentiate " if it was a lung

issue or an ALLERGY issue....that test is

called ............METHACHOLINE CHALLENGE TEST.....so I agreed to to

that one too, but in next post I'll add comments.

Barb, I applaud your efforts for " rehabilitation " ....you are a

very strong willed person and will win the battle ultimately!! My

prayers have been with you since I first started reading your posts

over 3 months ago! hqang in there.

My follow-up with my GI doc is next Tues....re: Endoscopy....he

will probably have bacterial results of burning throat cultures

back, but the FUNGAL panel for biopsies may take up to a a few more

weeks. IgE blood results should be back Monday, My stomach is still

compromised....food feels like BILE reflux rather than acid reflux,

where food kicks back up into esophagus(always heartburn). Wouldn't

it be something if all this throat eye burn was due to Pharyngitis

and post nasal drip with sinusitis and allergic nasal rhinitis!!

After being gone 8 hrs today, symptoms weren't so good, but got

back home and they got WORSE.....same old same old.... Steve
