Re: National Jewish Hospital

[Guest guest]

Has anyone here been to National Jewish Hospital in Denver for their asthma? My pulmonologist said that is the next step because he doesn't know what else to do for my severe, unstable asthma. He has me on pretty much all of the main asthma medications. I really don't want to go to any hospital let alone one in another state, but I suppose if they will have the cure... The pulmo. really wants me off the prednisone but anytime he tried to taper me I would have a REALLY severe attack and end up having to go on a higher dose for a short time. He told me that NJH is the top pulmonary hospital in the US. Any info. is greatly appreciated. Thanks,

I have not had to even go to the local hospital as an "in" but I have had several trips to the ER. I hear that NJH is one of the best in asthma care. It isn't so much a cure as getting you stable. I don't think I would like having to go to another state either, but if it helps the asthma, go for it. It probably couldn't hurt to try. Take care, and let us know.

, thanks for the support. Today I go a call that my dr. has requested that I have a home health nurse coming to my house daily to monitor my O2 levels. I really don't think it is warranted, but I guess my pulmonologist is getting nervous for some reason. I am only 25. This stuff isn't supposed to happen until I'm old ;-)Bill and Canter wrote:

Hi , You're welcome,

I bet he is concerned that you level is too low. If your asthma is pretty bad then the O2 sat will be low. I know Matt could say more about this than I can but I have to use an O2 concentrator at night while I'm asleep. I don't stop breathing to warrant a CPAP but my breathing slows down and I don't breathe deeply enough sometimes. So my O2 levels drop some. I hope you feel better soon. Take care,

I had to sleep with a pulse oximeter a few months ago. My O2 levels did drop significantly and he wanted to prescribe supplemental oxygen, but again that seems to me like it is just for old people or sick people and I am not either one of those. I'm actually having more problems with my diabetes right now than the asthma. The asthma is pretty bad, but I have been dealing with it forever and it is just part of my life. The diabetes is driving me crazy with my numbers swinging all over the place. I am definitely looking forward to the day in the future that they find cures for all of these chronic ailments.

Honey if you need it use it. Oxygen and things like that are not just for old people. I know a couple of young people here in town that use it because of COPD. I understand how hard it is to have two monsters to deal with. I have diabetes too. So far my numbers are doing pretty well, but I know if my body decided to, that could change. Do what you must to take care of yourself. Have you thought that the stresses with your asthma could also be hurting your numbers. I know when I don't feel well my numbers creep up a little. You have to properly take care of your whole body, not just part of it. Take care, and let me know how you're doing.

I realize that the oxygen would probably not be too

big a deal but it is really not somewhere I want to

go. No doubt I will have to eventually, but I will

push myself as long as I can. That is just how I am. I

also avoid the hospital at all costs. The last time I

only ended up there after I passed out from low

oxygen. I think I try too hard to not let these

diseases affect my life and sometimes I go too far,

but so far it has always turned out ok.

I know. I do the same thing sometimes. I have pushed it with my back and knee at times and could barely move for days. I didn't want to have any more knee surgery but I can't take the pain anymore. Monday will be here befor I know it. Take care, and keep us informed on what is going on.
