Re: Little Problem

Maybe if someone could post the addresses of Oprah, Montel, The View, Dr. Phil. and all, more would be apt to send a messege regarding our disease. I know I would.

I sent emails to Jerry (who I was told had PF) but got no reply. Even a thank you for your email.

I have also tried to contact Dr Tim on ABC News but again no reply. So you just give up.

Thanks

Re: OverwhelmedI felt the same way for months after I was diagnosed. But just told my self(with the help of statements of my primary Dr. (not lung). That I was not goingto let this control my life at least what is left of it and while I'm notconfined to bed. I am doing what I want to do, be it a lot slower, but it isgetting done. I also have volunteered to work on committees who are trying toget our little island released from Portland Me and become it's own town. Boywhat a lot of mind and paper work that I can get buried in.What I still need to vent on is the lack of media interest in our little problemthat is killing almost as many as breast cancer. Yet look at the attention theyget. I guess I feel that I wish I had cancer and not this.

Hey, Everyone: Yes, we can email all the talk and news shows and try to get them to show some support for IPF or PF research. However, I assume each of us have a local newspaper that has a Dear Editors Column. If we all wrote "Dear Editor" and explained the disease and how it has affected our lives and the lives of our friends here on the internet, maybe that would at least start some local awareness as to the fact the disease even exists. I had my haircut yesterday and spent the time telling the fella cutting my hair about the disease and lack of research. No, it did not bore him, he was actually interested in hearing about it. Just a thought. Barb in KYDAVID ADAMS wrote: I sent emails to Jerry (who I was told had PF) but got no reply. Even a thank you for your email.

I am an morbidly obese female that has Severe Lung Disease

Drs. have a scasle of discription of patients according to their "size". I was considered "grotesquely obese" at one time. Boy did I take offense to that. I think I would have rather them tell me I was way too fat! lol There are other discriptions, I can't remember them right now....maybe because I never fit in that catagory...just the grotesquely and moved down to morbid. Wish there was a catagory for "pleasingly plump".

Hey, Lois: If your talking to me, here's what happened. When I saw my pulm dr. four months ago, he was suppose to got me in touch with the Jewish Hospital in Louisville, KY. I found out yesterday, while gathering medical records and such, that my pulm. dr. hasn't even started to do anything for me. Well, that jerk just wasted an additional four months of my life. Maybe the Lord led me to this dr. in Lexington. I kinda believe he did. I will know more after I see him. Wow, I tell ya, a person shouldn't look if they are afraid of what they might find. I looked through the written reports I had received from the hospital and the dr's, and to hear them tell it, I am an morbidly obese female that has Severe Lung Disease. On of the Dr.'s thought that the IPF was from some serious illness that I have that hasn't been found. I am not going to look at anymore Dr. reports. They are just too scarey.

Lord, they make it sound Like I am on deaths door. Today is day two of my quitting smoking goal. The commit lozenges really help quite a bit. One day at a time. If I can hold on for a week, I probably won't have anymore problem quitting. At least I hope. You all have a great weekend.

Barb; I am glad you found a good doc and that youare happy with him. I have trouble with the medical field here in Las Cruces NM so I do head for Denver Colo to National Jewish. they like to do the fund raising for themselves so maybe we could get some Ideas from them on who, and how. that is all i thought of. but God can use all of this to help any of us...

Barb,

I don't know how these guys sleep at night. I went through some horrible medical care in the course of my illness. Wrong diagnosis, wrong meds, etc. You really do have to manage your own healthcare. I am praying that the doc in Lexington will help you. Have your act together and show him that you are interested in living! I would think he would be impressed with the fact that you have stopped smoking. Just give it all you got. You can do it.

I am praying that you will prevail in your battle with tobacco. I know it must be sooooo difficult. My own mother smoked and could not stop. She was so ashamed of it that she would sneak away to smoke.....she died of emphysemia.

Hi you fluffy people,

I always told my grandkids that I was fluffy and fluffy grandmas were much better. I was 5'3" and 222 at the top of my prednisone weight. I began losing weight after I developed Bronchiectasis. I use up so much energy coughing and spitting that it must burn up calories. I am down to 157 now. Believe me it has not been worth it. I always thought the only way that I could lose weight was to be really sick....and it happened. It does not matter what I eat...I lose. It has happened a few pounds a month.

It is nearly impossible to lose weight while on prednisone. It is also difficult when you can barely shuffle around. I did lose a little weight in rehab, but very little.

Have you noticed how many food commercials are on t.v. plus all the cooking shows. I absolutly love to eat! Too bad it is so bad for us.

Joyce, Please-Please give me any extra weight you don't want. Not on prednisone. Took it for about 3 months my doctor said he found only helped if used during 1st year.I seem to have had my ipf for about 2 when we looked back on old x-rays. I have to take in 6,000 to 7,000 cal per day to maintain 132lbs. I'm so tired or trying to eat enough to survive. Believe me when I say I have cake and icecream twice a day. janne5303 wrote: Hi you fluffy people, I always told my grandkids that I was fluffy and fluffy grandmas were much better.

,

Were you ever heavy? How much 02 are you on. I read that our bodies use a lot of calories just trying to get oxygen out to our extremities. Our heart works harder and we breathe harder.

I still have a good appetite but like you, I get tired when I eat. I will sit down to a nice meal and about 1/3 way through, I am just exhausted and it is not even appealing anymore. My husband thinks I should get an infomercial "cough your way to a new slimmer you".

Hugs,

Joyce

Joyce I went from 142 to 102 when I finally got diagnosis. Not on O2.Dr feels if sat levels still in 90's last time I went no need.Went down real low 2 months ago, but that's when I walked out on him.Everyone thinks sat levels so high because I still work,remember phone operators run their mouths a lot.haha.I have been fluffy at 200 plus in the past but lost weight because of back pain.Like you I can't eat much at once maybe a childs portion, but I eat all the time even at work. I keep crackers with peanutbutter, candy bars etc in my pockets. janne5303 wrote: , Were you ever heavy? How much 02 are you on. I read that our bodies use a lot of

calories just trying to get oxygen out to our extremities. Our heart works harder and we breathe harder. I still have a good appetite but like you, I get tired when I eat. I will sit down to a nice meal and about 1/3 way through, I am just exhausted and it is not even appealing anymore. My husband thinks I should get an infomercial "cough your way to a new slimmer you".

Dr has me eating small meals throughout the day. Not just sit down and eat a complete meal as I become so full and have trouble breathing. Gonna bypass all that though, just to go to 's for cake & ice cream.

kiss kiss,
