[breathe-Supp! ort] Pulm. Visit

I went to my pulm. yesterday. Sats were 82, even though I use oxygen continuously. Am having a real difficulty now with getting in and out of chairs, doing simple things in the house. I just get so out of breath. The Dr. said the increased SOB is because of my pulmonary hypertension, which is worsening. There is a new med. for it but Cigna does not approve it and therefore I have to pay privately. I am going to do that for a while. But I wonder what is the use? My dr. told me yesterday that he knows of nothing else that can be done and that I need to start accepting things. He said that with a terminal illness, I should expect to get worse instead of hoping. He said the time for hope is over now and that maybe I need to see a therapist to help me through this. He then wanted to write me a script for Zoloft to "help". He did say that I would probably need to think about going into the hospital again soon, to drain some of the fluid out of me. I have already done that but it just comes back. I read that with the hypertension, that your legs cana get very large and heavy. And that is what is happening. Also having a problem with my portable oxygen. Since I am now on liquid oxygen, the tank I havae to carry is so heavy that it takes all my energy to carry it. Evidently the office called the supplier and I just got a call from them stating that Cigna does not authorize the really small one. I am calling Cigna. I know I sound depressed in this post. I know I am discouraged. Really really tired of everything. Tired of the tube in my nose, tired of calculating what I can do because of limited breath, tired of sitting. Just tired. Tired of being told that I have lived longer than most people with my disease.I dont know how to be a sick person.Thanks for listening.

Gee, sounds like your Dr. is a bit insensitive the way he spoke to you.

I do understand just plain being sick and tired of being sick and tired. I've felt that way too.

Right now, I'm doing better but I'm sorry you are having sick and tired days.

I thought your oxygen supplier would find you something that works for you since your tank is so heavy. Yeah, maybe calling them yourself will help you.

I pray for your solutions.

Well as to higher levels of o2 i will find out this week as i am retiring R2D2 that can only go to 5 LPM and getting a brand new shinny concentrator R2D2 the 2nd that will go to 10 LPM.

Peggy,

When I did my tx evaluation, the doc said that I would have to do one when I got home, but then I was rejected. I know what I should do, but that just creeps me out. One of my very best friends has had colorectal cancer. She is three years out and preaches to me. I am just so tired of all the humiliating medical procedures.

Please do not apologise . Those are my sentiments exactly!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for expressing what has been in my heart and I'm sure many other's. None of us have this coming, and then add the rude arse MD's, incompetent Pulmos and blood sucking HMO's. The family members who cant cope, the loved ones who damn me at the thought of me leaving them, the friends who disappear, the strangers that feel its their duty to make sure I know I'm not entitled to their even holding the door for me because they assume I'm on a tank because I smoked. People who refuse to look me in the eye because all they see is their own mortality in front of them.

And my NOSE HURTS!!!!!!!!!

People who refuse to look me in the eye because all they see is their own mortality in front of them.

Hugs, Joyce PF 1997 Bronchiectasis INDIANA p.s. my teenage grandsons get a charge out of me because I use this word rather than say the other 'bad' word. They tell me, "Mamaw, it is still a curse word"....If they would pull thier jeans up over thier 'arse', it would be a mute point!

Hi , I'm joining in with your sentiments, speaking for my husband because those are precisely the words he uses!! Sometimes the nose bleeds, a little. He's fed up with, at times, having such difficulty with breathing. And... the pulmonologist thinks he should go ahead with the aorta aneurism operation, 50/50 chance, does not know how long he'll be on the ventilator. But we all have decided to let it ride. I don't go on the computer that often, and I'm a rather passive contributor, but I do receive so much from you"active" ones; some of your messages and contributions are beautiful! And I've learned so much! I'm glad Vicky is home again. Carolyn and , you're so calm, most of the times, Sher and Ginger, your thoughts are beautiful.
