Guest guest Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Thanks Carolyn...I am concerned about the pain issue. I've been on pain meds for a loooonnnggg time and so I have naturally built up a tolerance, which I discussed with Dr. He says I will need more pain meds. It must have been awful not to have any! I already have chronic pain and that has made me a big boo-hoo simpering wimp! Hope you are doing well!

I need some input...my tests are all in (the ones taken by the Dr. for a second opinion) they show no auto-immune problems, no allergies, nothing I'm breathing. Not this and not that.

He showed me the Cat-scan that confirms pf. More in left lung. He wants to do a thoracic lung bio. That's the biggie I'm so scared of. He wants to find out 'what' I have for certain and that is the best way. I'm in fairly good health now to do it. He wants to rule out I--pf so he can make a true dx. Those of you that have had this procedure please share with me your opinion..... I know we are all different an! d I know there has been previous posts about this but I can't remember who/what now. My pft shows some improvement in a couple areas and some decline in another. Thanks. Sher "Don't worry about tomorrow, God is already there" Want to start your own business? Learn how on Yahoo!

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Beth...thanks again for your post. I think I'm seeing a pretty consistent "I would do it again" going on. Which of course is the reason I may do this....for information that cannot be had any other way. I'm sure the procedure/recovery will give some nasty moments but I'm asking God for some mercy here! I've been through enough and I ain't anxious for a bigger dose! Thanks for prayer...all of you.
