: coughing

[Guest guest]

HI Everyone

I know that I don't write very much, but I read all the posts that

are sent. I have a question? I have been coughing alot. Well it

seems alot to me but I spit up too. What happens is that my throst

gets scratchy then I cough then sneeze. I don't know if this is

because of the PF or an allergie (spelled wrong) I take benedril,

that helps alittle, but makes me sleepy. I don't take any pills for

the PF, my doctor says NO predisone, because of the side effects, so

I use inhalers. But because of going to the county hospital, I still

really haven't sat sown with anybody that will tell me anything.

For instance, I went to the clinis last week, well it was so busy,

that I never got to see the Dr. I was suppose to see, the the head

of the Dept. had to work so I so her. She listened my lungs and

said Your lungs sound good for what you have. Now really how does

what she said help me. I know if I had the money, I would br able

to go to a regular Dr. Someone that would know ME. I didn't even

get the results of the CT Scan they did. OH!!! this is good, I hada

PFT Test taken. Her I'm expectling her to really tell me about this

test. She looked at the test results and said . This is right

considering what you have. I was dumb founded. IU know I wanted to

ask questions but I didn't even get a chance to. As far as the Meds

go, she just asked me what I was takinbg. I know I don't have a

money or insurance, but please you would think they would go over

things with you. But she said come back in 6 months and gave me the

meds to last that long. Now the nurse told me that I would see

another Dr. the next time I come a Dr. Patel. The problem I think

they not going to do anything until I come to the hsopital on a

stretcher. Oh!! this is a charm, Trying to get a Med Card so the

Hospital and Dr. will get paid. I was told by the welfare dept that

first I'm not disabled enough and my husband gets to much for his

disablitiy. I told her that I was waiting to her from SS. She said

when I do I have to re-apply. So I gave the infor to the hsopital

and now we are waiting to here something. Infact the lady from the

hopsital (I had to complain because she would never return my phone

calls) You would think with the money that I owe the hospital, they

would be johnny on the spot and find out what is going on. Now I

have been coughing and my head is stuff up. it sounds like allergies

and taking the meds make me sleepy. MY side bothers me, but that

still happens where I had the bio done. Sometimes it hurts right

under my right breast and on the side the cut for the bio was made

right where your the side of your bra is.Like noe my whole side is

uncomfortable. I am tired all the time and I fall asleep on the

couch, I never did that. But I guess that's waht happens with this

disease. I am bored to death being in this house, but it has been

to hot out to walk around. When I did, it really done me in. When

if anybdy could help me with the cough thing I would appreciate it.

Thanks Carol Sue 3/07PF

Carol Sue,

I can't believe anyone in America can get such shoddy medical care, but I know this is true. I don't know what the answer is. I see worse problems in countries where medicine is socialized. But, to treat a patient with a terminal illness like they are worthless is unforgivable.

First of all, the gunk that you are spitting up could be from your sinus or lungs. But, regardless it needs to be out of your body. It is breeding grounds for bacteria. If you had a doctor, I would ask him about Bronchiectasis which is common to advanced PF. You should probably be on allergy meds or at least nebulizers. The inhalers will help too. After you use them is a good time to try emptying out (coughing).

You will be in my prayers. Please keep us informed. If you have a temperature....get to a doc or if necessary a hospital....with drainage, it can become pneumonia quickly if allowed to lay around in your lungs.

Dear Carol,

My heart goes out to you and all your problems. I was

feeling a little down since one of my doctors told me

I probably only have a year to live. But I know my

life does not depend just on the doctors.

I wish there was something constructive I could do but

I will keep you in my prayers. It is very frustrating

but I try to do something worthwhile every day. It

does not have to be much but something.

Keep after the government. Just keep reapplying until

they take you. I do wish you well.

I read your post to Carol and wanted to add something. Dont put alot of stock in what the doctors say about how long you are going to live. I was told so many times that I was going to die...one time they said 2 years, then 1 year, then 6 months, then probably 48 hours. Well...they were wrong! I am alive and doing better than expected. I know longer live each day wondering if I am going to die today....I just live for today.

Doctors dont know everything! I am proof.

Re: : coughing

Dear Carol, My heart goes out to you and all your problems. I wasfeeling a little down since one of my doctors told meI probably only have a year to live. But I know mylife does not depend just on the doctors. I wish there was something constructive I could do butI will keep you in my prayers. It is very frustratingbut I try to do something worthwhile every day. Itdoes not have to be much but something. Keep after the government. Just keep reapplying untilthey take you. I do wish you well.
