Re: Late response to E

[Guest guest]

E, I have asked the doctor about the fever thing and I don't think they really believe me. Last year after my biopsy I had a raging infection in the surgery site. I had no fever at all and the only reason they believed me was because of the red lines going up my side! Once they saw them they put me on antibiotics intravenously and kept me in the hospital for the day. My personal belief is that our immune systems are too low for our "temperature controllers" to work. Anyway, I feel for you being stuck in the humidity. I do terrible in weather that is too hot, cold or humid and breathe so much better now that I live by the ocean. Take care and God bless-The other wrote: Hi , I was coughing and had a headache yesterday. I went to the doctor and thought she would want a chest x-ray. She said I had a sinus infection and put me on Levequin for 10 days. I did not have a fever either. Just to vent some more this heat, humidity and high dew points are awful. I live outside Chicago. I hate to feel I can't leave the house so I will probably go out anyway. E IPF 12/05denise randel <dnsrndl> wrote: Hi Jane, What

great news about your tests! Since I have had this disease I do not get fevers anymore no matter how sick I get ( I have no clue why and neither does the doctor). As soon as I start coughing up anything that isn't clear or white I take antibiotics and it has really kept me from ending up back at the hospital. I am not sure if anyone else has the fever problem. Take care and may God continue to bless you-pianolady_musicgirl <jjarrettoptilink (DOT) us> wrote: Hi I had my pulmonary doctor appointment today in Dalton. I had PFTs and he told me that my tests were the same as last year. (Thank you, Lord) I told him about coughing and bringing up green junk and he told me I needed an antibiotic. I told him that my primary care dr would only prescribe one if I had a fever. So my pulmonary doctor here in Dalton assures me that if I have problems I can come to see him and see if I need an antibiotic. Phew! It seems as if that was getting complicated for me since my primary dr is 25 miles away in Chattanooga. The doctor that I see now in Dalton is the one who put me on the vent in 2004. I also get to have another sleep study to see if my setting on the CPap needs changing. But he said I would have to be well for this so that i why I am on Avelox. Wow! Wasn't that exciting for Judy to get the call today. News such as that encourages me to try harder at

losing weight. I am getting close but these last few pounds are being stubborn. Thanks Peggy, for making sure all of our rooms are on the first floor. My husband called for me tonight up to the Marriott and they remembered that Mrs. called. I promise I will go up there and look at this place. Maybe will take some pictures with her digital. Time to go and take my new cough medicine. I want to get well right away because it is hard to have coughing and a stuffy nose and wear the mask.
