Are you cured of being female by a hysterectomy? Do you stop breathing when

you get a tracheostomy?

Maybe it isn't too late for you to go Christmas shopping for a new dr... one

who maybe knows what he's talking about!

For those of you who may have benefitted from my advice from time to time, I

must set the matter straight. I think much better for other people than I do

for myself!

Welcome Walt, This is a great support group. This time of night there are usually people from around the world chatting. I'm just suffering insomnia again and I have some tests tomorrow starting early so will turn in now so I don't bite the techs heads off in the morn. Just kidding. It will be good getting to know you as the time goes by. I'm lucky, no oxygen yet but have other problems handicapping me. Just off work for 1 year but not what I expected for early retirement. Anyway I ramble and will talk again soon.Steve59 from WA IPF 2006

I am new here . Thank you for letting me join . I have known I have had this since 2004 . And finely quit smoking in 2005 . I was doing fine with it till I caught some kind of virus in California . I was driving to Connect and almost passed out on Donner Pass . And made it to Reno NV . I sent 9 days in the hospital there and had to drive home from there . I left there with a Oxygen Machine I am hoping to get off this thing But it looks doubtful I have to see my other DR in May I hope he can get me off this . I did spend some time in the Philippines and My breathing was so much better I hope I have the Option to go back without the oxygen .I feel I know why I felt better there , The food is not full of chemicals . The air is a lot cleaner and I was in a small town . I also noticed that the Children were very respectful and more normal then here , I think what they are putting in our food is Killing us , Thank you for your time .W

Walt,

Welcome to the board! Sorry you have reason to be here but I hope you will find the information and support valuable! I've been on oxygen 24/7 since June of 06. It's inconvenient but it's why I'm still alive so I've adjusted to it. It's my "new normal".

Do you know which form of pulmonary fibrosis you actually have? Just curious. There are many of us here and we have a wide variety of diagnosis.

Glad you decided to join us! Welcome aboard!

Hi again Beth, Iam new too except for the other day when i wrote that i had ph. I will only bore you guys once i promise. I was diagnoised with tb when i was 23 and whent through treatment . I was never bother again then when i was thirty five i was diagnoised with asthma and a severe allergy to dust mites. Taking nebs and things till forty plus then we lost our insurance and in 98-now i have been limited to just taking what i could afford. no doctor to see because of money. I have been seeing primary who keep telling me high blood pressure was due to meds. Now for three or four years i got worse and could not walk kept looking puffy even though i went down in pounds, without stopping every couple of feet and had to do everthing being tired and leaning on my left side even to do the dishes SOOOOOOOOO in feb. I got my usually sinus antibiotic and within a week was in the er with pulmonary edema. Oh i also thought i had gerds so i started taking handfuls of tums

and 3 packs of alkaselter which i think really top the cake. I left the hospital at 183 and now iam down to 148. I can walk up the stairs all at once without stopping, i can stand up straight and only suffer with the muscle pain from being stoop over which is starting to go away. I can sleep laying down again, and I can take a deep breath and lower my o2. I have started to walk my treadmill which the drs. said to do and left some weights. I hook up my tubing and go all the way in my yard to do some yard work with my grandson. the only med iam on is cozaar and lasix and sinthroid.I have read about the other meds for this but i cannot afford testing or the high prices of these meds. I am trying to get il state insurance which will cost 600 a month which i dont know how we can afford it. I cant get disability because i didnt work enough and they say my husband makes too much (37,000 a year doesnt go far) so i cant get medicaid so iam screwed. I feel more energy than i

have for three years and all i can think about is when the good will go and the worse comes. My sister in law that is a nurse read my reports and said she saw mild in everything and just do what this heart doc which will see me because of her, said to do and quiet thinking because the stress will kill me first.After reading what the effects of meds does i dont want them.

My brother in law who is a criminal lawyer here in Chicago sat outside my mother-in -laws surgical room and let them know that he would not accept any type of mistreatment of her.Thanks for letting me talk because my familyis so scared that everyday the just watch and my one son who now wont' move on because of this comments on how i can walk around breath and sleep flat so i cant talk about mf fears. i need to because iam putting more energy into the bad fears instead of enjoying my

Thank you for all your responses . I live in Baltimore MD . I think I have Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis ,They say I have other things going on . too . I am happy to meet everyone . And like all of you wish we could meet somewhere else , Wish i could join that run . I might have my own run . Like to the bathroom . My God I never thought I would be in this shape . But you have to keep plugging along . Steve from WA I had the pleasure of driving through your Beautiful State . If I can get better to travel ? My plan is to try and go to a place called Grants Pass witch is in Or . But I want to take a Train and see people I have met through the years . Go up to Buffalo and visit relatives . just relax . I hope to do it without Oxygen . I don't know what everyone else did for a living . But I used to drive a truck . Never wanted one . But wound up with one . Any way if anyone from out west is in Reno NV and if you ever need a Hospital go to Renown . What a

wonderful place To make a long story short I was in there for 9 days 4 in ICU and I was sitting in my privet room with my Mountain view and after 7 days someone Finley came in a asked me if I had Health Insurance , I got treated like I was someone famous form the ambulance ride to the exit door . It was amazing . I could go on and on . God Bless everyone and Happy to meet you all . Walt Beth wrote: Walt, Welcome to the board!

Med's are good to get you over the hump ? But they don't cure anything . I spent 2 months out of the country and the food was just wonderful . I think they are killing us with all the junk they add to it . Losing the weight had a lot to do with you feeling better . I know I used to get to a point ware it was just uncomfortable . I'm not a medical person or anything . But when I was working I was on the road a lot and it is very hard to find anything that doesn't have to much fat or salt in it . I stay away from the red meat and just that makes me feel better . The health ins in this country needs to be fixed . But the government are not the people to fix it . They got everything else messed up , Just to count us it will cost 14 Billion to count 300 million People How much you think it will cost them to hand out a some kind of pill IM happy you are feeling better just eat what they gave you in the hospital . sharon prendergast

Walt....welcome to our group. Since you share our disease this is the best place to be! Nearly always an answer to any question.

Looks like there is another Walt....I haven't read those posts yet but after your signature be sure and write your diagnosis and date of, and the state where you live. Helps to keep people sorted out.

I'm in Oregon and well familiar w/Donnor Pass.

What type of "oxygen machine" are you on? Are you under the care of a pulmonologist?

Keep reading and posting, we'll get acquainted in time.

Walt... now that I've read more posts I see you and "Walter S" are the same person.

I picked up on you wanting to go to Grants Pass OR. I live in OR right off the I-5 Corridor 25 miles south of Portland. Love it! Oregon and Washington are both beautiful states. I hope you can travel soon and go where you want to. I love taking Amtrak but for my husband and I those sleeper cars are pretty cramped.

The dining car was 6! 6 cars ahead of us...a hard trek for me 3 X a day. And that was when I wasn't diagnosed yet. We went from Portland OR to Birmingham AL. and all the changes.

Glad to have you with us.

Sharon,

You can "babble" on and on to us anytime. This is what we are here for. It is so difficult when you can't express your fears. We try to protect everyone around us and it leaves us with lots of bottled up emotion. We all unload here, and it is perfectly fine to do so.

Hopefully, we can help you in some way.

Walt,

You are very blessed to have had a "good" hospital experience. I have had lots of experiences....none of them good. I knew that there had to be a good one somewhere on the planet.

to Connect and almost passed out on Donner Pass . And made it to Reno

NV . I sent 9 days in the hospital there and had to drive home from

there . I left there with a Oxygen Machine

I am hoping to get off this thing But it looks doubtful I have to see

my other DR in May I hope he can get me off this . I did spend some

time in the Philippines and My breathing was so much better I hope I

have the Option to go back without the oxygen .I feel I know why I felt

better there , The food is not full of chemicals . The air is a lot

cleaner and I was in a small town . I also noticed that the Children

were very respectful and more normal then here , I think what they are

putting in our food is Killing us , Thank you for your time .W
