Re: to Joanne re breathing.

[Guest guest]

I'm sorry to hear you have trouble breathing. Please do all possible to

find out the reason. The only time I had trouble breathing was due to the

pain in the breastbone. It felt like I was having a heart attach and I was

terrified to even mention it to my doctor. It was Tse Tse's (I think the

spelling is ok) disease. It's one of those one in few million, but people

with lupus are more prone of getting it. It's the inflammation of the joints

that connect the breastbone. What's worse is that poking actually makes it

worse and I couldn't help but poke trying to see if I can feel a lump or

something there that was causing the pain with every breath. I almost

laughed when the doctor said " take a few Tylenols and don't touch it " . It

will pass in a few days. It did.

Good luck and hope you start feeling better soon.
