Weight Report

[Guest guest]

I just wanted to let you guys know that the weight report will be late this week. I will

probably just put two out NEXT weekend. I'm sorry. I've been sick again. Last Sun,

Mon, and Tues I felt a lot better. I thought things were turning around for me. Wed

and Thursday were horrible again. Friday I was trying to help my friend Amy make

baskets for Christmas and I couldn't breath. I tried to sleep that night and I couldn't

because I felt like I was suffocating. So I went to the ER. The ER doctor told me

that my oxygen level was 99% and my lungs sounded fine and my BP was fine. So

I'm like WHY do I feel like I'm suffocating? He said it doesn't sound as if I have

Reactive Airway Disease or COPD. He said I should get a 2nd opinion. He said my

symptoms seem to come and go and that rules our RAD and COPD. That made me

feel better but it still didn't answer what the heck is wrong with me. He gave me a

shot of Adivant (sp) because he thought that maybe I was having anxiety

or a panic attacks. Okay....I've been having these symptoms since October 1. Am I

having just one long panic attack or anxiety attack? I doubt it! After the shot kicked

in I just felt drowsy. My breathing was a little better but not much but I really didn't

care because I started to feel drunk. He prescriped Xanex. I don't really think I need

Xanex BUT I took it Saturday and was drunk all day and I still had the breathing problems but I just didn't care. So....I basically got no help from the ER.

I found a Pulmonary doctor and I'm going to make an appointment tomorrow. If he

can't figure out what's wrong with my breathing then no one can. This is the most

depressing and miserable feeling to not be able to breath. I haven't walked in three

weeks. I wrap a present or walk up the stairs and I feel out of breath.

I have no energy and my chest hurts from trying to take a deep breath. I hate

to keep complaining about it but it's really, really scaring me. I want to know why I

can't breath at 29 years old when my lung xray's are normal I'm taking inhalers!?!?

Thanks for listening. I am sorry the weight report will be late. I will be back online

on Thursday. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.

Merry CHRISTmas! Merry CHRISTmas!
