Guest guest Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 I think of when I hear this too so please be careful! Loosing is enough already! Subject: Re: my appointment..... Deanna This sounds like MY story. My lungs are my major problem with my lupus. I am diagnosed with severe " asthma " so as to shut me up! I take Vospire twice a day, use a steroid inhaler twice a day and take singulair at night. On top of all that, I still have to use my combivent rescue inhaler almost daily. I do know I came out with a collapsed lung! My little overnight stay turned into a chest tube and a week long stay at the Hospital Hotel. And a few cherished days in ICU. It was just peachy! Now, my lungs are even more fragile and I am even more short of breath. I have no idea what to tell you except to alter your physical activity to work in your favor. If you run out of breath, stop. And carry a rescue inhaler on your person everywhere you go. It will at least give you some relief. It worries me alot, especially after hearing of what happened to , but I don't think there is alot they can do but load us up with meds.
