Dries me up. Helps to some extent.

I seem to aspirate more after a lung infection. The fluid in my lung now is all

from aspiration. I'll swallow and in the next minute my lung is rattling again.

The only thing I can think is that my swallowing muscles weaken when I'm sick

and than take awhile to strengthen back up.

Anyone experience this?

I have experienced that, but thank gods, not this time. I can't take

anything to dry this up more- it's so damn dry and I'm pounding the

fluids. Looks like I'm gonna be doing the nebs every four hours, at

least tonight.æ

Yes, it's saved me many times (including this current infection-now resolving).

My doctor gives muey an emergency prescription to let me use at my own

discretion as I need to start it right away. After you have recovered from

this, maybe you can ask your doctor about doing the same.

My dr won;t do that and it's really frustrating to me since it isn't always

a helpful dr on call and it's not like I can " wait until Monday " . I

actually plan to switch drs because it pisses me off! speaking of that, I

have been trying to find a new dr but it is freaking impossible to find one

that has ever even heard of sma. Pretty scary. Does anyone know if there is

any sort of list somewhere of drs that know about sma? I feel like the best

I can do is find a dr who will cooperate and do what I say but really I am

just having to be my own dr.

I am without a GP also. I have know idea how to find someone just to

do the basics. Plus I am really TERRIBLE at explaining sma so someone

who already knows would be lovely. Any ideas??

It scares me how much everyone here knows about lung health

etc.......... It kinda seems like everyone is their own dr. I did not

attend med school.

,

I know there is a dad of a girl with SMA 1 who keeps an ongoing list of

SMAers and the Drs they see and recommend. Not sure there are many adults on

the

list tho. He categorizes them by state. I might have one of the copies he

sent. Would you like me to find it and send it to you?

Your local hospital may have a physician referral line. You tell them what

type of doctor you are looking for and what type of insurance you have and

they do a search for you.

When I start with a new doctor, I normally bring them some written material

(from the net) about SMA so they will at least have a vague idea of what SMA

is. I am thinking about changing PCPs so I am putting together a written

medical history and list of my current medications to give to the new doctor.

I am without a GP also. I have know idea how to find someone just to

do the basics. Plus I am really TERRIBLE at explaining sma so someone

who already knows would be lovely. Any ideas??

It scares me how much everyone here knows about lung health

etc......... . It kinda seems like everyone is their own dr. I did not

attend med school.

I know there is a dad of a girl with SMA 1 who keeps an ongoing list of

SMAers and the Drs they see and recommend. Not sure there are many adults on

the

list tho. He categorizes them by state. I might have one of the copies he

sent. Would you like me to find it and send it to you?

I also have a list of meds and the contact info for all my Drs. Since I

have nursing I already needed this. I use the computer to keep the summaries

of

changes since bringing all the nurses notes is impossible, but my calendar

is still a little pocket one. It's falling apart by Nov, but it serves its

purpose. You aren't the only one not using a PDA .
