air hunger

[Guest guest]

Evan always had intermittent chest/rib pain and aches due to the Lyme etc. now a

new flavor-since beginning the IV roceph plus zithro-

-6-8 hrs post infusion he experiences severe air hunger--( hard to breathe,

sense of less oxygen although I have an asthma meter and he is getting a decent

flow in and out)

no wheezing and it does get a bit better as the next day goes on until next

infusion ( theyre around 6-7:30 PM)

IV nurse agrees with me that if it were true allergy or reaction to IV meds it

wouldnt take 6-8 hrs and ususally it would be worse after each infusion and yet

it actually varies--some nights worse than others.Although this doesnt guarantee

its not the meds--its less likely,

BUT in any case,?so any of you?know of alternative type treatments?? anything

help any of you guys?? when I get this I simply wait it out until the meds kick

back in but since he is suffering so much the past 3 days ( YAY I hope it means

a good old Herx)...if there is anything to lessesn even one thing for

him...well, Id like to try.

any ideas would be appreciated!!

thanks
