I am having a heck of a time breathing... I had a chest xray a week ago today and they didn't see anything... but my breathing was not as bad as it is today and each day it seems to get a bit worse. I was shopping and while just walking in the store I became so very weak and so short of breath and sweaty I had to stop and couldn't finish my shopping thank goodness my husband was with me. I am coughing my head off also and it isn't a cold kind of cough at all more of a very dry cough. The doctor gave me an inhaler the other day when I was into see him. It helps some but not that much. He told me I had the flu/the crap that is going around. I tried to tell him just how bad I was feeling and let him know it was not the flu... I don't know how to get through to the doctors. The fatigue is so darn bad. I feel just like I did about 10 years ago and at that time I ended up in the hospital and about died... and they didn't know what was wrong then. They told me that my lungs were filled with what looked like white fluffy stuff.... the pulmonologist said he had never seen a set of lungs like that before and he didn't know what it was. Later he just went and dx'ed it as pneumonia. The bad thing is I live in a very small town and maybe the doctors here don't see the rare diseases as much as those doctors in the big cities.
I was wondering if maybe my blood work showed something that time when I was in the hospital that would make the doctors understand how bad I feel now. Because my blood is slow to tell them how bad I feel until I get really sick. Maybe I could get those results from like 10 years ago... I was told that my blood test were not good back then and that was why my doctor put me in the hospital. I know they did a lot of blood tests back then. Just wondering if they keep paper work that long on file. I just wish I would of ask for some of the reports back then but I didn't know this illness would hit again.
