Well, here I go. I am a 61 year old female from KY. I began having health issues about 9 months ago. The biggest problem being a severe cough that would not go away. I knew something wasn't right- more than just a cold or allergies. Every doctor I saw wanted to just keep throwing a new medicine at me and hope it worked. So after 2 primary care physicians, a cardiologist, and 3 ENT's I finally found an ENT who began looking at why. Last week he said there were "abnormalities" in my P-ANCA. But it was so low he wanted me to see a pulmonologist for a diagnosis- With the research I have done I think maybe he just hoped someone else would have to give me the bad news. I see the pulmonologist on Thursday. Hoping for help in understanding what is happening in my body and where to go for the best treatment possible. So the journey begins.
