    I am off all antibiotics and bronchiodilaters now.

    I also bought a treadmill and some other exercise thing for inclement days.

    Vision in right eye is now20/30 minus 2. So I will probably get another 3 injections of Avastin again. If it keeps improving then i will get it.

    Breathing seems to be okay for the most part without the bronchiodilaters. I will try and stay off them as long as possible.

    I hope everyone else can see improvements as well.

    Thanks again for all your prayers and support.

    Yea Phil I'm glad to hear your off all that stuff and yr vision is getting better. Keep up the good work ! I went and saw my kidney dr. today who is from India but practiced in England and New York City and has seen and treated alot of wegs patients. I told him my reumy at CC wants me on 2000mg of Cellcept and he told me not to take it unless there was any kind of change in my bloodwork.He said I've been doing good for so long just being on steriods that I shouldn't start it if I don't need too. He also said they should have given me fosamax for my bones the day they put me on prednisone,since steriods causes bone loss and there's no getting it back. The best way to improve it is to use weight bearing excerises.So as soon as my cracked rib heals ,I'm gonna lift some weights,keep doing yoga
