Lisamarie - thinking of you.

Yes, your current condition is worrisome, LisaMarie, and my prayers are with you. Stay strong, and know that there are lots of us behind you.

ok spiked another temp today does anyone know what they may do of it is truly in my lungs .i feel liked crap....i can not even fake well...so that is saying something...i get so sob so easy....so i am sleeping on the sofa...praying Monday comes soon and i don't end up in the hospital.....so of any of u can give me any clue what to except it would be great....trying to stay hydrated thanks for the prayer and support

Infection and Wegeners can do that....from my personal experience...when my WG was active I would spike a temp of 101. and it would only stay with me for 4-5 hours and disappear.
LisaMaire if you feel more short of breath you are going to have to go to the ER. My mother in law had pneumonia when she was visiting us and did not tell us that she was becoming more short of breath....it got so bad I had to call 911. Her respiration's were 30 and shallow breathing....she was a mess. I know it is a pain to go to the ER, I have been there so many times....I thought I should rent a room there.

Elephant is right. Monday is a long way off and you need to get checked out. My two main concerns are pulmonary hemorrhage and pneumonia. Your CT showed ground glass opacities, which can be blood. You wouldn't necessarily be coughing much or coughing up blood. (My lungs were filled with blood and I barely had a little dry cough)

I've been to the ER more times than I can count and dread it. But I think someone should take a look at you today.

I think there is some good advice here - I hate going to the ER, but I've never found it to be a waste of time. It may serve to put your mind at rest if nothing else.
Hope it works out OK for you.
Jack.

there is no speciali st close and i would have to figuire which hospital of my 3 specialist to go to .....so once my husband gets home he will take me

[LisaMarie]

or i should say maybe he will me....he really hates hospitals ...and he may stay home with the kids and i'll have a friend take me....i will keep u all posted...i spiked again to 102.4 but it went down which leads to WG more than pnuemonia

[Sangye]

Glad you're going.... Hugs to you!
