Well i went to my Dr.'s yesterday ( was supposed to go today, be he didnt want to wait) I called my Nurse on Monday and told her what was going on with my having hemoptysis since i started using the AZLI.
3 Days after i strated using it, i had hemoptysis and streaks for the rest of the day. Then next day same thing and so on. 3 days before i called her i started having some shortness of breath. She called back and said the Dr. wanted me to stop the AZLI and come in the next day so i did. I only did one PFT. because he didnt want to irritate my lungs anymore. They were horrible <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0"> . He asked if i wanted iv's and i said yes right away. Although i dont really <b>feel</b> sick, my numbers are terrible and i am short of breath, and the last time my numbers were this low i was sicker than sick and had to go in the hospital and be on oxygen. I told him since i dont actually feel sick i'd rather start the iv's now before it gets any worse. I <b>surely</b> want to avoid going in the hospital. He had me walk up and down the hallway with a pulse ox on to see what my numbers would do. I started out at 94% and when i was done.... 88%, he then said iv's were a good idea ( even though he agreed to do them already). I was also told to stop the AZLI for now.
What scares me most is my last iv's were only 2 and a half months ago. And before that 3 months before. It seems the need for them is coming closer and closer and i feel i am in a bad spiral and cant seem to get out of it for long. Any good vibes , advice , encouragement or prayers are so very much appreciated. I am really trying to get my health back to normal, and keep my sanity while doing it. LOL
