    Hemoptysis and Hormones

    The WEIRDEST development in my health recently has to be this hemoptysis thing, but what makes it weird is that I only have it at one time. Right after sex. (specifically orgasm, if I don't orgasm, I don't have hemoptysis) This is only since I've been pregnant. (Sorry tmi, but hey thats life.)...

    Got new 105 Vest Model

    My 104 which wasn't that old suddenly kicked the bucket last week and Hill Rom sent me a new model, but this is the upgrade to the 105.
