I have been a little sick. I am mostly very tired and exhausted, with a raspy cough and voice. So this morning my bladder was really full and when I relieved it... my right lung had a pain. Almost like my bladder made room for my lung and my lung was sore about it. Anyone else with this type...

When do you consider an exacerbation is occurring? Is it a lower than norm pft that won't get back to baseline or just roller coaster pft's? Is it doing oral antibiotics every three months and that includes exhaustion w/o productive cough? I am distraught on when it's time for ivs. It's...

I have a deep yucky cough for three weeks. I have been feeling weak and tired from the moment I wake up even after a good nights rest. I have even been taking naps. No fever but feels like I am on the verge of one. Interesting enough my PFTs are awesome but I feel like crap. And, the funny...

In my past blog... I caught a bug... I described how my cold was taking on diff. lives on a daily basis. Well today my lungs feel heavy but I still don't have a fever. But, I almost feel nauses from it. I have never had that feeling before associated with a lung issue. Not that I am going to...

I am 5'4 and 130lbs. I do not take enzymes. I exercise on average three days a week run/jog for 5 miles. But I eat and eat and eat a lot. I don't seem to gain weight but boy can I eat. Plus, I don't get overly stuffed that often. I will have a sandwich and chips for lunch and then a bowl...

I feel like I am a little short of breath which is making me very tired. Like... I am ready to go to bed at 7:00 every night. It's like that exhaustion you get your first trimester when your pregnant. No, I am not pregnant. But it's like that and I'm wondering if it's because I am more short...

I just want to know if any of you feel different on a daily basis? Let me explain..... some days I feel fine, but then the very next day I feel weak and a tickly, persistent cough, then the next day brings lots of chunky mucus cough, and then it changes the next day? Sometimes I feel like uh...

I get to join because it came today. I used it just now and it makes me itch like a mother. Other than that it feels really good to visualize the mucus falling off of my lungs and going into the stomach dumpster. Does it make me lose an unwanted 10 pounds plus I just ate 5 mini milky ways? I...

This maybe a silly question but whenever I get a cold that settles in my lungs my husband gets on my case about getting an abx. on board. So when you catch a cold, when is the point you turn to antibiotics. Do you give it a week or two to see if it goes away or the moment you know you have one...

I have a very productive cough. I am not able to get it up easily though (I am ordering my vest, today and the accapella makes me gag). My sputum is growing the same stuff PA. I have been like this for over a week. Should I go on abx. or hold off and see if it will go away? I'm doing my...

Granted, yesterday I had a migraine and today I had a tummy ache. An ache right between the end of my rib cage and my belly button. It wasn't super doubled over in pain, but no appetite, but enough to want to lay down and I was cold. My tummy Ache went away after I took a nap. But, the rest...

I got a migraine yesterday. I get them once or twice a year. Does anybody else get them. I get the ones where my vision has static and it is nauseating.

My Bible study needs volunteers to work in toddler to preschool classes. I quit my job due to working with special needs children to try to cut down on contracting cold and flu. I feel obligated to help out but I'm a little concerned. I think it will be once or twice a month.

Everything looked great at dr. appt.; pft's were great, I'm not sick, blood levels good except white blood cell count was low. What could this be? The dr. dismissed it as probably being a mistake. But he didn't opt to get it rechecked. I dismissed it as well,until the next day I shared this...

I wanted a bit of advice for those of you who have had hemmaroids (sp?). Do I actually need to get them checked by a doctor or just treat them as they come. They only occur if I have a firm stool which is very very rare. So maybe once a year they flair up. After having children was the...

I went off of Tobi about a week ago because I was a bad girl and went off for a weekend and didn't want to do nebs at Disneyland. I also went off of HS because I became to busy to do that and didn't really feel like coughing; you know how that goes? I was doing everythings else like my meds...

Okay, so I have Arguillas fungus, mold in the lungs. Do you have psudomonas and arguillas and that makes PA?

My doctor goes by the FEV1 and not the %. What's the difference besides the obvious?

I know this is inflammation of the bronchial tubes but does this have anything to do with scar tissue in the lungs. Do I have this all wrong?

Are they the same or how are they diff.
