I think what you have is pleurisy or pleuritic pain. Where your lungs rub up against the pleural sac that contains them. As my PFTS got lower I had more and more of this pain. Motrin IB helped with the pain but it always seemed to be there, on both sides like you say.

I think Duke would perform a tx even if you were resistant to everything. They are THAT serious about getting people lungs. So if it came to the point where there was practically no drug that seems to help your exacerbations, then that just means its time for transplant, in my opinion.

No, I didn't have any questionaire, but they do ask you how you feel, have you had a fever recently. I also signed consents for the surgery itself, for the high risk donor, and for anaesthesia.

I was transplanted almost a year ago. I was also afraid of the vent. I woke up the day after my surgery and was aware that as hard as I tried i could not move my hands up to my mouth to remove the tube. I had a hard time keeping calm about it being there, I think I cried. But there was a nurse...

I've experienced a lot of depression and anxiety since my tx 6 months ago. My friendships have changed, some for better some for worse but my life has changed so drastically in so short a time. Medication helps a little, but its worth it

That's great Lex! I'm at 10 mgs as well and don't use as much insulin. But I was insulin dependent before my transplant so I know I'll be forever taking insulin but less is always good! I like going under too, its a weird feeling but I always get a nice power nap from it all
