can't sleep, can't breathe

Thanks everyone.
Going to emergency doc visit tomorrow. I'm practically begging for O2 at this pt, but I haven't qualified for it yet (in terms of stats). I am too tired to read thru the posts, but will have my husband do so.
I pushed myself to take my son to the toy store today and was so sick driving (I threw up twice from coughing fits) that I had to pull over and have my brother pick us up. I can't eat or sleep or shower or even get dressed. I've never felt so desperate in my life. I almost feel like I need hospice or something, but I know that is in the opposite direction of tx. Just so hard to live so debilitated. My son wants me to hold him, to play with him or read to him and I can't. I've never known this kind of daily suffering. It is so miserable.

Vicki I use a bed wedge with my regular pillow when i have a hard time breathing. I ordered mine from www.harrietcarter.com or www.abcdistributing.com....both offer them for $19.95 +s/h and no Rx required. You have to sign up for an account on these websites to order it. If you dont want to do it that way, you should be able to go to a medical supply store and they should have it. However they will probably cost more there. I attached a picture on so you can see what it looks like. I hope you find something to help and get feeling better.
