Glad you all join in on the conversation...
saveferris2009 - You are welcome. Another article? Who wrote it and can you post the link, here? I like "Be proactive, not reactive, about your health"
Moxie1 - Glad to hear that there was some noise out there about Tranexamic Acid. I spoke to the author of the article at one point and he said he moved from the university that the study was done and never picked it back up so without the researcher behind the study it's up to the MD, I guess.... as far as my CPT, I don't use the vest, my CPT is manual and I am working on a video instruction to upload to youtube in the next month or so. Basically it intense and loud (you can hear it down the hallway) manual percussion for 3 minutes on 11 positions, mixed with huff breathing with heavy pressure with G5 hospital quality vibrator. I receive it twice daily via Respiratory Therapist (RT). I will get more into the how in the video, the segment, and what my G5 machine is... So until then. Moxie I like when you said, your lung know when it's time... this turning into our body is the key... glad to hear you are listening.
Gotu Kola Again...My sister is one who never skips her Gotu Kola and just about any treatment she has an after her bad 16 oz bleed she never had another bleed and was able to go back on Pulmozyme and any and all treatments.
LouLou - Hope you don't need it and ain't it good to have as many safety nets as possible... especially when you don't need them...I am more of a streaker and if I don't take care of it in the bud. I will bleed about 5 mouthfuls. So ya I can scare the crap out of myself when it happen. And I get that I was totally check out of my body... aka not tuning into what it was saying. Yoga helps with tuning in for me.
I forgot to mention that only check this forum about once a week. And yes my user name changed because I could not reset the passcode, I tried 5 times.
