Well i gotta say i had a horrible experience last night that almost made me forget all about the fungus ball. Things were going fine all day till about 5 pm. I was watching tv and started to feel really cold, checked my temp it was 100.2. Took a tylenol, and sat outside in the heat. About an hour later i rechecked it again it was 102.4 took another tylenol to back up the one i took before.
Felt better later and fell asleep watching tv around 10pm. I woke around 11 ish once again freezing and shivering so badly i couldnt keep still. Check the temp it was 102. took 2 tylenol and went to the bathroom. Started coughing and could barely catch my breath then threw up, i was shivering so badly my lips were almost a bluish tinge. Panic time. I just sat down in the lizard room ( the warmest room in my apt.) and took slow deep breaths and started to calm down and feel better. I then took another tylenol in case what i threw up contained the two i took right before i threw up. about an hour later i was so hot and uncomfortable and took my temp again.... it was 104. I could not imagine what would cause this but i felt like crap and just lay down ( not flat though) and went to sleep. Today my temps have been in the 99.2 range thank God. What was that all about??????? I asked my doctor today and she said it could be 24 hour flu or 24 hour virus . My pft's are a bit up from last time fev1 43% and fvc 69% and that was with very crappy effort since i had such a headache. Had i not had the ehadache i could have given it my all.... but not today.
OK now for the fungus ball............ well i am guessing this is good news. My Doctor explained to me that we will probably never actually get rid of it since it is walled off in its own little spot ,BUT it had little areas that spread out around it ( in the last 2 cat scans) and they are gone <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> , It is now contained all in one spot. She said i will have to take the vfend for a year and we will access things from there. She said most likely i will have to keep going back on the vfend as maintence to keep it from growing. Its not exactly what i was hoping to hear ( i wanted to hear it disappeared), but the fact that it has improved and is now only one contained walled off thing, than we are in the right direction. Thank you guys for the well wishes and prayers. I will not give up praying and hoping this thing disappears. Miracles happen. But for now, ill be happy with some good news, even if it is small <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
