StaceyYount Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 HEY ALL,Been in a deep hole but had to venture out becuase I had an appointment with a pulmonoligist today and he siad that I have restrictive lung disease. But he is not sure why. Also looking at asthma and have to go get a CT of Lungs. I have had a bad cough on and off for past 3 years that nobody has been able to really say why so maybe this could be an explination. Does anyone know if it is realted to POTS? I am exhausted so I will keep this short and write more later but if anyone can say me too or any info would be great!Even if I am not on a lot I think of you all and hope you are doing okish! HUGS TO YOU ALL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corina Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 hi stacey!!! glad to hear from you, although i am sorry to hear you're in a deep hole. i can't really help you with this restrictive lungdisease (don't really understand what it is to be honest) but what i immediately thought reading your post was: another thing that cannot be understood by doctors. isn't that what we all experience all the time???!!! they see things happen to us, but don't understand why. i am very sorry stacey and sending you love and good thoughts for better health!!!take care,corina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaceyYount Posted June 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 Linda,I thought i remembered you had been dxd with this too, I will def email you, thank you so much!!Corina,I miss you and thank you for responding. You are so right there are so many things that they say well we don't know why and then you have to go home and deal with it. It is very hard. I hope you are well and am thinking of you often. Much love and hugs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
