Hi Again.
About a month ago, I Let you all know about some issues I have been having. Diagnosed with URI in May, 2 rounds of antibiotics and an over night stay in the hospital, I was still very SOB. Had chest xray done, that came back clear but my PCP said she thought I had pneumonia. Second round of antibiotics. No improvement. Almost 2 weeks ago, I saw my pulmonologist, she had me do a neubulizer treatment and I immediately felt better. However, it was short-lived. The next day, it was back to the same. Went to ER twice last weekend. Blood tests, blood gasses, EKG's, Xrays, CT Scan. Everything came back negative or normal. No answers. I have continued the neb treatments, but I really am not feeling any improvement, just a lot of shaking. Feel like I am going to come out of my skin. I go back to my pulmonologist on the 11th and am hoping for some answers. She thinks it is being caused by the infection having gone deep into my lungs. This has been 2 months. I am just wondering if anyone else has been through this or has any advice.
Up until about 2 weeks ago, I exercised every day. Was up to almost 10,000 steps a day, had no real issues with my breathing. It feels like I have fallen off a cliff. I am struggling to keep from gasping for air and have not been to work out and am barely getting in 1500 steps a day. I am very frustrated, and I don't mind saying, scared. I am afraid this is my new normal, and it is awful...
Sorry this was so long, thanks for your time guys and dolls.
