I saw the specialist today. I had the very uncomfortable experience of a different lung function test. Because of my coughing it was .... not fun. However it did show that my lung function today was okay. That was very good news and shows how far I have come over the last 3 weeks.
I now have three different inhalers and a new cough medicine to use. He also told me that my doctor had been absolutely right in the treatment (which I agree with) that I have received over the past months and he said we need to continue to be very aggressive in treatment. He also took blood to check me for bacterial infection in the blood which could potentially be at the root of the problems I have faced over the past 8 months. he is confident that we can get back to my norm.
Other things he told me: the only reason my lung function is as good as it is .... is because I have been an athlete all my life. He also wants me to get a HEPA air purifier for the family room.
So all in all, a very positive appointment and one that gives me hope for the future.
And hope is always a very good thing ....
