      From JoanCMD September 25

      We are all fighting our own battles and selfish as it sounds, it does help to know that there are others who have been there or are there and to share ideas. Sometimes I feel that my drs and some of the people here are the only ones in the world who understand what we are going thru and most of the drs don't.

    • Close Pulmonary Hypertension

      Ihave pulmonary hypertension and am gathering as much material as I can regarding this disease. One year ago in April I had to go to emergency hospital after work. I had been having a tough time really bad for a couple to about 3 weeks before. I could barely make it through 8 hours everyday that I worked so I finally went and haven't been able to work since.

      Treatments

      Remeron Not Working
      I took this and gained 20 pds waterweight. I quit taking it.
      Sildenafil Citrate Working / Worked
      This treatment was like night and day but I believe I am getting immuned to it. I go do a six minute walk July 14th and I'll talk to my Dr.
      Spiriva Somewhat Helpful
      This helps a little because I smoke. BAD BAD!!! I did get Chantix and will set a date to quit. I stopped drinking alcohol 3 years ago in April but this smoking is a Tuffy!
      BuSpar Not Working
      Switched from remeron to this. Hate it. Makes me shaky inside and unsettled and just icky!!!
      Walking Working / Worked
      This is really good for my poor old heart and it helps to keep the weight at bay.
    • Close Smoking Addiction & Recovery

      I've been diagnosed with PPH for over a year now. I've smoked camel studs for 32 yrs. I've started Chantix and need support. Thanks.

      Treatments

      Chantix Too Soon to Tell
      Just started today. The reviews here are not good. I hope it doesn't interact with my Remeron. I'm chicken, here.
      Support Groups Too Soon to Tell
      e-mails and info everyday. Hope they don't bug me back to smoking.
