Hi all,
I have some lung nodules but, the congestion is what bothers me. Dr gave me an inhaler but, I hate to use it. I seem to be coughing up junk and feel wheezing in lungs. :-( Anyone have RA lungs? I haven't told my family (grown kids and families) as there is really nothing they can do but, worry.
Think I should call pulmonist dr and not wait for another two months when my appt is scheduled. I assume the prognosis is not great but, need to know what to expect. Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks gang.... gentle hugs,
Bobbi

It would be a good idea and tell the pulmonologist's office you have had additional complications, and if nothing else, see if they can fit you in sooner when a cancellation comes in.
I called two new doctors this past week [neruologist and surgeon] and made appointments, but asked if they could fit me in if they had any cancellations. Both had me in the same day I called.
Hope you do well, and have some peace of heart and mind as you wait to see the doctor. God bless.
Best of luck!
Blessings,
Bobbi
Sending best wishes your way for quick relief and a good pulmy visit!
