doc visit
Going to the doctor this Thursday. Got to get my questions together. Pulmonary function - fev1 results to be discussed of course. Sleep study - he wanted me to have one and I haven't yet. Oxygen and bronchodilators won't work for me? Because I trap air and my o2 sats are good. What is my future? Steroids? They work wonderfully for me! But I am young and I guess we need to save the big guns especially with bone loss etc. Had a respiratory infection and I took steroids and relapsed overnight-very significantly. Wet the couch from coughing and I had a pad on. Anyway I increased back to forty and I had just stepped down to 20mg. How does he want me to handle this in the future? Should i call before doing this? Work? Doing better, but if I get to the point where I was prior to starting my meds and learning to pace I will have to stop work. Disability? Or am I not a candidate yet. I guess I could be a triage nurse. Would suck at it but...
