how to pass a 6 minute walk test

I have an unusual question - I am trying to get a lung transplant and am through all the tests but the 6 minute walk (I am on 24/7 oxygen 6 LPM) - but Even with 10 mg of steroids I can't seem to pass the 6 minute walk - has anyone known of any doctors that raise the steroids so that I can pass the test - or is there anything else that can be done - any info is appreciated.

thanks

perhaps you should put this question in the main forum; you\'ll probably receive more responses.

are you on 10mg per day? are you doing the walk with O2?

have you tried bribing the pulmonary therapist? :)

Good luck and keep at it...
