- I was wondering if anyone has any input about whether prolonged exposure to JP4 fumes would have exacerbated or caused chronic respiratory problems. JP4 was the jet fuel used for military jet aircraft during the time of my service. (1967-1971). I...
- I do not take any medication for my diabete and have been able to control my blood glucose level for years with diet alone. My last A1C was 6.0.However my fasting glucose levels have been rising lately . The only change is a new medication,...
- I saw my neurologist today. She had confirmed that I had a slow CSF flow and enlarged ventricles after testing. (MRI and nuclear cisternogram). She is puzzled by my symptoms which are atypical of NPH. I am bothered by erratic arm movements and...
- I have been using the CPAP machine for a little less than a year. Usually I have no problem. However I currently have a cold and sore throat and the CPAP has made the situation worse. I have been awakened by a dry cough the last two nights and the...
- Just a note to all our members who live in California. You all have my sympathies because of all the brush fires. I honestly don't know how you guys with asthma function with all that smoke in the air.What do you all do to get by?
- My hands have been shaky for the last two years or so. At first I thought it was due to my asthma meds. But they persisted even after I was weaned off the worst of the meds. I was sent to a neuro and she thought that it was cerebellar ataxia. After...
- Has anyone gotten so accustomed to their asthma that they may not notice when they are wheezing? Twice I have been stopped by a nurse at a medical center and made to use my inhaler. I didn't even notice it but they sure got excited. It turns out...
- I saw the neurosurgeon who is supposed to do my shunt surgery. He is reluctant to do the surgery because I have problems with asthma, hypertension, and airway dysphonia. He said that he would do the surgery but he would not recommend it. He said...
- This is just a sort of vent I guess. After decades of robust good health, for which I am grateful, it seems as if age and Mother Nature are ganging up on me. First I was diagnosed with hypertension about 10 years ago. My doctor and I worked together...
- I live in the St.Louis area, one of the asthma capitals of the country. Awhile back I was at DMV to renew my license plates for my car. The line was a little long and predictably all the people caused me to start coughing forcefully. I had to leave...
- I am newly diagnosed with gout. I woke up with a sore left foot earlier this week. During the day, the foot became more swollen and red. I was afraid that I may have stepped on something and the foot was becoming infected so I went to the doctor. He...
- It's been a good week. I feel really great since Fall has arrived and the temperature has dropped. I don't suffer from allergies so the pollen levelsdon't affect me. However, heat and cold as well as irritants do affect me...a lot. But right now all...
- I have had T2 diabetes for several years. I controlled it well by diet and exercise alone. Unfortunately I also have asthma. Due to the asthma, I have been on prednisone about 7 times.The prednisone caused the blood sugar to spike but I was only on...
- I am now on my second change of BP meds due to asthma. When first diagnosed with hypertension 10 years ago I was put on Altace and Labetalol which worked very well.About 2 years ago I was diagnosed with asthma. The pulmonologist determined that my...
- Lately I just have not felt very well. It's a real strain to do relatively easy tasks. I seem to be breathing OK but if I do much I sweat and start gasping and have to sit. There is also some disorientation.In July I was in the ER and while there my...
