Ok peeps listen

i have asthma for about 7 years getting worse with 5 gone to pieces the last year

was seeing a professor who persribed a different tablet every time and said yep hard to control asthma even though i have health insurance i went to my GP before christmas said i am bad i need an expert it took 6 months to see this guy he did 2 tests and i met him he said i think you have scarred lungs ( maybe IPF ) we will go with that for the minute he has booked me in for a scope down my throat next month , so at least this guy is doing something

Bad attack the weekend 12 hours in a and e met a great doctor who said you must get a scope down there see whats happening i said its happening next month thats ok so she said get it done soon .

so i wait to see if i have a life ending disease 3 to 5 years mostly they say

So go and get a scope down if you have breathing problems beat disease dont just take tablets

I'm surprised that he did not send you for a CT scan.
