OMG .......

Asbestosis & Azithromycin yuk.

Anyway yep a was talking to a pretty n lovely young women today DEFO a yummi could even be a doubble yummi .

We was chewing the cud and i had a OMG moment look about me.

Yep one of them looks about me any pariant would recognise esp when out looking at your child face when they need to go.

Anyway she asked if i wanted to go to the toilet .... eh i thought then yep penny dropped.

O a said nor am ok ... ive just had apiffany.

Anyway a looked round and she had gone LOL Strange so i shrugged my shoulders and took a deep breath and carried on.

Which brings me to my apiffany Asbestosis & Azithromycin ad hate to disappoint my lung doc

But i dont think Azithromycin are that great for Asbestosis and my condtion.

Azithromycin by my understanding are a macrolide antibiotic ie collegen a auto immune disorder disease drug antibiotic.

When you look at my pic on left thats coughed up lung tissue with inflammation spots .. Those inflammation spots are made up of collagen trying to deslove get rid of irratants stuck in my lung tissue.

Picture on right is same process but with collagen and asbestos fiber in process of being desolved by my inflammation cells ie collagen but lung tissue is fragile and easly damaged as any lung suffer knows to well.

Where it gets complex is asbestos fibers and your bodys inflammatory responce can mimic in my opinion a auto immune disease given inflammation collagen and asbestos fiber body interaction

Now i take steriode inhalers to stop

Infection and also importantly surrpress my bodies inflammatory responce given asbestos and collagen in my lungs

So one as to ask is Azithromycin aka a macrolide antibiotic that disrupts collagen inflammation really best.

Befoure you say yes like i did .. Ad say NO as that must counter react with my steriode inhaler

Now is that why i seem to find Azithromycin is no good with inhaler given what i have talked about .

Dosethat not mean as Azithromycin is counter reacting with steriode inhaler i have when i feel a bit shakey is that not effect .

Also is it not putting me at risk of asbestos & collagen systemic inflammatory response that every one thinks is or just infection, gentic, and just a auto imune disorder when in fact is asbestos causing it as my pictures illastrate.

That might be one for medical books depending on ya social standing

Good post as usual Daz, not sure about the lady though. Real or ghost eh?! You may want to take this up with one of your medical professionals asap as it certainly is food for thought. Auto immune is great at mimicking other diseases so who knows? You could re-write the medical books I think. Wishing you well and let me know how things go for you. Take care. xxxxxx

is your inhaler seratide? the purple one?

Food for Thought I had a good friend who was a chiropractor and he told me that if the spine is in certain places it can come up with all sorts of ailments. One can give you pain so bad it can make doctors think it is the appendix.

Be Well

I fell off the roof at my parents house, it was not until I was on the lawn and looking up I realised I had fell off. Another time my father was driving in the rain and it aquaplaned it hit the kerb and rolled over 3 times on the first roll the door opened and my father went out (before seat belts were compulsory) and just like the movies it was all in slow motion and I saw this and grabbed him only to go out with him. People in the cars behind thought we were both "a gonna" we flew over the car as it was rolling and landed past it. I think due to the ground being so soft from the rain it saved us both as we both walked away. Very muddy and bruised. After all that I seemed to be okay and after restarting work after my ICU stay in 2008, 3 vertebra collapsed after driving over some potholes. The body is a strange thing.

in reply to Offcut

A thought mine was bad but thats horrific fella defo been threw the wars

Think shock would of killed me .. defo think you right about our bodies if only we could bottle stuff that keeps us ok when we do mad or survive mad things we would be ok in later life
