Firstly, I wanted to thank everyone for their support on my previous posts, you guys are pretty amazing.
I found I was getting no where with my GP despite worsening symptoms. I have a referral for 8 weeks time to specialist. We are moving countries in less than 2 weeks (supposedly, if I can breathe) so I booked a HRCT as I really need some answers before we go.
I spoke with a private GP and he reassured me this is test I need to rule in and rule out a number of conditions.
Mostly concerned about restrictive lung disease due to the crackling on a deep breath, progressive breathlessness and white phlegm.
I guess I will have some answers tomorrow (the joys of private health care) and can go from there, nervous is an understatement ๐ very much hope I am over reacting and itโs something far less sinister.

Really hope all goes well tomorrow for you! I find having answers at least helps know what youโre having to deal with. Hope your move goes smoothly too and youโre soon settled and breathing well!
There are plenty of lung conditions that are NOT sinister. Fingers crossed for something simple, eh? You need answers and it sounds like you are on the way to getting some at last.All the best, Jen. Keep us posted, won't you? Xx Moy
