Breathing Tests Went Well. Mattcass

[mattcass]

Hi All, Everything was better than OK my tests showed I have clawed some Lung space back on my own not a lot but better than the other way round, The respiratory nurse was excellent she could see I was struggling with my RA and the trapped nerve and tried to make thing easier for me the only long and painful part was the gas transfer part my mouthpiece kept letting in air as my Jaw was so sore from my RA, But the other good news is I have lost 9 lbs in two weeks with the help and support of you all RA has eased off for now so back in the gym for some gentle exercises, Again Thx for all your replies. Matt/Fran

Hi Mattcass, it must be good to hear there is a slight improvement. RA is awfully painful. My cousin and I were both diagnosed with it in 2004, my diagnosis was changed to possible Lupus, or, as they now call it, undifferential connective tissue disease, which is a right gobful and gets me many baffled looks when I have to tell nurses ect... lol.

He has been through hell. It was affecting his liver and everything. But, last year, he was taken off the Mex (Can't spell it.) as it was making him feel so poorly and he said he is feeling so much better and is now working again. So, hopefully, it is burning itself out or is in remmission. Take care. xx

Well done Matt. I'm ashamed to say I'm not exercising as much as I should. Maybe it ought to be my New Year Resolution. Exercise and weight gain.

[mattcass in reply to Suzy6]

Hi Suzy Dont be ashamed just try a wee bit when you can,or in my case Exercise and weight loss.Matt

[pergola1 in reply to Suzy6]

I am afraid I should exercise more, Suzy. I have a great cd - Move it or lose it. Probably would do better if I had company.

Hi Eck Thanks, how did it go yesterday, matt

[Eck1234 in reply to mattcass]

Hello Matt good to "see" you back posting again and hopefully getting a break from that awful pain .

The meet the experts was very informative and positive the speakers were the best we have in Scotland , from your side of the country Nic Hirani was excellent .

What was disturbing was the fact that we dont have any specialy train ILD nurses in Scotland otherwise there seems to be loads of research and trials going on for IPF

Cheers

Eck
