Shingles And Meningitus!
My name is Ana and I am 50 year old English lass. I am currently working in Atlanta Georgia (USA). When I was back in England in march I had indigestion pains in my upper chest. They came and went. Then on April 13th I had a wee itch on my right shoulder blade. I thought it was a thread from my shirt

Dad diognosed with lung cancer.
My dad had been coughing for a while and recently coughed up blood. He went for a chest x-ray which showed up 2 shadows on he's left lung. He went for a CT scan and had a bronchoscopy. The results were that he has lung cancer and it is close to he's heart so they can't operate. Theres another hospital

Get it checked!
We all know that one of the symptoms of lung cancer is having a cough that doesn't go away after a few weeks, and that RCLCF encourages folk with this or other symptoms, to get it checked out. I'm not very good at taking advice, but I do know that the Foundation's advice is always GOOD! Having had

Bronchiectasis & MAC
What a year! Just been diagnosed with extensive bronchiectasis, asthma, sinus disease and now, MAC. The latter is caused by mycobacteria entering the lungs. These mycobacteria can be found in anything from shower heads to swimming pools and is present in our every day lives. Unfortunately, for people

What to expect with early tests
My mum has been referred to the hospital for a chest x ray, ecg and bloods this week. It's because she fainted last week and took a while to come round properly. She has had a cough for over 6 months , has smoked for 60 years ( mostly untipped ) , is weary and has a sore throat. She had been getting

False Pretences
I do not know if I have lupus. I suspect that I do not. However, I found an interesting thread on this site which seemed to reflect some of the gastric problems that I have been experiencing for the past six months or so. So I apologise now if I am here under false pretences and will understand if you

Apparently there's nothing wrong with me??
I can't find my original post, it may have been deleted when the Forums were being worked on. Quick recap: In February I developed a terrible cough that didn't go away. It progressed to nighttime coughing and then eventually wheezing after coughing. I went to the walk in clinic where I was told I

had a chest xray today
I had a chest x-ray today, I was surprise at how nervous I was. I didn't realize I had a cough since the 12 of feburary this year. Reading the paper the gp gave me to take to the hospital made me even more nervous, but I think if I'm being honest with my self its because my chest is still hurting not

utterly in a tiz about my condition
Tight chest, as if I'm being strangled, hard to breathe, cough... -it was thought I had asthma, but it is now thought perhaps not, perhaps its allergies. I have seen bits about xolair on the web, and it seems to say the allergies it could possibly help include dustmites, mould, cockroaches and pets

Am I being silly?
My husband was diagnosed as terminal in Dec and was supposed to get chemo in Jan. The pleural effusion was not malignant when results came back so then stage 2-3. He had brochoscopy, Pet scan, another bronchoscopy and was referred to Papworth where he was told removal of lung was a curative option.

My Mum - the saddest day
Hi all, I am typing this as I sit by my Mum's side in hospital. Dad was advised to call my brothers & I in yesterday morning in the early hours & we have all been here since. Mum is very peaceful due to medication & we have had time to tell her all we want to, I've had some lovely chats (all one-sided

Chemotherapy after Surgery
Two weeks ago my husband had a right upper lobectomy and lymph node sampling. He was discharged last week but to our suprise was given an appointment to attend the hospital on Monday only 13 days after the operation. It transpired that they were concerned that my husbands lung had not inflated fully

Breathlessness: What happened next............
Hi all, Thought maybe you might like to know what happened yesterday at the hospital, after developing breathlessness last week. Fortunately I had an appointment pre booked with the synovitis nurse (which I assume is the same as rheumy nurse).Can you believe it, the very day I'm feeling so out of breath

Really worried about my breathing / asthma - anyone with these symptoms?
Hey guys, Great forum, been looking for something like this. Basically here is my story: I'm 32. Had asthma all my life, but very rarely gave me trouble - only if playing sport etc would I get a bit wheezy. Smoked on / off for 10 years. Averaged maybe 5 a day if that, sometimes months without one

Too scared to ask for pain relief
I was diagnosed with Fibro last week after many months of pain and fatigue. My doctor said there is nothing they can really do and did not offer me any pain relief. He has arranged for an ECG and chest x ray as I have allot of chest pain at the moment (he wants to rule out heart problems for my peace
