pulmonary disease.

He gave me advair 100/50 once a day.
Singulair once a day. Flonase once a day.
We viewed the ct scan to gether he said
that I had a few spots that were not
normal.

O.K.,all of those meds should help you
breath better.Did your doc suggest any
follow-up scans in several months?If you
are a smoker,spots can mean lots of
things,not always cancer.If you are a
smoker,i hope you stop now.Hope you're
doing better soon.Patty

Non smoker that doesn't mean anything
exposed to second hand smoke for 11 years
4 for those 4 of the people in the house
smoked.
I have been having ct scans for a lung
nodule starrt in 2002
it starrted with an abdominal ct scan
which showed ground glass in the lower
lobes and I in sisted on a full chest ct
scan. So it went from ground glass to
empyhsematous to copd/small airway
disease.

Ground glass?Do you mean asbestos?If
that's the case,is it work related?What
does your doctor say your long term
prognosis is?Sorry for all the
questions,just curious.Take care.Patty

Well for me I was told form one Dr.
Alveolitis. Another Dr. Some kind of
interstitial lung disease. Another dr
pulmonary fibrosis.
And a different Dr. Told me it was
congestive heart failure. I am not sure
what is really wrong with me.

If your problems are work related you are
entitled to workman's comp for this.Have
you seen a pulmonary specialist?If not,you
should.I would trust their opinion over a
gp.

You know they were all pulmonary
specialists that I saw. My internist did
not beleive me when I first went to see
him that I even had anything wrong with my
lungs.
As for suing workman comp. I haven't
worked in 13 years been taking of sick
child and parent.
