Title: To tired to breath
Post by: tsharrard on December 01, 2008, 06:22:05 AM
I was a little scared when i began having difficulty taking a deep breath. i have no chest congestion or signs of a cold. I just have the worst fatigue I have ever had. I barely have the energy some days to get out of bed. The other days I just force myself. I have difficulty taking a deep breath ,, and i think it is mainly because of the fatigue. It is heavy feeling and sometimes I get hoarse from all the dryness. I forced myself to come in today because i didnt want to take a full day off work. i have a doc appt this afternoon. I am praying she can help. I have also been having pain in both my lft and right side of my abdomen. wierd I have no idea what that is all about. My glands hurt. my jaw hurts. this is horrible. I have one friend that might understand. My parents are worried. I dont want people to worry just to offer a helping hand. i am driving everywhere myself,, which is probably not a good idea because of the weakness, and not knowing what is going on.

Oh Teresa, honey,

I'm real worried about you and hoping so much the doctor will think of something that will relieve how awful you are feeling!

DON'T FORGET TO MENTION YOUR BREATHING DIFFICULTY TODAY (I only say this because I once went to the doc. and then forgot to tell why I was there!)

Sending you love and best wishes.
Janna

Hi Teresa

Please do tell us how you got on at the doctors today. Breathing difficulty sounds worrying.

Take care - Scottie  :)
