Scope in the Morning!

[DesignerS]

Off to U of M at 3 am to have a scope of my lungs done If I hear, "we do not see anything" I will cry! I don't want them to find anything, but I am sure everyone knows what I mean. There has to be a reason why I cannot breathe good and end up on steroids constantly.
I will check in tomorrow and let you all know what the doctor says.

Best wishes to you, Designer.  I hope they can give you a "reason" for your breathing problems and it's something that is easily fixable.

Good Luck,
Bucky

Oh Designer, I will be there on April 1 for something of the same problems.  I wish they were scoping my lungs and will beg them to do so.  haha.

I will be having more routine tests because of my diagnosis of pulmonary fibrosis. I wish you well and know you are in good care at U of M.  I can't wait for your information.  Lucy

Good luck. I hope they find something with an excellent prognosis that is easily treated.

Please tell us the results. I guess that you will not know for a day or two.

Hope you got some helpful news!  I hope it was good too, but if not, at least helpful in knowing what is going on and what course of action you need to take.

I have never had a scope before, that was different then I expected. lol I will have the complete results in one week. The fluid they put into my lungs and then took back out, was very cloudy. This can mean many different things.
BUT, I have to tell everyone this! The Pulmonologist, that I have Never met, said he thinks I have broncholitis also, DUE to the Sjogrens! I was just amazed that he linked my lung problems to Sjs! Where has this doctor been! LOL
Anyway, I got through it, and will definately let you all know when I receive the results:) Thank you for your support:)

It is so hard for us sjoggies to find docs who will admit that the lungs can be affected. I have a good pulmonary and she wants to check me more in depth i a few months for the same issues you have. I am not suffering big time from the SOB, but I have had the issues for many years and always called asthma. She wants to make sure that it is not progressing down that slippery slope. Good luck.

Have you found out anything?

Designer--I am following this because I will be at U of MI on April 1 to see about similar pulmonary problems.  It's pointing towards pulmonary fibrosis at this time.  I am very SOB.  I know they will give me a walk test and possibly some flights of stairs.l  Yeah, right.  :-)

I have had one phone call from U of M since my scope! I will be there on March 28th so they can put this puzzle together(hopefully)! The Pulmo wants more lung testing, not sure what else is left I will keep you posted and I am so sorry you are struggling with shortness of breath:( A terrible feeling...
