Very Happy Very Happy Hi all,

I am so very, very grateful for what I heard my pulmonary doctor say today. I DO NOT have emphysema like my family doctor said I had in 03. I have asthma though. The pulomary doctor said I need to get rid of my cat and have the house cleaned thourghly on a regular basis. I am limited in housework on count of my back. He says I could have a sinus infection inwhich he gave me anti-biotics and said if I'm not better in a few weeks to come back. It could also be GERD making me feel like I do although he didn't say that. That was on the sheet handed to the office lady.

My oxygen level was 98!

I am really starting to sound like my mom did when she was living, when I say, "That doctor was handsome!"

I can't get over how many sypmtoms I got when thinking I had COPD. All psycho sysmatic I guess or other causes.

I am ready to celebrate tonight somehow after hearing I don't have COPD after thinking I did for over the past 2 years.

Thank you, Jesus for the wonderful news.

I am glad though for the false diagnosis of COPD because if it had not been for that I would have never persued finding support and help in quitting smoking thus coming upon FFS. The rest is history.

Sorry to ramble, I'm just so happy!!!

Blessings,

Barb,

This is wonderful I am sorry that I have not been on lately and have not answered your emails. We have been having a crisis here involving my daughter so I have been rather limited on how long I have been on but know I am thinking of you and will email you as soon as I can
