Breast trouble, Part II - Back from ultrasound...what's wrong with my arm?

Jul 11, 2006 17:22

Bah! I meant, as I said, to get back to people's comments and such either Sunday or Monday. Naturally, there was then storming in my area! At one point on Sunday, the mall I work at was apparently trying to EVACUATE people! WTF?! I don't know if that was related to the ongoing storm at all or not, but I find it pretty funny that nobody in the food ( Read more... )

health, medical tests

also, from my experiences, I note that they take a lot of pictures in areas where they are "supposed to," meaning areas that they think the doctor really wants to see very clearly. Since she knew the area that was of concern, I'm sure she wanted to document it very fully, since her recordings are the sum total of everything the doctor will have to work with, and it is much more inconvenient for the doc to perhaps want to see a little more, and for the whole thing to be rescheduled and done again, than it is for her to document completely and thoroughly the area in question.

... not that that means anything, just for perspective, because I've accompanied lots of people for diagnostic procedures over the years.

still, I hope everything is going to be perfectly fine. I wish you didn't have so much pain all of the time. It seems like they should be able to fix your lung issues somehow. *shows obvious ignorance*

*more hugs*

Yeah, that could be all it is. I really don't know.

Aw, I'm not really in pain ALL the time, and it's really not that severe, as things go. I'm generally okay with it; it's deal-able, y'know.

The lungs, yeah...I haven't actually had a pneuo in quite a while (I think?), but I KNOW they aren't "okay." That whole issue is sort of in limbo right now, because I don't know what else could be done. Maybe nothing.

BUT because my asthma is acting up again, I now have another inhaler - a non-rescue type, a steriod inhaler. Which is the same kind I was given to help stop the pneuos from popping up. So maybe that will help.

*shrugs* *accepts your hugs* :)

I've heard that some of the new steroid inhalers can work wonders. I particularly like the dry type inhalers like Advair, but I think only because of the novelty value. I've heard, though, that because they aren't "sprayed" into the mouth that they don't taste as bad.

Hmm, I don't know about that. (I mean, I literally don't know, not that I disagree.) Both of the inhalers I have right now spray, but both have a very mild, unobjectionable taste. If you recall (I'm sure you don't), the inhaler the respiratory specialist gave me for pneuos tasted HIDEOUS.

According to the information sheets that came with my inhalers, the difference IS in the type of spray - some chemical in it, I think? - that they got rid of because it wrecks the ozone layer.
