    Thank you, Jimbo. I have used a neti pot in the past, and I will try it again. Thanks so much for responding.

    Judy, thank you so much for responding. I spoke with a pharmacist today about this problem, and that’s exactly what he recommended. I really appreciate hearing from you that it works for you. I will get it prescribed soon and hope that it does the trick.

    I know this is an older thread, but I’ve started to experience the constantly runny nose due to using oxygen 24/7. It’s really, really annoying and embarrassing, too. Just wondering if anyone ever tries things the OTC Claritin or Zyrtec to dry things up, even if it isn’t due to allergies??

    Oh, I confess that this just makes me want to crawl into the back of a closet somewhere. 🙁

    Sorry, but the thought of being even more confined is REALLY discouraging.

    Kate E replied to the topic Laser Therapy Results in the forum Pulmonary Fibrosis Awareness & Advocacy 3 years, 8 months ago

    @steve-dragoo I have one other question for now. I’d like a better understanding of what the chart for programmable lasers is recommending for a protocol before I start calling places around here to see if anyone will do this for me. If one was using that chart, would they be using all of those settings that are listed, from ‘capillary to…[Read more]

    Kate E replied to the topic Laser Therapy Results in the forum Pulmonary Fibrosis Awareness & Advocacy 3 years, 8 months ago

    Thanks to Steve and Charlene and Dr Hall and John for responding! Much appreciated. @drandyhall this is what I can tell you. When you go to the protocol on your summit website, it directs you to ‘download and print’ down at the bottom. When I did that, it converted it to a pdf, and there’s info missing on the protocol page in the pdf. The chart is…[Read more]

    Kate E replied to the topic Laser Therapy Results in the forum Pulmonary Fibrosis Awareness & Advocacy 3 years, 8 months ago

    Hello, all. I’m finally considering pursuing laser therapy. My pulmonologist has said that he would read Andy’s protocol, and last night I downloaded it. Question, though: when you look at the protocol online, you get a chart for programmable lasers and some other info under the protocol section, but when you download it as a pdf, that chart…[Read more]

    Kate E replied to the topic The Relationship Between PAH & Pulmonary Fibrosis in the forum Diagnosis​ ​Information​ ​and​ ​General​ ​Questions 4 years ago

    Hi, Charlene,

    First of all, I’m very sorry to hear that you’ve developed PAH as a result of IPF. From my own experience, I find that it’s emotionally pretty challenging to hear yet another diagnosis on top of the first one. Each time that happens for me, I have to find my way through on so many levels, and it’s not easy.

    I, too, have developed…[Read more]

    John, you referred to acupuncture points being in an Egyptian study. Can you tell me how to get to that?

    thanks,

    Charlene, thank you so much for raising this issue. I’ve been bothered by the ‘fight’ and ‘warrior’ and ‘battle’ language for as long as I’ve been on the various online support groups. I do understand that it works for other people, but it doesn’t work for me at all. I think that I HAVE been fighting my illness for far too long, and in many ways…[Read more]

    Robin,

    Could I ask about how many things were tested for in the HP screening blood test that you had at JH?

    thanks,

    Hi, Lynn,

    I was diagnosed with fibrotic chronic HP in 2012 based on the results from a lung biopsy done here in Madison, WI, and then the sample was sent to Mayo for confirmation. I had some blood work done to identify an antigen, but it was all ‘unrevealing’. With hindsight, what I would have done differently at the time was to actually go to…[Read more]
