    Thank you for posting this great information Charlene. I know it has been awhile since last writing. I have been living in a whirl wind. Any person waiting for a lung transplant should listen to this report. It is very hopeful information.
    Although I was denied a transplant at the UofW, Stanford Medical in Ca. has agreed to list me after a few…[Read more]

    Patricia Hayden replied to the topic The Dramatic Highs and Lows of Living with IPF. in the forum Young Adults Living with Pulmonary Fibrosis (40 & Under) 4 years, 2 months ago

    The highs and lows used to be more in number then now. I think acceptance has been my biggest help. This has come about slowly and is still not 100 percent everyday and probably never will be. But as I let go of the control , it becomes easier. My belief in God has helped greatly and has grown as I deal with this disease and phase of my…[Read more]

    Patricia Hayden replied to the topic My transplant journey in the forum Pre/Post Lung Transplant 4 years, 3 months ago

    Thank you for sharing your story. I go in December 4th for the final appointments needed to get on “the list”. My story is similar to yours. Going along doing ok, then wham, I had a flare that put me on 02 24/7. That was one year ago. I am afraid of the surgery but hopeful that I will have more time with my dearly loved husband and family. I turn…[Read more]

    Thanks for the positive sharing. I go in for evaluations on December 4. All my appointments will be on one day. I have been on O2 for 1 year (24/7) 65 year old. I want to have a better life and enjoy retirement with my wonderful husband.

    Patricia Hayden replied to the topic Dealing with Negativity in the forum Caregivers and Spouses 4 years, 3 months ago

    So sorry to hear of your pain that you are currently dealing with. My heart goes out to you. I remember the waves from 30 years ago when my Father passed at age 67. Way to early.

    Patricia Hayden replied to the topic Even Our Best Efforts to Stay Healthy Sometimes Fail in the forum Living with Pulmonary Fibrosis: 50+ 4 years, 4 months ago

    So sorry you ended up in the ER last night. We can only do so much for ourselves let alone what others do. Because I am an ex-smoker ( still think about it) I can usually smell tobacco first. Never thought of that as a gift.
    When I saw the title of your blog, I related to my best efforts I have made and being set back by this disease in it self.…[Read more]

    Patricia Hayden replied to the topic Introductions & Welcome! in the forum Using Our Forums 4 years, 4 months ago

    Not sure where to post this, so this was my choice. I have PF and am in the process of getting on the list for a transplant.
    I experience daily, hot and cold (alternating) body condition. The hot is so hot I sweat and the cold is such I put on more clothing to stay warm. Does anyone else experience this. It happens almost all the time and it is…[Read more]

    I just wanted to let you know that I would love to take credit for Daughter (Step) Laceys wonderful attributes, but I would have to say it is her real Mother Kathy, who has taught her kids how to care.

    Patricia Hayden replied to the topic Post-Vacation Blues in the forum Join the Discussion: Welcome to all PF/IPF Patients 4 years, 4 months ago

    I too am looking at making a possible move to Florida from Washington State. Husband and I had dreams of going to a retirement community there. Dream has been ongoing for about 10 years. Of course this is an active retirement center and hope to participate after lung transplant if God is willing to have us there. I decided yesterday to contact the…[Read more]

    I was diagnosed with Polymyocitis in 1995 about age 35. Really have no idea except maybe hereditary. When they finally diagnosed me, along with other medications they put me on prednizone. 40mg. I went batty. I was put on anti depressant and that helped. I take pred. now for the Poly and still take the antidepressants. Although my choice is to…[Read more]
