Thanks to everyone for the suggested products. Reviewing all this week.

@lenchiksf thank you! Yes I’ve had a brochiiscopy and what feels like a million tests for everything under the sun (even desert fever and I’ve never been in any of those areas). It doesn’t seem to be from Mexico but maybe bubbling up for months and Mexico just kicked it off. Tests show slightly elevated eosinophils (500) but really high IgE (2700). We flew to Rochester yesterday and first appt with pulm tomorrow! Looking forward to a team that will uncover a lot more than my team has done at home. I’ve only had one CT scan when they sent me to ER with no contrast - their reasoning is the second X-ray shows improvement. I don’t know enough to argue - this is so new to me. They have moved me to four different pulmonologists and this last one seems happy to call it severe persistent asthma and willing to say “we don’t know what caused it but insurance accepts your meds with that diagnosis so we are just going to treat symptoms moving forward”. Okay that’s good that we have meds but I’d really like to be off prednisone and I’d like a little more assurance before I start dupixent. Will let you know what Mayo finds out!

Mine was left lower lobe, so i had to have CT guided biopsy. It makes sense that 2nd xray shows improvement as they are taking part of the nodule lol:) either via broncoscopy or biopsy 🙂 mine was 2cm to start with and now 8mm. I had pulm and ID md working together! Good luck tomorrow !
