Hi Annie, thanks for your welcome. A 2nd or 3rd opinion is a good idea. I was lucky to have been able to see this new Dr who diagnosed me with Sjogren's Syndrome, the "dry eye, dry mouth" disorder. On the 24th of April I return to visit this new Doc, as well as a Rheumatologist. My current pulmonologist folded his arms and crossed his legs and said, "I don't know what's wrong with you." Great. Stay on 40 mg Prednisone. That was Sept 11, 2018. Was having very much difficulty with my breathing, I was gasping like a fish out of water after climbing 1 slight of stairs. He kept telling me to hang tight, do another CT Scan in 2 months. In the meantime, I was having pretty low O2 sat rates. I will probably ask the Pulm why he didn't run more tests, etc. to TRY to find out what is wrong with me. This could have been done last fall. I see $$ signs all over.

@suziropiequet Hi Suzi, there was something that I read in your post that said you were having difficulty breathing, can I ask you if this was because of your condition or after you started on Prednisone. I get very out of breath also when climbing and sometimes just walking causes it. Was wondering if this is also a side affect of Prednisone...and also if anyone else has this? Would appreciate any feedback.
