Extreme fatigue with MAC

@windwalker Hi Terri, thanks again. I may look into Dr. Levanthal. I too have a not so good HMO. Do you think that will be a problem for me to see him with an HMO? Maybe I connect with @alleycatkate Kathy and we can go to Mayo together. How nice would it be to meet you there as well. Something like this would be so much easier supporting one another. Terri would I just call mayo directly and ask for an appointment with him. Any direction with this would be greatly appreciated and hopefully Kathy will see this post and we can connect and move forward. Hugs Dee

@alleycatkate Hi Kathy, I would this journey with you for sure!! As I said on my post to Terri, I too have to check on my HMO, I guess Mayo would answer that. I’m wondering how do we start this. Do we call Mayo directly? I asked Terri for some guidance on how to begin. Kathy, thankyou so much for sharing your daily routine. I am walking every night and I too will begin adding exercise to it. I’ve started my vitamin D again and will look into the one you mentioned. I said to Terry @alleycatkate how wonderful it would be if we start this trip and met her at Mayo. BTW, yeah my gp said I’m not symptomatic but I’m confused because I have sob, mucus(its not clear at times) and fatigue, so aren’t those symptoms? So I’ll have to discuss with him what he meant by that at my next appt.... I too want to be well and be proactive. As you said many different opinions and approaches are a little overwhelming and this is new to me so in the end I hope I know what I am doing. Please stay in touch and let me know what your next step is. Terri if you read this thank you so much for always responding. Hugs Dee

@jkiemen Thankyou so much for responding. Wow 7 months. I hope so much that it helps you. I did the 3 treatment for a couple of weeks and then stopped. I’m not sure if that was the right thing to do but I just started feeling ill. So now I’m just trying to learn as much as I can. I’m so happy for all of the information I‘m learning from this group. Thank you for sharing what you do to stay healthy. I’m trying be more active and healthier and as proactive as I can. I have follow-up appointments so we’ll see what they say . I get frightened and a little overwhelmed at times, I’m not gonna lie so the best thing I can do is just move forward and stay healthy and proactive and see what the next few weeks bring me after I see my pulmonologist again. Continued health and success with your treatment please keep posting I’d love to know how you are doing. Hugs Dee

@soflo...It would be wonderful to journey there (Mayo) together...but if we are not able to because of our HMO's...Please keep in mind we can go on this journey together anyway. It was great talking and I feel really good about us both going forward and fighting this. Be cool (as NY gals can be) and positive....and Call anytime you feel like chatting. Be well. Kate

@soflo, Hello Dee. I am just glad that you found us. Feel free to check in on Connect when you can, or want to. I would imagine that working while battling this disease takes a lot out of you. Stay strong my friend! Hugs, Terri.
