@catmom777- Awww, I certainly hope so. Make your call to the doctor's first thing in the AM and get an early appointment as you can. That will help. You have to find out what is causing the blood in your cough. Hang tight, it's only a few hours from not. If you are in pain, bad pain then go to the ER! Please pay attention to coughing up blood. If you do go, which I think right now I'm inclined to think would be a good idea make sure that you bring the doctors up to date on everything. Be honest, don't hide anything.
Please let me know what you find out.

@catmom777 To answer your question, Yes, you can feel good again. I felt like death warmed over for many years. I couldn't breathe very well, I coughed non-stop, and just about every muscle in my torso was pulled from constant and oftentimes violent coughing. Once I got the proper care and my lungs cleared from mac infection, my life totally changed. I never imagined that I could feel well again. In fact, I was certain I would die at the age of 58 like my mother did. Just take control of your health. Learn all you can about it, and do a mental check with yourself. Even if you cannot fully recover from something; you still have to tell yourself that you will. You would be amazed at the power of your own mind. Oftentimes, you become what you believe.
