Hi Terri. My name is Karla. I am glad I found this group too There seems to be so much guess work with this diagnosis which can really frustrate me. I gave up the garden last year as the previous year my husband had to finish everything since I was so sick at the end of the season in 2017. Thankfully we started making all the flower beds smaller the year before the diagnosis. I have always enjoyed being outside even with the environment allergies that I deal with as well as asthma. I use Albuterol Sulfate in the nebulizer twice a day. sometimes three times a day. Then I use the Acapella, postural drainage, and incentive spirometer at least 4 times a day. I have a goal of staying out of the hospital for another year now. I do plan to read through a lot of the information provided. i will definitely be in touch with you as I look through all of the information with questions I may have. One question that I do have is about antibiotics. I am making a point to wash my hands more regardless of anything else. I don't like the idea of being isolated at all, so I will have to be more aware of my habits now. Thank you for all of your help.
