My wife started having serious problems with her lungs about 10 years ago and she started to cough for days and she also had asthma.They tested her with prednisone and antibiotics and she would get better for a few weeks and then start all over again. She seen a pulmonologist who was finding out from blood tests that she had a rare lung disease that most doctors had never heard of it. The patients were being diagnosed with different types of lung problems from emphysema, chronic bronchitis and were not getting the treatments that would extend lives of people who were dying and in many cases could live with a fairly normal life as long as they were receiving the medication they needed. Ask your doctor to test you for Alpha -1 Antitripson disease. If you have this disease it is treated with a weekly injection that a nurse comes to your home and gives you this treatment once a week. It is covered by Medicare and Medicaid and there are drug treatment programs that will pay for the medication. If your doctor has not heard about it , we can get you the free blood test kits .
If you have not been tested for Alpha-1 Antitrypson disease. You need to get it done ASAP. Please let me know how I can help you.
