@merpreb Thank you! I will defenitly give it a try. I'm sure the hospital will let me come in super early, but it is still a very busy hospital. My blood tests were all perfect, my walk test is good... I don't know,, I really hate to expose my self to germs right now. I think the lung rumble is a side effect of going on and off prednisone this past year. I've never taken prednisone in the past. I selpt all night without my chest rumbling and woke up clear lungs- so this is good. Hopefully I will keepp improving. I'm going to place the order now for the mask inserts, I'm excited to try them!

@fracturedd - I understand completely how you feel. It's a very scary time. And it's certainly your choice whether you continue your scans or not. My thinking on this, when I had to make this same decision was to weigh the benefits of having my scan with the chance of contracting COVID-19 in a hospital or clinic setting. My experience has been that hospitals are very clean and very sanitary. Part of COVID-drain and fatigue is all the extra energy that hospital workers feel with cleaning so often. I have had several tests. The reason why I haven't delayed all of my scans is explained very well in this article:

Please give this more thought and let me know what your decision is?
