Thank you for your response Tutti. My situation is similar to yours, I had started coughing up blood, other than that I felt healthy. The meds have completely depleted my energy level, not to mention all foods now taste salty making it difficult to eat much or keep it down. The hives have spread to every inch of me, except my face. Thank you for that.
I'm seeing my pulmonologist today and plan on asking for a reduction or at least spacing the meds out to three days a week. I understand that some people are able to do that. I wish you the best with this, it came as a shock to me also. Do I understand that your Dr did not immediately start you on the drugs. If thats the case, I'd like to hear more about it.
Would like to find a support group in the South Florida area, feeling pretty isolated right now.
