I didn't think of it that way before. You're right, if each of us know approximately 3 people that does add up to a lot. I agree, there isn't a lot of press and I find that other than my family and friends, when I talk to strangers about LC they don't know what I'm talking about. My symptoms are: shortness of breath which is made worse by hot, humid weather and cold weather, chest pain, heart palpitations, dizziness, brain fog, fatigue - I sleep up to 15 hours a day/night, upset stomach, headaches, occasional vomiting.

About 4 months ago I've started sweating excessively every night and I wake up and my pajamas are absolutely soaked. It's awful and way worse than when I was going through menopause. I'm also starting to sweat like crazy during the day. This week I started having changes to my sense of smell and taste. It amazes me that I've had LC for almost 3 years and I'm still getting new symptoms! What are your symptoms? What will they do for you at the Immunology Practice? I was going to Pulmonary Rehab for my shortness of breath and heart issues and it helped somewhat, but of course not as much as I was hoping.

So far the immuno. is starting w/ 32 blood tests(!) and an asthma test that I finally failed! That sounds crazy, but I kept on testing normal, and then brushed off. So I’m thrilled. It was an unusual test, one I haven’t had before.
Have you seen the LC threads on sweating here? You are not the only one… and I’m not experiencing that anymore— THANK HEAVEN!!
Have you been in a treatment clinic? Your symptoms sound awful.
These are my highlights:
breathing, fatigue (!!), brain fog, dizziness, and syncope, hormonal turbulence— currently thyroid and adrenals—, and problems with swallowing. Other sundry stuff (blurry vision, hair falling out, exercise intolerance, some Neuro stuff).
