Hello Sue!
Been thinking of you. Just got results from my latest ct scan and pulmonary function test. The function test was "great". 6 min walk was "perfect". Lung scars are stable and were post infectious. They do not suspect ipf or anything like that. Im working full time but unfortunately not in my chosen loved field of health care. Dr suggested getting out as hes not sure how strong my immune system is and care homes and hospitals are the germiest places. So I was working with handicapped adults run by staff but not enough hours so I do that and work at a major supermarket. I'm always on the run. And doing a lot of stair work. No passing out nor dizziness. Respirologist still wants me to lose 40 lbs but 60 are off now. The ground glass opacities and nodules are gone. I did catch a cold but had no breathing problems. My hair is slowly growing back. I asked the pulmonologist if taking collagen is safe but he admitted he didn't know. I was taking it for 2 years before my pneumonia and it worked wonders. My gp didnt know either.
Does anyone know if collagen is safe for lungs that have had a beating but come back?
The last time I took my 02 Sue it said 98%. I then put it away permanently. THANK YOU for all of your words of encouragement especially when I was in panic mode!! 🙏🙏
