Waking up people with one bread crumb at a time. And having compassion for those who can't SEE yet, BC everyone learns at different paces!
the coin is still in the air....
After 4 months
can't get a diagnosis for my husband
more test...
i was packing to move.
then i stopped packing
thinking i was staying
then i started packing again
then i stopped again...
now i am thinking to move forward with moving
regardless of my husband condition.
i have been waiting for the coin toss to come down.
its hard to watch because 1/2 the ppl in my neighborhood are selling their homes.
Limbo is not a good place to be right now.
If you want to, talk to me about his symptoms, test results. I have a knack for figuring out medical issues. I'm sorry no one has critically thought about what is going on. I am not a medical professional. But I might steer you in the right direction.
Do you have all of the test results? If not, get them.
Have you written a list of symptoms? If not, do that.
If he had the shot, then you'll need to think in a broader sense, not only side effects/symptoms. Think immune deficiency, etc.
People can have more than one thing wrong at a time. Keeping an open mind is important. Also, diet may be playing a role. Maybe not a big one, but that might be contributing.
Blessings, Dana (& husband).💙🙏

waiting on finding out about scaring on lungs 🫁
his oxygen drops
90 to 70
getting dressed in the morning
cant work
seeking assistance
no results yet.
No jab for either of us
but they did diagnose him for covid respiratory failure
and treated him in the hosp with that bad stuff.
so we are trying to talk to
L&I
claim
cuz "covid" happened at work
or short term disability
the communication is horrible
if hubby is going to get worse
i didn't want to be living in a 24 foot trailer.
Short on time right now. I'll be back.
He needs an overnight oximetry. His O2 may drop while sleeping, which qualifies him for oxygen (oxygen concentrator). He should see a pulmonologist for that ASAP.
Be back later!!! Hang in there.
Whatever doctor diagnosed the 90 to 70 % O2 drop should have already given him a prescription for oxygen. Then he could take that (or have it faxed) to a local oxygen medical supply company. Panasonic makes a good concentrator.
Does he take vitamin D, quercetin, zinc, etc.?
Why aren't they going straight to an MRI? That would be the most accurate way to determine what's going on with his lungs. Stupid doctors. They have testing protocols: X-ray first, then CT, then MRI. Useless.
Are you sure that Covid began the scarring? Treatments? Did he work in a field where there were risks for lung damage?
His ancestry might point to being prone to certain issues (i.e., sarcoidosis).
I hope he has a good internist that can pull all of this info together. Without more info, figuring this out is near to impossible this way. I wish you both the very best. 💙 Being a patient advocate is better done in person. You could try to find one.
