Hi Jane,
I know exactly how you feel - I had part of my lung removed Jan 2004 and
have been having these feelings ever since - I had reduced lung capacity
befoe the surgery from ARDS from a near fatal auto accident. Now it is
even worse - my pulmonologist keeps trying new asthma medication but
nothing makes it any better. I've made a copy of the letter to the
doctor from this website and am taking him a copy. I've also lost a lot
of weight because even eating a little bit makes me feel very full -
I've only half joked that when they took out my lung they must have
taken some of my stomach while they were in there.
Only it's no joke.
I've only just found this website and I know from the message that you
probably won't see this for awhile but it really helps reading your mail
and telling my story.
