Well from what I could read on my med record my CT didn't show anything where theythought they saw something but I definately have emphazima-COPD and another spot they want to recheck in 3 months. The doctor didn't call me but I'm sure he will tomorrow. They seem to think I should go through with the skeweroscopy so I will talk to the nurse in that dept before I decide for sure. Still not sure about the Dietician. I explained to this nurse the reason I didn't think they would be able to really tell me anything possibly will not understand the reasoning behind the large quatities of certain vitamins. So I guess I can go and waste their time and mine armed with all my DS information and I am sure they won't get it. Oh and my pants actually felt snug this am. I think all the carbs I ate yesterday helped. I got my 100g of complex yesterday. Not sure if I will make it today,I am at 95 but not all complex.

Protein, complex carbs, water, vites, fat. Repeat. What do you need from the dietician? |

I could maybe educate them on the DS but the chance they will ever meet another DSer are slim to none and they don't seem to believe it anyway.

Pat,
So glad to hear the CT didn't show anything other than the COPD. Thanks goodness for these results. I follow NYB's advice all the time, too, she's great isn't she?!
Enjoy your day,
Kelly

Yep she is. I was hoping for quicker results but I guess she is right, I've been going the wrong direction for so long it takes time. Like the song says you are problably to young to remember"I've been down so gdamned long that it looks like up to me". It still makes me wonder why I was doing well after my catastrophic problems in 07 then all of a sudden in January I started losing weight. This time last year I was at 175 now I might be 145. This diet is really hard for me, I can get the protein in but when I add 100g of complex carbs I am stuffed all the time.

Well the CT showed nothing in the spot they were looking but it did show a 6mm lump on my left lung. Going to recheck in 3 months. Also severe COPD including scarring and some other stuff all from cigarettes. Since I am at a high risk for cancer is why they are going to recheck and go from there. I put in another call to the PCP if he is not going to send me to hemotologist I want to get VIT a,d,e and folate checked. If they won't I will ask my civilian doc.

Are you eating every 3 hours? And not too much at one time?

I am trying. What the CT scan showed was "sequelae of granulomatous disease and moderate to severe changes of centrilobular emphysema" Which I don't know what it means.

Google is your friend. But generally speaking, you have lung disease. You need to speak to your pulmonologist.
