  Carol,
  Would love to hear about your pulmonary rehab experience. Is this the first time you are doing it? Will you be with other patients from your PH clinic? I hope your team is able to go over the CT scan with you and decide on a plan of action. Getting that plan can be anxiety provoking and sometimes the “wait” is the hardest part. We are all here to vent to in the meantime!

Carol. that is enough for now, lol. Actually, it is best to take on treatments and anything else new, a few at a time. That way if you either improve, have symptoms or get worse, you and the doctor and figure out easier what is causing it.

  So true , Colleen! I really dislike doing a lot of treatments at once ! It makes it harder for me and my team to know what is causing more symptoms. Managing things and trying to get the right therapies and treatments can be a long process and a lot of trial and error. As much as we wish we could just snap our fingers and make things better. Unfortunately that’s now how chronic illness works. Hard to accept that sometimes.
