Setup:”Even though I’m having this MRI feeling, I deeply love and accept myself”Tapping silently whist reading what I have already written below and adding to it:Yesterday, I had the MRI scan. Today, I got the results, showing a thickening in the bronchial wall where I had always complained of trouble. Luckily, through what I believe is my efforts at giving up smoking and exercising over the years and keeping that part of the lung open during an infection, I have no signs of emphysema. Now, the lung doc, which we paid a lot of money for a diagnosis, says he thinks it’s a “kind of asthma” because “it responded to the steroids” on the spirometer test, although I was on steroids and antibiotics together. I knew that I felt almost no difference with the steroids and that my lungs still have half the capacity compared to last year. I asked how come it’s only in one part of the left lung, and he said it’s in both and the spirometer shows that I have responded to the steroids. I knew the spirometer showed that I had responded to the the medication, including strong antibiotics, but had no way of telling if I had responded to the steroids.Now steroids fuzz your brain, so I forgot that my lungs responded similarly the last time I had the chance of getting strongenough antibiotics, and I forgot to say that I did not consider this a conclusive test. When will the medics figure out thatyou can’t test two variables at once and decide for yourself which one worked? Why can’t they think like scientists? I alsoforgot to say that when I was indeed on all the asthma medication and had started an exercise program to build up my lungsagain, I was still coughing up so much, I ended coughing up blood, as that part of my left lung would close up with mucus whenI used to sleep for long enough not to cough for a few hours. Otherwise, I used to do a big cough every 10 minutes, from thatpart of my lung, despite all the steroids. So if that was only a kind of asthma, how come despite all the medication and doingcardiovascular exercise, I still had a problem in one particular part of my left lung? It only eased when I moved on with thecardiovascular equipment well past the pain barrier to 45 minutes at a time, and then on to two aerobics classes one after thenext on a regular basis. Then my lungs were fine (except for some pain or obstruction on the lower left part of my lungsometimes) , I was able to give up the steroids and all inhalers, except on the rare occasion when I got a chest infection andwould need the inhaler taken aimed at that part of my left lung until I got antibiotics. Later, I used a herbalist, who wasreally good, and I intend going to herbal antibiotics and antivirals when finances improve further, as I prefer their compoundsto taking antibiotics all the time. I genuinely do not believe that that part of my left lung is not permanently damaged. Andthat is not just asthma, and I really don’t care how much he says so, but I have no more money available for tests and can’tsee the point right now. I’m quite happy to accept the idea that it’s partly some special kind of smoking-related asthma andpart permanent damage, but just asthma doesn’t make sense. I did not argue also because he said he was getting me to have theNHS physiotherapy treatment so that I learn how to expel trapped mucus from that part of my lung. And that is a great plus.It will take a whole day out of my week at a time, but I am going to go and see what can be done. I was hoping to get moresupport rather than be labelled asthmatic and given yet more steroids; inhaled this time, disguised as a “stronger inhaler”,for which Michelle had to fork out over [data lost due to corruption of database]When you have a chronic physical condition, anything that either emotionally or physically has a negative impact on you can make the condition worse.
