Hi everybody. I've been dealing with FM for 15 yrs now. Not under control(although, after reading the posts here I don't think FM is ever really under control). Have not found good doctor and finances have been tight all these years.
Anyway, you guys understand how I must be feeling. Add to that pneumonia and on top of that my doctor says there is a mysterious artifact in my left lung found on xray today. She is sending the xrays to a specialist. So I'm left worrying for the weekend.
I did have a pulmonary embolism (blood clot in the lungs) on in the left lung 6 yrs ago. I let her know that and she said it may scar tissue from the embolism.
So I looked it up, and apparently this can happen and can cause pulmonary hypertension, which can be very serious and can lead to heart failure!
The symptoms I have all of them but I thought these were issues from FM and also thought I was developing CFS.
Anyway, i'll be worrying all weekend.
Thanks for lending an ear and if anyone has any insight, please reply.
