    Alright, I know this has probably been talked about a lot, but at this point I just have to ask. Seeing the post about Transplant Preparation and seeing those photos has put the fear of God in me, so to speak. I expected pain involved, but I never expected...well, I guess I was stupid to...

    Sinuses worse than lungs?

    Hello, all! I was just wondering if anyone else thinks that their sinuses are just as much if not more of a problem than your lungs! I just recently had a doctor's appointment where I did a PFT. The numbers were down, but when my doc listened to my lungs, he said that I was moving air very...

    Chills after Therapy

    Hello, guys (and gals) ^_^ I wondered if anyone else gets chills/feverish symptoms after they do their treatments. I don't get them all the time, but if I've missed a few days of my regimen (say, 3-5), when I restart I get a headache and chills. I've taken my temperature, thinking it was a...
