Diane, have they tested for mycobacteria? Reason I ask is because that is usually a different sputum test than the regular one. it can take several weeks to get the results back. When I had a mycobacteria my lung function dropped dramatically (from the 70s to the 50s) and I had low grade fevers and night sweats. Maybe they've already done that, but it wouldn't hurt to ask. Thanks for the serum sickness link. I do hope you're able to get better soon! ~Juliet

Diane,

I'm glad that your FEV1 was up one number and the FVC was also slightly up. Not the big leaps we like to see, but at least it's going in the right direction!<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Please let us know how the 2nd sed rate and the rheumotologist appt comes out!

Mycobacteria was the first thing my Dr. mentioned the day they did the blood work and sputum sample, So i am going to guess he is testing for that. I'll have to ask him...... Thanks <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
