Re: Breathing Issues

Hi Sassy,
If you still have some SOB I would go have it checked out to be on the safe side--and for pure peace of mind. I agree with Elaine...at least go get a chest X-ray. When it doubt...check it out is my motto. HA.

Plus I just know you will worry yourself sick about it--because we all do when we have a new symptom. The mind always goes "there". I just hate that. But it sure is nice when you find out it's nothing serious. (Maybe your just noticing your breathing more since you were taken off the prednisone?) Just a thought? Let us know if it improves over the weekend?
