I have noticed that in the past few months, I make a rattling/wheezing/really odd noise that isn't like my asthma sounds like. If I turn onto my right side, it gets really hard to breathe. I have had a sleep study in the past month and was told I have mild sleep apnea and may need more sinus and nasal surgery in the possibly near future but if possible, need to try to lose weight (am going to check into a lap band procedure), and we'll see if that helps first. It seems like each day I notice something different with either my breathing or other aspects of fibromyalgia. I have a list of things that am trying to get checked out and in best condition to improve as many other aspects of my health in hopes it might help with the fibro. It's not been easy, but I keep praying it will help. I'm trying to get an appointment with someone who can help me figure out if these noises and the breathing problems are from the weight gain or what. I quit smoking almost a year ago and it seems my breathing hasn't gotten any better, so either I have residual issues from smoking or the weight gain or who knows what. Best of luck to you all and I will try to regain and retain a positive attitude  "A pearl is a beautiful thing that is produced by an injured life. It is the tear [that results] from the injury of the oyster. The treasure of our being in this world is also produced by an injured life. If we had not been wounded, if we had not been injured, then we will not produce the pearl."

"MDJunction to me is a life saver... when i first was diagnosed with Scheuermann's Disease i wrote a message to a page i found on google, hoping that they could help me.... you'd never know it but that weird feeling (you know that one where it feels like someone actually cares) came over me when i opened my email next day to find that someone on the other side of the world (at the American Medical Library)had read my message while i was sleeping, and there low and behold was the address to MDJunction.... well it is everything to me, i live it breathe it and love it!!!!! I have found many people who are struggling with similar issues banding together to help each other. It is the best place in the world, and i couldn't think of another place to go to meet so many lovely people....
) or did your family doctor diagnose you? I have had bouts of bronchitis and/or pneumonia every year since I was 4 years old. I had double pneumonia and almost died. I was really dumb to have started smoking knowing my family was told then I would have weak lungs for the rest of my life but I figured they didn't really know that since medical procedures would so out of date then. I've not always made the best decision and I had started smoking around 13
