I'm very fortunate. The University of Chicago is one of the top hospitals in the country. Back in the 80's I was having upper chest pain and went to the ER. They found bronchiectasis in many areas.

We lost a very dear friend last month. Since then a few of us got togethor and picked out 2 to 3 people to give our email address to or phone number or both. This way if we dont hear from you in awhile someone has away of checking up on you. I just thought I would bring it to everyones attention in case you might be interested in doing this.

I am curious how many of you are taking prednisone on a permanent basis. I, like everyone else used to take prednisone is bursts and only for a flare up. But starting last year my baseline numbers were so consistently low, my pulmonologist determined I need to take it all the time. My current dosage is 20 mg every other day. Prednisone is such a two headed dragon :( It helps with your breathing, but all the side effects! Weight gain, sweating etc.... Tough to deal with.

I placed an order and received a confirmation number , however, I have not received notice of a shipment.
I read about the product mentioned in a post.
I cannot seem to find contact information except for a mail address.
Thanks for your help
