Hi, Sorry for the delay in response. I've really had a struggle this past week with the c-pap. I've done things with that machine in my sleep that I don't know about until I've woke up. They told me to give it time. I tried laying and just watching TV with it on to see what it does after the ramp timer .. and it does push quite a lot of air thru and into your lungs. My rib cage ached for the first three days, but it doesn't hurt anymore. No, I haven't been tested for MS. The doctors contribute my problem to COPD and Pulmonary Hypertension, I'm being told unofficially, this past Thursday. It still does not answer my questions about my legs tho. I must admit, however, the swelling is not as intense as it was. Perhaps the combination of oxygen and the cpap are working, along with the lasix. I live in Oklahoma. If you'd like to write to me privately, please reference this website ::: ***** Thanks. ~ kat Have u been checked for Lymphedema?? **edited by moderator**

I am currently sitting in a wheel chair with tears in my eyes. I am also suffering from whayever this is. It has been comming on for about 2 years, starting slow and continueing to get worse each day. Please. where can I get help?
None of the Doctors I have seen seem to care. Once they determine I don't belong in their specialty., they just give up.I was thinking of going to the emergency room at the hospital, but after reading the letters here it dose not sound like they can help. What shall I do.
