             I have a habit of always check everything out.
             I read up on it. I don't just take the words of a doctor at face value.
             
             It's my life and I want to know what's really going on.

    I know the pain you went through, Brenda. It's horrible when you can't take a fine, deep breath. I suffer every night because of breath shortness. My oxygen level is always 96 to 98. Doct said that I have anxiety. I hope you are doing well.
    Best wishes...

       It's definitely a feeling I don't want again...oxygen at 50.
       But no one seems to be able to pinpoint a cause.. not yet.
       Take care of yourself.

    Years ago when I was little my brother got real sick and after they did all kinds of tests they had no reason why? Ever since he has been good this is forty-five years later. Some things we may never know. Our body is trying to tell us something? Keep getting better. Let the doctors do their thing. Try to eat healthy and exercise and get proper sleep. I am no doctor but that is what they always tell me. I only have time to do one of the three. I keep trying to fit the other two in.The bottom line we want you around for a long,long time. A world of blessings and it is not even Thanksgiving yet.
