Pleurisy?
About a month ago following a cold I had stabbing pain in my right lung front and back, it was unbearable, though the Dr said she couldn't hear anything from my chest I was diagnosed with Pleurisy and given anti inflamories. After a time it went away, then I caught another cold and it came back, again the Dr said my chest was clear but that it was Pleurisy, when it just got worse despite pills and spread to the other lung after a week she sent me for a chest X-ray, this too came back clear, the receptionist said 'Normal no action' so my question is this, if there is no pleurisy 'rattle' apparently my heart and lungs are clear, my blood pressure is fine, the X-ray is clear, im perfectly healthy, then why do I have this pain like someones stabbing me thorough both lungs with a hot poker? I know cant get in to see my Dr this side of Easter, I have a telephone appointment on the 16th but that seems pointless, I may as well just keep taking the pills and hope for the best.
Also and i feel it is somewhat related, I seem to be ill all the time, every cold or bug going strikes me down, I have mild Vitaligo which i know is an autoimmune thing right, i dont know if this would effect my immune system, but i frequently worry that there's something else going on. some reassurance that im just being a drama queen and i dont actually have lung cancer would be great.
I am a 32 year old female I am a 10 a day smoker, (though desperately trying to quit).

my pleurisy came back with bad effects this easter,been to the docs again,yes its pleurisy im back on amoxycillin,im unsure if it will ever heal properly,my doc says any infection that hits a lung that has been damaged by ciggys etc etc scarred will take longer to heal and it will come back again.i still worry its lung cancer but all tests seem clear.
There is an herbal, known as Pleurisy Root, aka Butterfly Weed. It has bright orange flowers, which taking into consideration the Chinese "doctrine of similars", strongly resembles the aveoli of the lungs. Google it, you can find some tinctures. Try it, you might find it does you some good.
same here your talking about me the exact same symptoms as me for the past 6 months,i dont smoke well i packed in 12 yrs ago....For 6 months ive had awful stabbing pains in my right lung,takes me down sometimes but all xrays all bloods are all clear,i too have an auto immune problem.let us all know what happens please
Hey pinkcasi.
Welcome to the forum.
I can sympathize with you. All this sounds so familiar.
Pleurisy hit me back in Oct. last year, a very rare event,
as I simply do not get sick anymore. (Nothing worth mentioning anyways)
It was actually the 2nd time in my life,
and with all the holistic health knowledge and experience that I've accumulated, I didn't even go the doctor.
I used DMSO, did some self-Reiki, some self -hypnosis before bedtime, some more DMSO in the morning and off I went to work. I was functional!!! Two more days like this and it went away.
One thing that you must be aware of, is that there's an emotional component to EVERY illness! Also, there's a memory of this in the cells.
Not in the brain cells but in the tissues. And should this memory get activated by a trigger, like a stressor that has a specific frequency
possibly connected to the original event, then symptoms or even the illness itself may appear, without any medical etiology.
The same thing is likely manifesting in the so-called "autoimmune" Vitaligo.
The mechanism that activates this process, has not been eliminated,
as it has never been discovered.
It is a genetic predisposition, until an "activator" causes a gene expression, turning this gene from its dormant state into an active state,
causing the melonocytes to self-distruct-according to one theory.
I cured my Alopecea Aerata (similar condition) with a paste of Limestone powder with my saliva applied over the affected areas and serious self-hypnosis to eliminate the activator( excessive stress and ptsd).
This was many years ago and it worked!
Quit smoking! Seriously you can do it. it's much easier than what your mind is telling you. Do you believe everything you think? That can be dangerous!
Go to the normal breathing website for breathing re-training.
Once you start breathing properly, your desire to smoke will be lessened as normal breathing simulates smoking (or the other way around).
No, you're not a drama Queen. Maybe a drama Princess! lol!
The x-ray would have shown something. Right?
What are the pills you are mentioning? Are you sure you need to continue
taking them? Can you at least call your Pharmacist to ask him?
Post again or pm me if you need more info or support.
Wish you well.
