S- If I were dealing with a pulmonologist, I would print a copy of that research and hand it to the doc. It's time to enlighten a few more medical folks, don't you think?
be well, be proactive,

Thank you for the info Lulu. I just finished up a battery of pulmonary tests. The pulmologist (sp?) knew zero about MS. My spiral scan, xrays and ultrasound all came back clear. He diagnosed it as COPD. He based it on the lung function test. My neuro said it is caused by a lesion on my brain stem. The pulmologist could not answer a simple question. It was... how can we be sure it is COPD and not the lesion on my brain stem? Do I need to go on a stronger DMD since it has become worse? He played dodge ball with the question. I guess my next neuro appointment decisions will have to be made.
It really is a lonely battle when physicians have no clue.
