Spend 2 1/2 hours with the lung doctor today. Had a ton of function tests done, X-rays, EKG's and so forth. I definitely have some sort of inflamation in my bronchial tubes, although we are not sure if its been there, if its from chem exposure or from Pneumonia. My PFT's were a little low but they did not say that I had anything such as COPD or Asthma. I have to go back in two weeks for another x-ray and get some blood work done tomorrow. I am also on two inhalers twice a day for the next 2 weeks.

On a good note, today has been one of the best days since I came down with what ever I have! I a actuallly about to head to work for the first time in 3 weeks. I really hope I continue to recove, although it has been a slow process.
 
So it turns out that two other guys that were exposed to the chemicals the night of my original SOB also have some symptoms... mainly fatigue and not feeling like themselves. I wonder if it could actually end up being something neurological. I am also concerned about needing legal representation at this point. I have noticed it is very hard for me to concentrate and I feel as if I am in a brain fog. I noticed I am a little shakey.

Then again we could all have a virus and be sick... but wouldn't someone be better by now? No one has any sort of relief. There are just too many variables.
 
Tested positive for Mycoplasma on the 10th of this month. Doctor also told me my IgG was high and that I may develop asthma later in life. I have been feeling better over the last few weeks and have been back to work! Although, the last few days I have been some what short of breath... I think it's related to anxiety though. The Doc seems to think my case is mild enough to resolve on my own, but he gave me a 21 day course of Doxycycline just in case.

Anyone have any experience with this?
 
I haven't had any experience with this but I hope you feel better! I really hope it resolves on it's own for you. I went through bacterial pneumonia once (inhaled dry wall dust from work) and even after the "infection" was gone it was weeks before I felt "ok". I was on an inhaler for awhile. I don't have anxiety so that probably helped.
