Need Help Recovering From Respiratory Failure
Need Help Recovering From Respiratory FailurePosted By Je (Pa) on 09/12/2022
Hi, I've been asked to contact Ted from Thailand about a serious problem. In early May I was rushed to the hospital in critical condition with respiratory failure. I contracted a bioweapon that shut my lungs down. Even though the covid tests were negative, I sustained serious lung damage. I was also given massive steroids and had to go to a rehabilitation hospital as I could not walk. I slowly improved and was sent home with visiting nurses. Recently I had several Pulminary function tests and a meeting with a Physician's aid. I was told that my lungs were so severely damaged that I would need a double lung transplant if I was to survive. I was very distressed at this and cannot sleep right. My p.t. says I am improving and that I need a second opinion. I started eating raw garlic again at the behest of a friend, and my breathing seems a little better. I am still on inhaled steroids and neb and get out of breath quickly. What can be done to regenerate my lung tissues? I had a doctor who wanted to know how to heal people but they would not teach him how to do it in med school. Please advise. -J
