Wheezing, Asthma, Only Prednisone helps sleep

[Madalot]

I found that as well and posted about it. My post got deleted before I could refresh my screen.

[Pugsy]

Does anyone want me to put the removed posts back? Or if anyone wants to see them they are there to read if you scroll through the posts after you hit the reply button.

Personally, I am done with this troll. I have better things to do.

Where is that "Don't feed the troll" sign.
That is the best way to deal with these types.

[DoriC]

Don't bother Pugsy, you especially have better things to do on this forum!

[Pugsy]

This post of mine was apparently spam deleted.

This type of childish behavior has pretty much has cleared up any doubts we have about this person.

[Pugsy]

Point of education for the dude hitting the spam delete button.
They aren't totally gone. We can all bring them back really easy and you are making a butthead of yourself.

Here you go.
I can keep putting them back as long as you want to keep removing them. It is so simple and I have all night.

So far these have been removed and not by the authors.

Don't know how long this one will stay up but abuse of spam button is a big no no.

Yep, Maddy,
I see you noticed it also.

For those who are reading this thread, 50mg is a very high dose of Prednisone. Long term use of Prednisone can be very dangerous if done without the supervision of a Dr and it requires a slow weanning off to avoid an Adrenal Crisis that can result in death!

As others have indicated.... "I'm done on this thread"

I saw your earlier post. It still shows if you scroll through the posts after you hit the reply button.
Someone spam deleted it. Want to take bets on who?

The OP has been repeatedly asking medical questions of me in PM's (and I suspect many others as well, from the responses here) and each time I have directed her to discuss her concerns with her doctor.

This public forum is not the place to seek medical advice.

If the OP persists, I think it's time to ask for Johnny Goodman to step in.

Edited to mention..I replied to this thread earlier today, probably third or fourth response, in it I stated in CAPS to go see a doctor. Somehow my response was deleted, obviously the op didn't like it.
Time to not ever respond to sickwithapnea17's threads...EVER!!!

Madalot wrote:You are correct, Dori. The last thread by this person -- I posted a pretty straight forward "if you are for real, you need a caregiver or healthcare advocate to help you get these issues addressed - people on an internet forum cannot help" --

And yet another thread pops up.



DoriC wrote:I'm with Pugsy on this, there's something else going on here that's making me wonder??? Nobody I know just pops 50mg of prednisone at night to sleep. On the contrary, most drs will tell you not to take prednisoneanywhere close to bedtime and anyone who's taken it can tell you why. With regular tapered dosing prescribed by my dr even when I get down to 10-20mg I'm still jumping out of my skin and have a hard time falling asleep even when taken in the morning. Also my RX is always for the exact amount the Dr wants me to take with strict instructions for tapering and I never have any pills left over. This person needs more help than we can give him, I'm afraid




Pugsy wrote:No, no. I knew what you meant. My response was directly entirely at Sleepwithapnea17 and no one else.
The asthma discussion with OP has been discussed before many times (ad nauseam) along with all sorts of other self diagnosis/self treat off the wall crap. He/she either doesn't listen by choice, is yanking our chains for attention or is just plain stupid.

If any of you newbies are maybe thinking I am a being awfully harsh...take the time to read OP numerous other posts. Make up your own mind. There is a reason that most of the veteran forum members have stopped posting responses to this person.

Quite honestly, I think yanking our chains for grins but on the off chance really needing help...this isn't the place for someone who cannot or will not follow the simplest basic suggestions. All are ignored. Either that or someone is really sick and not physically.... No matter which, this forum can't help this type of person.[/quote]




Heck, I am tired.. the rest are all there as will this one if you spam delete it.

[Pugsy]

Might as well leave the posts up here dude...let people see the real you. I have nothing else to do today but keep putting them back. If you will leave this thread alone I will let it die and move off the page.
If you keep removing my posts....I will keep putting them back. It takes me all of 2 seconds to do it so it is not a huge amount of work for me to do. I am just stubborn enough to do it.

This is what I said in another thread, which was also deleted. SWA is NOT online at the moment, so these will probably remain until SWA is listed as online...then they'll be gone again.

Sickwithapnea17 --

I have read post after post, thread after thread, from you begging (demanding???) help from people here. People give you sound advice, but you never take it, just starting yet another thread asking the same questions over and over again.

Assuming you are NOT a troll that is getting their jollies irritating people here and really are plagued by so many medical issues that doctors are not addressing...

You need to find a qualified care giver/medical advocate to help you sort out your medical problems and get them addressed. The people here have really given you a TON of good advice, none of which you have taken.

Please ask a real person (not people on an internet forum) to help you sort out and resolve your medical problems.

For me, I will not be reading or addressing your posts any longer. Good luck to you.

[Pugsy]

Yeah, I saw that too. If he will leave the posts alone I will let the thread die and move off the page and with the traffic we have here it won't take but a day. If he doesn't want to leave the posts alone and wishes to continue spam deleting them we can just keep putting them back and and I just stubborn enough to keep doing it because he has pissed me off. Pissing off a redhead is not a smart thing to do.

Of course on the other hand..if he keeps spam deleting the posts the forum moderators might finally do something about it...

Copying your post here so that I have them all on my clipboard for quick and easy replacement.

I'm with you Pugsy! 100% with you on all counts.

Up until the post deletions, a part of me was willing to believe he was just a very, very, very unhealthy individual that really needs medical attention. After the deletions, I have other thoughts about who this and what's actually going on...anybody been around here a while probably knows what I'm referring to.

Childish games that I wouldn't tolerate from MY children...

Let's see how long these stay...

[Janknitz]

After deleting my posts here, the OP is again PMing me for advice.

What a silly game.

You really ought to stop doing this. There are way more of us than there are of you.

You need some serious help. How about you go get it, huh?

What a child.

[Madalot]

Ho hum...

keep deleting pal...just keeping deleting. Your spam removal privileges will be deleted as well as soon as the administrators see it.

[sickwithapnea17]

But what can you do to increase your FEV1? I take all my inhalers regularly but I'm still stuck in the 60s now for FEV1?
is it because I'm not getting enough bipap therapy?

[howkim]

You need to be in regular consultation with a pulmonologist, not your family doctor.

I second that motion. I see my PCP for my asthma only because he is also a pulmonologist.
