I started Symdeko April 19th. It started to affect my mood (depression and anxiety), my hair has been shedding and giving me slight acne. I decided to stop taking Symdeko mainly due to the depression and anxiety issue. I have not felt like myself in awhile. I made the decision to stop the Symdeko and the Effexor and find another antidepressant that will hopefully work better for me. Now I’m thinking maybe I should have just stopped the Symdeko, but I didn’t think it was causing any issues until I realized that was the only new thing. Now that I’m off of the Effexor I will try my best not to go back on it if at all possible since it was so hard to come off of it. (more…)

I finished 3 weeks of IVs earlier this week. I do feel better than I did BUT I’m still having coughing attacks. I’m attributing it more to asthma though. I was offered prednisone at clinic on Friday (yesterday) but I declined for the time being. I’m going to hold off and see if treatments and such can help. We all know how much I love prednisone, NOT! My lung functions were the same at FEV1 .96L/34%. My first two attempts were 33% and my last one was the 34%. I will follow-up in 6 weeks. (more…)
