r.
I have other medical conditions which I have been obsessing about, one of them is a pain condition so I wasnt really moving about a lot and I am on morphine too... I have asthma so the breathlessness etc I believed was just attacks.. For a couple of years I have been tired, I mean exhausted unable to walk up the kitchen so was diagnosed cfs.. Sept last year I was given a blood test and found to have severe anemia blood counts down in the 6 area, so put the sob down to that... Guess the pain and anemia became a priority and everything else took back seat.. I also had surgery in feb on my shoulder..

So shortness of breath was anemia, never walked far enough to realise how bad it was, the morphine masked it all and pain in my upper back was from surgery..

The gp ordered a spirometry test in April and my fev1 came back as 43 , which is moderate in some places, but severe with nice and gold

How strange, my sister has asthma and she is completely exhausted all the time she sleeps for England! She has low blood oxygen too. I suppose it is all connected. You sound like you have been through the mill and I hope things start to look up for you now.
What was the op on your shoulder for? It wasn't a frozen shoulder was it? I had one a few years ago Excruciatingly painful and I am not soft,believe me, but that was horrendous. The hospital said I could have a manipulation under anaesthtic but I declined. It just got better naturally.

Yea it was frozen shoulder, I have it bilateral so quite limiting.. Had capsular release in feb on the right side, but no better then I began range of movement is worse...
