Those that know me, please excuse any info that has already been talked about in length in the past,, this i smor elike an additon with ongoing and newer issues that are linked to the past...
I was healthy when I was very young and in the USAF. I got sick in the USAF from chemcials, and left and worked in fields without chemicals. MY father died of COPD.
I got pancreatic disease linked to the USAF. I have suffered from Pnumunia inthe past too, and have had breathing problems for decades, but the necrotizing pancreatits affects many organs.
I was in hosptial bed for 6 months and on a feeding tube and took many years to eat and walk again. My lungs have had issues with breathing for decades, but the breathing issues came up bad with the pancreatic disease. Beforre then only pnumonia was my only lung problem experience and that was on active duty.and have had so many problem with my nasal passages, and have had severe discharge of material from my nose, and in the last couple of years I have had very thick stuff. Actually the feeding tube caused me great node and nasal problems and I had growths inthere and also the feeding tubes when they would remove on or they would expels themselves (violently) out of my intestines and nose when they became green color with looked like bacteria..
coming out my nose and was like silicone so thick, a horrific smell like sulfur for aat least a decade... and the white stuff was just like silicon out of the tube you can buy,, and also turned hard and would break out of my skin with blood.
The doctors were of no help, they would jsut brush it off..
my percentage of oxygen has been going down over the yars and lots of blood pressure problems.
I am still suffering with leg swelling, but not the feet.
lately that silcone has turned to a rubber, foam and liquid, both and either just collectsdvery fast or I have viloent sneezes and I get rolls and blocks of it out of my nose.
I have had lots of pain for years up in my chest and I can't tell if it is from the pancreas of lungs themselvs.,,, and not I am expelling large chunks of rubbey frothing chunks and liquid, and am not sure what else I have now.
I have the VA for my health provider and they are not so good at helping me, as they are not very good with people with so many really serious issues.
I have had so many doctors come and go, and I get so frustrated with trying to get help with all these issues,, they just usually take tests and , as with the
pancreatic disease they told me they cannot help me, but just give me meds. I am wondering if anyone else has these issues with these nasal and lung discharges,
Always out of breath. I am afraid to start yapping about it to my wife, she hates to hear me with all my issues and she says she cannot handle the pressure, and I read to
see what is wrong, the doctors just don't help much. I just want to know if soemone else experiences the dicharge out the nose, mouth etc..
oh yeah, forgot about the blood pressure and heart beat all over the place. I am in my mid 60's now. Thanx for any info on experince with this... I am not sure what to make of this rubbery, hardish and soft foamy stuff coming out of my lungs...
