Small airway disease

Does anyone have small airway disease? I've been sick for over a month now and apparently my pulmonary function test results show SAD. I can't get in to see the pulmonologist until January 9 and the first opening for pulmonary rehab is on December 30!! I don't have many sick days left but I am on FMLA leave until December 18. If I can't breathe and my oxygen drops below 89 at school, how can I work?? I'm so frustrated that it takes so long to figure out what is going on!! When I see the pulmonologist it'll be 2.5 months of this!! Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!!

  1. I saw that you had also posted about SAD in another thread and some of our team was able to respond there. I'm sure though, if anyone else in our community has any experience with SAD to share that they will chime in. Best, Sam S. (COPD team).
