Test Results and Treatment Changes

I visited my medical team today for my test results. The good: bloodwork was good all around. Urinalysis clean. EKG normal. CT Scan showed inflammation and possible infection. PFT test was 92% lung capacity with inhale force around 67% and exhale force at around 55%. The bad was the PFT test. It is about 12% less than it was 4 years ago. I also dropped 8 lbs. since last April. All sputum tests came back clean so far, waiting on the petri dish results yet. But no sign of infection for weight loss explanation. My doctor thinks my body is spending so much energy getting oxygen to my organs and system, that it is eating away at my weight during sleep. I wake up tired every morning. My nutrition is fine according to the bloodwork. Proper amount of nutrients and protein showed and all organs functioning normally. No sign of a hyper active thyroid. So I am going to have to do an overnight oxygen level test. If the oxygen level drops below 87% for more than 5 minutes overnight at any time, I will have to go on oxygen at night. I was also given a first injection of Dupixent. I was given enough for two months to try out and see if it helps the mucus production and inflammation. I was also given another Prednisone prescription to use as needed. Depending on the overnight oxygen test results, I will know if night time oxygen is needed or not in week or so. That's all I got for now. Take care all and God Bless!
