    Wow, your pre diagnosis story is a lot like mine. I had been complaining for years about my shortness of breath and was ignored and placated, so I blamed myself. When I finally went into full blown heart failure it was too far advanced for just oral medication. In the 6 years since diagnosis I’m on o2 24/7 and on 3 different medications one which is IV and I’ve been on death’s door 3 times. Please remember to advocate for yourself if you feel your being dismissed get a 2nd opinion.

    I was diagnosed at age 11. I’m 52 now and my heart has normal function. I’m on Veletri and tracleer. Sotatercept was released in March in USA. The first drug that treats the disease and not just symptoms. I hope to start it this year. The side affects of my current meds are dibilatating. My life expectancy was age 18.

    Hello Kate, I have just watched your video. A lot of what you said resonated with myself. I am still coming to terms with having PH. I do not push myself physically, and take one day at a time. Take care.

    This see seems much better than the one my doctor has. They make me put this band with a probe on my head and then we walk until a set time. If I can’t finish, then I have to start again. Which makes zero sense because then I try to control my pace so I can finish. Because if you have PPH you already have limited exercise ability 🤷🏼‍♀️🤦‍♀️

    Oh, Carole, this was my story too: Diagnosed with asthma when I was 50, and put on asthma medication that didn't quite work. 10 years later, I went to a lung specialist and said that I felt I was getting enough oxygen when I breathed! She listened to me, and with tests, was able to diagnose it as IPAH. Things have been so much better, these last 7 years, with the specific PH medications that I am on. Thank you for sharing your story. Much love to you ♥♥♥

    I live with this every day I went for 2 and a half years with nobody listening to me , I end up in ICU before being diagnosed with PH I am now on oxygen 24 hours a day and use a wheelchair out of the house. It is a complete life changing disease of which there is still little understanding, I am still trying to come to terms with it all, however I now have an excellent team of experts around me but nobody knows what the future holds. Good luck to you Julie x

    This is excellent! Thank you so much. I found it very helpful, particularly differentiating activity and exercise. Also the advice of varying walking speeds rather than stopping to ease the breathing. We are all different, as you so clearly explain, so we gently learn our own limits and scope. My activities, exercise capacity & quality of life have vastly improved since beginning to include exercise a year ago. From a Walking 6 minute result of 99 I have gradually improved to 275 & fully expect it to be a higher number on the next clinic visit! Thank you for your work and encouragement!
