pulmonary hypertension
"I was diagnosed with PPH in 2005. I started in a medication study for the first year which brought about great relief in my symptoms.  When the medicine was not approved by the FDA, my doctor put me on Letairis, 10mg but had to cut the dose down to 5mgs. due to leg swelling.  I have done well since then and only get shortness of breath with exertion, but have learned to pace myself.  Thanks to "Caring Voices" who help me with my insurance copay I am enjoying life at 75.  I was able to work as an RN till I was 72 and retired only when they changed the computer system!  I've been blessed and very thankful to have Letairis."
