Welcome to Pulmonary Hypertension: PHighting for a Cure Blog!

Welcome to the Pulmonary Hypertension: PHighting for a Cure blog! My name is Lindsay and I will be your editor.

I live in Southern California and have had Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) for 5 years. I was diagnosed with WHO Class Four, Primary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) 4 years ago and was immediately put on Flolan, Revatio, Lasix, Potassium, Digoxin, then onto I.V. Remodulin (lets just say have done a round or two in the PH medication buffet line).

In this blog you will find tidbits of information regarding PH from articles to studies, as well as from websites, books, etc. I will try to post anything I can find out. There are not many of us PHer's out in the World, but everyday we are gaining new PHriends that have either been newly diagnosed or have finally been correctly diagnosed after years of searching for answers.

Feel free to read or comment on this blog at anytime. I welcome anyone to leave their thoughts, comments, or suggestions regarding this blog...whether they be good or bad. I can't promise that I will always keep it updated but I will try my best to have the latest information regarding PH on this blog.

Please remember that this blog is for us. It's a resource for people who are looking for direction, inspiration, motivation, information or even a guiding hand (this is not a place to whine or complain). Thanks!

Also, if you think you have PH and are not officially diagnosed, please contact a PH specialist for information regarding diagnosis.
