Finally got a Dr Appt tomorrow. Out of antibiotics, the albuterol and steroids are the only things keeping my inflammation down so I can breath. Thought I was getting better.... but had a bronchial attack this am that about knocked me out. Had to battle with the pulmonary Drs sec to attempt to get in, and my pulse is jacked up. Sometimes over 100 sitting still. Ive tried to work, get super short of breath way to fast.( that was standing there, trying to roll paint on a 24" high knee wall!) Got about 3 and a half foot down it, and I was done. Still can't sleep without waking up coughing and having no air half the time... usually an hour or 2 at a time, then up for a few, then maybe 3 more hrs or rest. Hopefully, I'll get some answers, and a Solid Treatment plan asap. I don't think I'm outta the woods yet.... Thank You for Asking, and Sorry to Whine/ vent. I'm pretty nerve-wracked at this point. Got a blood O2 meter. Was 90% last night and this am..

You are not whining. You keep fighting, and I will keep praying for you.

What ended up being wrong with it? Was it the power steering pump or hose?

It was the water pump. The water pump literally exploded. And it took the serpentine belt with it, hence loss of power steering. And best of all, it only cost me $76 to fix. When I bought the Jeep new in 2007, it came with a free lifetime warranty on the entire drivetrain. The Service manager at MY Jeep dealership looked into it, and the water pump was covered. YAY! That is why I will keep this jeep forever. Still looks good and a lifetime drivetrain warranty.

Thanks Man! I'm definitely Not getting better. I'm getting badly winded after just walking a few feet. Guess lungs are still inflamed. Seen a Dr today. That was a joke. Guy lied to me, with the Gal sitting there, and really didn't do anything, didn't even wanna listen to anything. I'm not gonna get into nationality or religion there....Can't see the lung doctor for 2 weeks. So it's breathing treatments and a Lil home oxygen (that I borrowed) for now. Gets any worse, I'll be headed back to the Er. Good news is I got Blessed with Emergency county health insurance. Till Oct 31.... creepy..

Had the same kind of crap happened to me after they found my Widow Maker blocked. I couldn't breathe for the next year and a half my head continually drained tried all kinds of drugs they tested me for allergies and still never came up with a plan to where I could walk more than 50 ft without stopping in gasping for breath. My last visit to my heart doctor I told him this would be my last visit to him that I would be dead very soon because you idiots can't figure out what's wrong with me. He upped my Lasix it pulled 28 lb of liquid from my body in 2 weeks. I have been able to breathe since then and have felt much better. Good luck to you.

WOW!
They didn't buy you out of that warranty?
My brother bought a Wrangler when Chrysler was offering that lifetime warranty. My brother said he's never buying another car with that deal.
A couple of years ago he was livid because Chrysler sent him a check for $2000 and a letter stating that they were buying out his warranty. No option, wasn't asked, they just did it.
I think it's great that you still can use yours!

Me either, he asked how I was doing yesterday. Guess I took it over the deep end. My Bad... Sorry Y'all

I’m just going to reply to you here because , thank goodness, the Jeep thing got sorted out.
I , we, need you to immediately cut out all sugar and massively reduce carbohydrates. All carbs convert to sugar but refined sugar immediately does.
You may have a viral infection in your lungs and viruses love sugar. Inflammation is fed by sugar. I know it sounds crazy but try to stay at 3 glasses of water a day unless you are sweating and just drink a little more to compensate for the sweat. Do this at least three weeks.
The reason I say this is because m friend just went through the same stuff. I’ve been following your troubles and it sounds exactly what he had. It all makes sense with the sugars and carbs and inflammation.

I'm not sure that is legal.

I know a guy whose Charger has that warranty. It covered exhaust manifold leaks at over 250,000 miles. It covered a rear main seal leak at 360,000 miles.

It's legal.
The reasoning was that Daimler/Chrysler sold the warranty and Fiat wasn't under obligation to honor it.
What they did was restructure the warranty to a 5yr/100,000 and made transferable. The warranty is supposed to benefit the owner to which ever occurs last.
They did this same crap back in 2007 when they bought up all the stock shares at a non negotiable price to sell out to Cerberus.
