How Many Of You Are On Remodulin Intravenously? Also, Are All Of You Seeing A Pulmonologist That Is An Expert In PAH?

"Why did I keep saying I had PAH?" Both times I had to remind him of the data from my Cardiac Cath on my chart showing pressure of 58 in my pulmonary artery. "Oh, well that's PH." I got a referral to the Pulm clinic at UCDavis where they know how to treat it.
