What I am trying to say is there are drastically different stories. Folks with an FEV1 of 24% playing golf. Yet, others with an FEV1 of 35% in a wheelchair. Are you exercising? I.E. yoga or pilates. Do you work the most important muscles you can...the core muscles??<BR/><BR/>I know exercising is not everybody's favorite thing to do but, consider the alternative. I also an appreciate your fear of such a low FEV1. My sister is on a transplant list and has an even lower FEV1. <BR/><BR/>Sometimes they are just numbers and don't really tell us anything.<BR/>Don't give up!!kschwabshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10946438381124345213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7715943633259532156.post-1050192751473630552008-12-30T02:12:00.000-06:002008-12-30T02:12:00.000-06:00I've never heard anything like this here in Sweden...I've never heard anything like this here in Sweden! Inetresting indeed. Don't know if I've the guts to pull them all out...<BR/>I've had very little problems with my teeth and I hope it stays like this.<BR/>I do , however, have an issuse regarding lungfunction. Had a graet year, didn't get infected despite my kids having ALL kinds of different stuff going on. Yet my lung function is down by 10 % in a year. I'm now at 28 -30% and it scares the **** out of me!<BR/>Are you dropping as fast as me or is your loss more moderate? You are young too and that's why I'm asking you, aren't a lot of younger Alphas over here.<BR/><BR/>Take care and YOU're tremendous(sp??) inspiration to me<BR/>Love<BR/>Anne in SwedenAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16132400195550593061noreply@blogger.com
