Dear artobsessed, (I like your name btw, me too). I am a nearly 37 year old with FEV1 in the mid-40s and holding steadyish for the last couple years. I have been diagnosed with ABPA (or ABPM). I too have a history of asthma, sinisitus, chronic congestion, and allergic rhinitis. I first had...

Hi TheSaltyOne! I've had similar issues with my sinuses, even though they've never been so bad to have surgery (it's definitely out there as an option though).

It's been quite a few years, are you still on the forum bamagirl? And if so, how is your treatment going? I was just diagnosed as having MG myself (same symptoms as you, including fatigue from chewing and general overall). I still need to see a neurologist (very soon I hope) so that we can...
