When I get PFTs done I look at the actual values fvc, fev1 and 25-75% (small airways) and compare those to past results. PFTs can change rapidly. If I had a machine and did PFTs every day they'd be all over the place from one day to next I'm sure. Even from the first try to the last the...

I go through 6 5-min sequences with the vest twice a day, while simultaneously inhaling 3% hypertonic saline. I then pause between sequences and either cough or get a cough going with some flutter action. The first cough is usually somewhat unproductive compared to the later 5 sequences. I...

How do you keep one sibling or cousin from getting MRSA from the other or giving it to the other? If they are young and live under one roof that may not be realistic I guess. Are there rules about contact and coughing, staying over night, or anything like that? My brother cultures staph and...

Welcome. I'm barely beyond introductions myself. I was curious about the various conditions you listed. I had a return of my childhood rheumatoid arthritis back in early 2003 after an 18 year absence. Several months later I had a stroke. I recovered completely but I was convinced that it had...
