Hey Mabe (may I call you Mabe?)
I live in Los Angeles, which is about the worst air possible, and I've done really well. Except when my neighborhood has been on fire...like last week! Anyway, although obviously better air is better for you... your indoor air is most important. Sorry, but according to my doctor, no plants (soil has mold, fungi,and carry bacterias like Cepacia).
I was declining rapidly, but when I treated the asthma component to CF with appropriate meds and supplements, improved my environment, added exercise, better diet, my CF reversed course completely. Within 2 years my base FEV1 went from mid 30's to low 50's. It even went up in this past year as I've added a few new things to my regimen. When I "fall off the wagon" I get into trouble.
I've posted about this before Mabe, if you are interested. We'll stretch your 10 years to 20 and beyond!
