Christian,
Well, exercising can diffanatly help, um, I havent been exercising although every now and then I will. Do you take hypertonic saline? The reason I credit this so much is because Ive noticed a great big difference, ever since Ive been on it, my pfts have been rising so you can see why I am so pleased with it, I do know that not everyone has a great experience with it tho. I use 7% hypertonic saline and some use 3%. I cant think of anything else that could help bring your pfts up more except for exercising and hypertonic, doing your meds all the time can help too.

You are an inspiration! I just started Pulmonary Rehab and am hoping to regain some lung power. I have been down to 26% for a few years now. I just had a hospitalization for respiratory failure, asthma put me on the vent for a few days. I found out about a pulmo rehab program at my hospital and asked about it. Why my doc has never suggested it before?
I am being evaulated for transplant too. I hope I can be as successful as you have been.

Walking is my main exercise, I use to go walking with my mother in law but ever since May we seemed to of stopped. I would like to do wieghts and get some abs but I just havent gotten myself back to the gym. Softball is another exercise, but I only played when people needed me this year and that wasnt very many games, this year Im going to try and get a flag football team together, and that will be a lot of running for me which will be good.

Good luck Mare, I hope you succeed in raising your pfts, it may be tuff but the work is well worth it.
