My husband is 30 and his baseline is 65% for FEV1, 80% for FVC and he runs and backpacks... no O2 required.
Anyone who says you have "very mild CF" while you need 02 for walking has no idea what they are talking about. You seriously need a new doctor. There is something not right about this at all.</end quote></div>
Nope I am confused too. My FEV1 is in the mid 40s and I am just now requiring O2 at home. I think if you are sick every 4 weeks and have FEV1 in the 90s something else is wrong besides CF. And if you need O2 at 96% then you need a new DR. And any DR that says you should be dead or on the TX list at 20 yrs old needs a new job.
