High FEV1? Might not be the whole story

So as most of you know, a high FEV1 doesn't necessarily mean that there aren't other issues going on with your CF lungs.

I'm thinking of parents as well who say their kids have high FEV1's and perhaps don't feel the need to be as compliant with meds and don't see the need for prevention.

This is very interesting. It also explains a lot to me about how I feel. My FEV1 was like 102% at my last clinic appt, but yet I was feeling more short of breath than I had in years. It worries me at the same time because my dr tends to do IV meds based only on FEV1 results unless I really push him because I am feeling bad, which I have learned to do. *sigh*

Have any studies been done regarding O2 levels? I noticed that even if I have lousy FEV1 scores, my O2 may still stay around 97%. But if my O2 drops to 92 or 93, that is always a sure sign of trouble.
