All I can say, is that once you've got damage in your lungs, you can never get that part of your lung back. Just keep exercising, doing your treatments, etc. Lung damage is a part of CF. Maybe you could also increase your vitamin intake. Do you take ADEKs?

What exactly are ADEKS? My 9 yr old boy takes 2 multivitamins and 1 vit e a day. Does that sound like enough vitamins? I guess the labs most be OK or they would have addressed it. But wondering about ADEK too.

DS is on ADEKs twice a day, plus a vitamin K tablet once a day. Plus his doctor since day one has had us put a drop of vitamin A and a drop of vitamin E in his milk -- chocolate -- 'cuz vitamin A usually comes from fish. Did you ask your doctor what he suggested regarding the vitamin levels? Did he suggest increasing CPT (or the vest) to keep your lungs happy and healthy? Liza mom to a 2 1/2 year old wcf

Vitamins A, D, E, and K. The fat soluble vitamins are sometimes grouped together and designated by the abbreviation, ADEK.

ADEKs is better for people with cf than "normal" multivitamins because the normally fat-soluable vitamins are "prepared" in a special way, so that our body can also use them without fat.
