The people that you refer to getting their pfts back up dont have permanant damage. You can have a drop in pfts that is caused by inflammation, infection etc that can be cleared up. On the other hand if its not cleared up then PERMANENT damage can/will be done & no matter what you do it wont get better.

Wheezie-you will never know whether you have 'clogged' up issues or permanent damage until you try! Also, excercise increases lung functin whether you have CF or not so I say go for it <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0">

Thanks everyone -
Obviously I know truly PERMANENT damage cannot be reversed. I guess I was just wondering how you know if what you've got actually IS permanent. I suppose I know too that the only way to answer that question is to get those lungs as cleaned out as possible, which is what I'm trying to do. I think I was just feeling a bit down when I originally posted and was secretly hoping to hear about some great success stories of people who were able to bring their numbers up.
