i do them every time i go to clinic which is about every 3 months if i'm doing really good but usually ends up being more often than that...usually about every 8-10 weeks it seems. like candace i've gone back 2 weeks after my clinic visit for being sick or whatever and done them again! PFTs are so important because even just little changes can signal the start of something....

I do the full pft that is what we call the "body box" once a year with my annual workup.

I did, however, use to do at least the spirometer at every check up. When I was having a rough patch a few years ago I even did them even when I went every week.

Now that my lung function is down so low they more/less leave it up to me as to if I am up to doing it each time.

I actually do a form of pfts everyday... I have a hand held spirometer and keep track daily (almost daily) of my lung functions... I can tell sometimes when a "cold" is coming... I am wondering if one day the CFdoctors will have patients do them that way... though I am a big advocate of letting your body fight off bugs for awhile before going on antis...

Hope all is going well!!!
