mines around 76 and i put it all down to hard work,3 sessions a day around 16 minutes each,lots of exercise(swimming) 5 days a week and plenty of water 2 litres a day.I have always produced a lot and have worked bloude hard at keeping on top of this shitty illness.I know for a fact if i ever let up i will slip and this happended in april of this year.I had enough of the intense regime i have known all my life for dealing with this condition and gave up and done nothing for 3 months.My fev1 dropped from 83 to 54 and the docs told me it was down to a bad infection that i had developed for not doing my phsyio.In the 3 months of doing nothing i lost 7% baseline, this illness is tough very tough to deal with and it is draining but fortuantly i now decide to fight and havent given up life is too short

question....as far as the FEV1's are concerned. Are you guys speaking of the "actual" or "predicted" Thanks <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"></end quote></div>
It's actually the "percent of predicted" that we are using, (i.e. if my FEV1 is 40%, then I can blow out 40% of the amount that is predicted for someone my weight/age to be able to blow out.) Hope that makes sense<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif" border="0">

Hi Mary,
I'm no longer at 70 or over... but I was for a bit in college! At that time I was on IV antibiotics 2 - 3 times per year. I was just encountering too many illnesses living away at school... plus I'd probably miss a treatment here and there, too. Now that I'm working full time, my FEV1 is lower, but I'm on IV antibiotics only once a year or once every other year. I'd attribute this to my total unwavering compliance and limited exposure to 'germy' places!!
Point is, I don't think FEV1 and number of infections always coincides...
Hope this helps!...
