Well Im back from the docs and everything is going good, but Im a little disappointed because I dropeed 1% on my pfts, so that only means Ill be working extra hard these next 2 months to make sure that they go higher. My husband was telling me that Im going down hill now, because of me dropping, but I said no, Its going back up next time ( I should add that my husband was only joking when he said that, he means the best for me). My weight is 130pds, I told the Doc that I was fat and over weight and he said that I wasnt over weight until I reach 145 pds, he said thats good back up fat, not exactly those words but close. I asked the nurse to print me a copy of my history of the pfts so I thought Id share them with you guys, to prove Im not lying, just kidding I know you guys believe me. My sat the thing they put on my finger was 97 and usually its 98 and once in a blue moon its 100 so that was down also, thought I would mention that as well.

AWESOME improvement in FEV1's over the past 18 months or so. That's truely incredible!!!!!!!!!

Don't beat yourself up about losing a % on your FEV1's. There's always a margin of error that goes along with PFT machines.

So the reality is that there is no statistical significance between 88 and 89%.

But wow, those numbers are incedibly impressive. Very very inspiring!!!!

I agree, don't beat yourself up over 1%. Like Amy said, it could be a different machine, "that time" of month, PFT was done at a different time of day, etc. etc. etc.
I would love to have those numbers for my PFT!

Hey there~ What's your secret? What did you do to get them up from
62% to 89%. Please, tell me...I REALLY need something to bring them
up. What 's your routine like??<br>
I just found out mine are way lower than I was led to believe and I
didn't think it was possible to bring them up from 50's to 80's.
 I would really appreciate any info you can give me.

Chantel, I guess you can say that my secret is Hypertonic Saline 7% cause after I started taking this stuff my pfts have gone up, they always got higher eveytime I went to the doc, well except this time. I dont do much exercise, I also take pulmozyme and tobi and then my inhalers advair and combivent and the vest.

Luke, Your right, what was I thinking wanting to take oregano oil, I guess I was just too disperate. I will diffanatley tell my husband to be more optimistic.
