Well said Faust. I'm 26, female, with an FEV1 of 50%. I culture highly reactive PA and staph, only been on one round of IV antibiotics. I vest, I use albuterol, HTS, and tobi. I take a mountain of vitamins and suppliments everyday. Yet here I sit with a 50% FEV1.
I think a lot of it is because my joint pain has reached the point that excersise is very difficult for me. I'm a firm believer that excersise is the best form of airway clearance out there, but most days even the thought of taking a walk for half an hour make me cringe.
