Diane,
I feel your frustration. Sorry you are going through this. Try to remember that your PFT's are a small picture in time and that they can even fluctuate from morning to afternoon. I read on this forum a while back that someone at 40% was a runner and held that FEV1 for 9 years. We are all so different. I am around your FEV1, down a little from last year and my life has not changed dramatically because the numbers did. Actually, my quality of life is quite good. Don't get discouraged, discouragement is a foe to faith<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> We all love ya here.

That does suck & I can see why you'd be bummed. I hope you're doing a little better this a.m.
As has been mentioned, at least the darned fungus ball is unchanged--could be worse.
I'm sorry about the weight and PFTs. Have you been on IVs recently & whether or not you have--did the doctor suggest this would be a good time for IVs? (I know, who wants to at Christmas time, darn it??) This should help w/ lung function. How about walking? That may help with your lungs too, but then would burn calories--kind of counter-productive, huh?<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif" border="0">
As for weight, I wish I had good advice. Just eat, eat, eat is what I'd do!
I hope you're doing better today. Hang in there. Hills and valleys, Baby..hills and valleys.
((hugs and loves))

thinking of you 
have you looked into if there's a fungus specialist in the US? Maybe there's experimental treatment that you could get done. Like injecting some drug into the fungus ball sort of like a flea bomb. Here's to hoping you cough it out. Do you ever try vision therapy? Maybe try that. Picture healthy pink lungs with that fungus ball shrinking up and coming up your airways and out into your mouth - Blah! but wouldn't that be a day to rejoice. Ive heard of a man who coughed out a nail 50 years after it got lodged in his lungs. Anything possible! Don't give up hope.
