What is this? I had a good Dr appointment for the first time in what feels like forever?? Why yes, yes I did! So my appointment may not have been very good according to most peoples standards, but what can I say? My standards suck. So I am overjoyed to say that I am officially back in the 30s! I am hoping not to see my FEV1 in the 20s for well...forever, but that is probably asking too much so I will settle for 20 years or so. My numbers were barely hanging onto the 30s at 33%, but you know what? 33% is better than 32% and way better than anything in the 20s so I am not going to complain. I am hoping that my numbers will continue to creep up over the next year or so. I go back to the doctor in 6 weeks and my goal is 35%. Baby steps...
And guess what else? My weight, it rocked! Thank you, Megace! We decided I would stay on Megace until I hit 130lbs which will be interesting because besides being pregnant I have never really been heavier than 125. I may need to buy a new wardrobe!
Other good news (yes it just kept coming!!) Vit A, E, K, and D were all good. A1C was awesome! I was totally on a role...well besides the shitty lung function and all. Thanks to my appointment today I am in a pretty good mood tonight so excuse me while I celebrate with a double helping of Ensure Plus with a few tablespoons of coconut oil and 5 zenpep!
Very happy for you and your family. Keep on baby stepping!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Taking it one day and 1% at a time!

ReplyDeleteHallelujah!!! 33 may not be great in and of itself, but when you think of how far you've come in such a short time it's flat out AMAZING!! You're gonna be rocking those 50s again in no time. ;)
ReplyDeleteI keep trying to tell myself that. It is really hard not to feel like I am failing horribly. It is hard because 33% is a number I would have been horrified at blowing and now it is a relief which is depressing in itself. But yes, you are right, it IS a big improvement and at least we are going up and not back down!
DeleteGood news. I just found this blog the other day and it looks really promising! I'm going to order the Cellgevity and give it a try. Sounds like she's had amazing success with her natural approach. I'm taking yet another course of antibiotics and am inhaling oregano oil drop in water and it's really helping bring things up.
ReplyDeleteHa! www.cfandhealthy.com always helps when I actually tell you what blog it is LOL
ReplyDeleteI am super nervous to inhale anything because I bronchospasm so easily, but have heard great things about inhaling oils. I think I am going to e-mail you to get more details. And I will check out the blog link, thanks!
