    Brenda, sorry to hear you are a little down. Test results have a way of ruining your day for sure but I am just a couple points above you in a test that I had almost a year ago. Since then I try to not dwell on the numbers so much. Just work hard and try to live each day to the best of my ability.

    I think of you often as probably others do so always know that there are people rooting for you.
    Take care and better breathing.
    Hugs,
    Anna

    ok. 22 isnt too good. so, now what are you doing to do about it?

    mine is about 18. i decided, after a brief period of doing the poor me bit, to try to make myself stronger. just so i could do as much as possible for myself.

    since that time ive gotten my walking up to a mile. it takes me over an hour to do...but i can do it. and i'm doing little fake push up type things. and i can tell it's helping, a small bit.

    i'm not as out of breath when i shower as i was before. so, i would suggest you get moving, if you want to be able to do anything for yourself.
    good luck and take care

    Brenda, you have a great attitude and that is what it takes to feel at least a little good when you have this disease.

    I will keep my fingers crossed and am waiting for your next test results.
    Take care.
    Hugs,
    anna
