So I was looking at my old records. From what I can tell, I have around 30% lung capacity (my FEV1 is trailing around 30% on a PFT day, and FEV1/FVC is around 35 - 40%). For those not in the know, FEV1 is how much you can breathe out in one second, FEV1/FVC is how much you can breathe out vs total volume. Both shoud be around 85 or more.
I noticed when sleeping that my lungs get inundated with mucus and phlegm, causing the insomia I have. I also noticed that edibles dont do shit against this disease. It's like the disease's progression has surpassed all hope, and has morphed into this terminal issue with no real recourse. And Im not saying this as someone who is terribly depressed over it. Nothing seems to be getting my weight anymore, i tried gouging myself on crackers and the dirtiest food i can find, and i lost even more pounds this morning (im now down to 135. I used to be around 175 not even a year ago).
My doctors feel like theyre just throwing shit on the wall and seeing what sticks, to no real success. One guy gave me meds that aggravated the condition, I went from half lung capacity straight down to the low 40s. And the progression of the disease is now measured in months when it used to be years. I went from around 55% lung volume in 2018 (when my wife was still alive), 2019 went down to around 42%, 2020 went down to around 38% capacity, and 2021 it's gone down to 32% capacity.
So it was nice knowing everyone, but i think ive come to the inevitable conclusion I will most likely be dead within the decade. So if anyone wants to start a civil war, dont forget to message me, because i honestly dont give a fuck anymore
