As expected, i have a terminal condition and the guy could do virtually screw all about it. This wasn't even that surprising to me, there are diseases out there where there is no cure, no real way to fix them. He discussed a lung transplant is not really an option since I'm not dying or quite at death's door, however, the medication he gave me is absolute garbage. He also mentioned that a lung transplant is taking one pile of headaches, and replacing it with another, so even then, he still wouldn't recommend it. I do make some minor improvements on the medications, however, the guy pretty much told my best option is to move to a dryer climate state, and to just take meds. If they work great, if not, we're out of luck. If I decrease lung function later, than yeah, im pretty much screwed. I told him about working out and stuff, he said to keep doing that. But outside of a miracle from God, my prognosis is that I will be dead within around 5 years or so. I lose around 3 - 5% lung function per year, and i have 30% lung function left. This year alone, I went from a lung capacity of 43% to 30%. 2 years ago, I went from around 52 to 43% lung function.
