Visit #4...wow!

Well I am totally and completely floored! I don’t know how much info I can give out but here goes:

Last week my FEV1 was 38% and 1.21 L
This week my FEV1 is 47% and 1.46 L

HOLY MOLEY! That is one heck of an increase. I really believe that I am on the study drug and not the placebo. How else would a jump of that magnitude in one week be explained? I have not changed a darn thing in my routine either. And quite frankly I was thinking I didn’t have the drug since I noticed no change at all. Guess not! LOL

I’m so excited about this I hope that the drug goes out to the market soon! I would recommend this to anyone and yes the nasty tasting drug is so worth it if it can raise me up 10%!
