Last August, hospital lung function tests put me at FEV1 30% of predicted. I've had two hospital admissions for life threatening exacerbations since then, yet today given the same tests at hospital I came out at 53%! And they say lung function can't be recovered?! Excellent but strange!

"...today given the same tests at hospital I came out at 53%!.."
Eh?! Did somebody not have something plugged in correctly?
You've had two "life threatening" admissions since last August?!!
I feel you should get an explanation from someone about this; and, please tell us, what extraordinary exercises and/or medicine have you been having to get to this sort of miraculous recovery?!!
Otherwise, regards and congrats on doing so well...; how do you actually feel?!!
I tend to agree and shall be asking my consultant about it next week. No change of meds ... Nothing to explain it ... I feel pretty good actually! :-). Of course there is always this little niggle that it could switch back again at the drop of a hat but sufficient unto the day etc and for now I'm enjoying breathing well!
