Amazing News

[fronkleblanc]

Hi all while since I have been on but I had to share this. Yesterday I had my annual checks K still am shocked my FEV and peak flow has improved enough to change my status to back to just asthmatic. I ha gone for mipld Copd to moderate and floated between the two for a few years but no longer. My nurses were astounded and the only thing I can attribute to is Tai Chi everydAy . I was so excited K have forgotten but my peak flow was my best ever in o Dr 30 years 649. I am now being monitored for the next 6seems stopped my spiriva as of this morning. I do not want to appear smug or to seem to have had a miracle cure but hope that others will be encouraged.

Your peak flow of 649 puts my 137 to shame.

Wish you lot off luck for the future.

I had both and my original spirometry had to be done twice as the first time was very difficult me. As I have had asthma for many years was shocked by the diagnosis and had a second opinion. It confirmed the first so for some time I have just been trying to keep fit but 3years ago I started my Tai Chi class. So changed were slow but there was some improvements. I will know further when I go back in 6weeks to have a check up without my spiriva and hopefully cut down my sweetie too.

Great news!

Wonderful. Another post to encourage newbies to the site. Tai Chi is a wonderful exercise system which includes a breathing discipline as part of the movement discipline, so I find it no surprise that your improvement could be attributed to that.
