62 years old, PCD with SI and polysplenia. Have a 66yo sister PCD/SI, too. Normal sister and brother as well. On oxygen 24/7, currently living at sea level, but am about to move in next couple of months; we'll see if I can tolerate 1800 feet above sea level or not. But I need a dryer climate, now, so if I can't handle that altitude, will look at a place that's 500 feet above sea level. Am on disability with lung function currently at 24%. Not interested in lung transplant. I'm in the US.
