I've always heard that mostly older women get this disease, but I see there are quite a few men who actually get it also. Sorry to hear you are on a good route now. When you say you are "Now treated for 5 years," does that mean you've been on medications that long?

Yes, 5 years and counting. I'd say 10% of us are men, we all are mostly tall and slim build. Men are more susceptible to cavitation like me. I'm an alpha-1 carrier but serum level is ok. My mother has chronic lung disease but she is 91 and counting. My brother died at age 31 from lung failure.
