Hi. I was diagnosed with CF at age 73. I also dealt with hospital visits for asthma, pneumonia and different lung issues through out my life. My lung collapsed and then I was sent to a Pulmonary expect that did a battery of tests for a couple of months until I was diagnosed with CF . I was put on new treatment including inhaling salt water using a MediPro Nebulizer each morning. My lung has now inflated back to normal and my breathing is much better. I hope you feel better soon. keep chatting it helps to share.

@blashatw Your experience is so similar to mine. I'm glad your lungs are in much better shape now. Were you put on any medications in addition to the nebulizer treatments?
