Angie, Hi, I was trying to respond to your post. i have these websites that have many things you can change at home for easier breathing. Cleaners, mattress dust mite covers, air purifiers, all non-toxic which always helps relieve respiratory problems. The people there are also knowledgeable and can help you choose wha is right for you! Avoid harsh cleaners, perfumed detergents, dryer sheets, softeners, shampoo, conditioners as they all irritate your lungs. I do not know lung exercise unfortunately to help you there. However, the cleanest air is always at the beach. Only place I can breathe. Boost your immune system, I do not know if you can take Vit. C but I only drink Emergen-C, not tablets or pills, because buffered vitamin c is different. I also avoid the preservatives, additives, colorants or anything else artificial they may have. I also used to drink a lot of Rooibos, it is a tea from Africa

which is higher in Antioxidants then Green Tea, tastes fantastic as well! My supplier was Mountain Rose Herbs online. All there stuff is checked and I have never had a problem with them. They also have GSE for boosting immue system. Always consult your Dr. Also very informative.

The tests sound a little less intimidating than I had thought fromsome of the posts I've read (I dip in and out -- don't know how someof the regulars keep up with the hundreds of daily posts!!).The doctor whom I saw certainly seemed to make it quite clear to methat life post transplant was no bed of roses -- whether this is aroutine to scare away those not serious or the beginning of a hardeducation is

unclear to me. But it seemed to be about as difficult alifestyle as that of someone on Aids maintenance therapy withintermittent setbacks.I would welcome any general or specific emails from those who havealready gone through transplant or are waiting for one.Wayne HeningNY/63/IPF 5/06
