ok so i had my first clinic visit yesterday and the RT was a bit surprised at my inspiratory numbers. I have never had that measured before, and it was 50, 48, and 42 for the three tries. My Fvc was 115% and oxygen level 97. Those last numbers look great, right? So any thoughts on the mip? The rt said she could recommend bi-pap at those numbers, but i don't see any major problems with my breathing. Should I be concerned?

I would go ahead and get it. It sounds like you have had some muscle loss in your throat. In my case. It caused me to have obstructed sleep apnea. My air way relaxes, and blocks my breathing while I sleep. It can be real helpfull even if you don't think you need it. I feel a lot better when I use mine, and I don't need it either.
