The lady kept telling me my epiglottis was closing so she was not getting a good reading, so i had to keep doing it over and over...

    Pulmonary Function Test

    well, we had the Pulmonary Function Test done yesterday. It indicated mild restriction, is at 70%. The doctor said he would talk to us at our next appointment about the test. Is 70% a good result? Eddie is no longer working due to the weakness in his hands and arms and the breathing difficulty.

    Breathing Difficulties Worsened

    Pulmonary Function Tests

    I am scheduled to have a Pulmonary Function Test this coming Friday morning, and I have never had one before. Does anyone have any information about what to expect, how long will it take, or will they give results right away? As long as they aren't as awful as the EMG, I can handle it :smile...
