    Insurance requirements for BiPap?

    Hello all. My husband has a 4 month, ALS clinic appointment next week. He will have his respiratory function measured then. I am not sure how that will go, but I am assuming his values have decreased (sorry, I don't know his MIP/FVC as I was still too stunned at the first clinic to absorb...

    Hospice

    Two weeks ago I emailed and asked my ALS nurse to call me. When she did I told her that my headaches had returned and that doing even the smallest things left me out of breath and exhausted.

    FVC Should I worry???

    We saw the Pulmo for a PFT today and my PALS FVC was 42. Two months ago it was 63. Should I be crazy worried????

    Fvc

    Is there any equipment for less than $1,000 that measures your FVC at home? I've seen cheap things on Amazon used for asthma. I'm thinking at least you could get relative numbers even if they are not correct. I'm trying to think of ways to minimize my trips to Jacksonville in the future.

    Breathing Percent

    What is the MIP and FVC percent at or near the end for most PALS?

    Clinic day

    Well it's clinic day today. Wish me luck. Dreading the FVC. Getting winded so much quicker now. I do have a bit of a cold so not sure how accurate the test can be when you are stuffy. Happy Tuesday all. Vince
