I only got 65%
I used to have asthma attacks when I was little. One day, it stopped. I was super happy. My first rain shower was when I was 14 (I couldn't do that before because just a cold led to an asthma attack and emergency room).
As I grew up, I'm always tired. I thought that's just how my body is and I accepted that fact.
Turned out, I've been breathing with only 65% of the capacity of a normal person
My Trachea has been constantly flaming, causing me not being able to breath 100% of my capacity.
I blame my shitty memory to this (lol)
Just wanted to share, because I've been living my life of 28 years like this, not knowing I could've done something to fix it (on medication now).
So if you feel or know something is not right, seek help, educate yourself, do something!

It took 'people' 22 years to find out I had CFS.. My mom was just 'You're in pain? Nah bet you're just having a cold' 'you should sleep more

Thank you. I had the spirometry done and it showed right away, but it really depends on your symptoms. I'm no doctor =D

I spent most of my life with headaches 5+ of 7 days a week, some of them very severe. Now on meds and I have nearly none. It's nice.

That happened to me too. Had severe sinus infection, didn't know why I had headaches continuously.

I thought mine were from chronic sinus problems, but they were actually migraines.

The devil migraines!

Yeah. It was getting to the point that they were ruining my life.
