Thank you for your very knowledgeable response. I wish I knew all of that at your age<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
For sure the infections you mentioned can wreak havoc and cause damage.
That being said, I have had times where I've had terrible colds, felt like crap, tried oral antibiotics, did IV's and still never got back to my baseline after all of this...so I just assume that some kind of damage happened during this time period.
I guess my point is that it's not like we always just choose to "let" our lung function decline, that there are things beyond our control that can happen.
