Yes, I should have been clearer that my own post in this thread was more anecdotal from the perspective of someone who had "seen" a pulmonology specialist, with some of the things that she had advised (it was mostly to mention that tele-medicine is beginning to be an option here - I should expand on this to say that I've used it via the NHS some and it's a more accepted practice in other countries and they're a bit more set up to handle that sort of practice, but since I'd done it there I knew what would be required so we made it work).

I have a tendency to segue and not mention that I'm doing that sometimes. I think my brain is still working at about 2/3 capacity...

it's like the "study" in the thread below about the modeling simulation done on exercise and breath dispersal - it LOOKS sensible, and we tend to take it from that perspective, but the person who did the modeling wasn't a scientist, and it's not even a study - it's a white paper and really needs to be followed up on more carefully and reviewed by interdisciplinary scientists in different fields to determine validity.
