It started last Friday with me having difficulty completing my exercise program. It continued through the week to the point that I had to cut back to 1 mile an hour on the treadmill and even then I can only manage 10 minutes. Strange how in just a few days things can change for the worse.
We are not sure why - I don't have an infection or any other obvious reason for the decline - except for the disease itself making its unpredictable way through my lungs.
The solutions are doubling my predisone dose, weekly rather than monthly monitoring and a new mask with a bag attached that can deliver up to 90% pure oxygen. We shall see if all these interventions slows things down or maybe even improve the situation a little.
On a lighter note the votes were in favour of the beard so it stays. Trouble is it is so grey that it'll be while before anyone notices!

Mike you're a great role model. I admire that you are sharing all this with others and for steadfastly fighting to prevent the disease from getting in the way of your day-to-day life.
