Why do Jews and Israel interest you so much ? -

Finally identified my long-term illness (Bronchiectasis), thanks to Dr Google :)
That the exchange of gases works is measured by the diffusion capacity. But the mucus will obstruct the bronchi, so one would expect signs of obstruction. (Furthermore, non-CF bronchiectasis is often caused by COPD - and you don't have CF, you would be dead already) Later, the chronic inflammation leads to fibrosis, so one expects signs of restriction (the lungs are not that elastic anymore) and impaired exchange of gases. Pulmonary function tests can be helpful for documenting baseline function and for monitoring disease progression. Bronchiectasis causes airflow limitation (reduced forced expiratory volume in 1 second [FEV1] with reduction in the FEV1/FVC ratio); the FEV1 may improve in response to beta-agonist bronchodilators. In more advanced cases, progressive fibrosis may result in decreases in forced vital capacity (FVC), evidence of a restrictive defect on lung volume measurements, and a decreased diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO). BTW I looked what Google (specifically Wikipedia) says about bronchiectasis, and I wouldn't think it's that clear-cut if I read that. It says clubbing is a rare symptom - and when you look up clubbing, they give you 20 conditions that can cause it. Anyway, your therapeutic consequences (NAC, clean air, etc) are certainly good. Don't forget vaccinations against pneumococcus (once) and influenza (every year). (A CT scan would tell you if you really have bronchiectasis, but even if you don't, these are good therapeutic measures) PS I just see @PPMMUU was faster -

That was no such thing as Palestinians , its never existed . Jews were exiled, banished from the land , now Jews are retuning back to their land . The land which was called Judea for 3000 years , which got changed to the West Bank 50 odd years ago -

Beautiful photo. On that logic though India should invade Indonesia because of Borobodur. I mean, come on! The jews let that temple rot and fall into disrepair. There were very few jews in Palestine in the 1930s, but a lot of Arabs. That place belonged to Palestinians. No wonder they're defending themselves against wholesale land theft. -

Report Israeli Tourist Sparks Outrage Over Shoe Rule Dispute in Thailand
Racist have been exploiting Jewish tropes for centuries. They aren't "really funny" as you say. They are deeply offensive. -
