Yes, I am having breathing issues. I have been a singer, voice teacher and choir director for many years and began to notice some weakness. Since I breathe "correctly", using the intercostal muscles and belly breathing, I have seen those muscles as the problem. I was sent to the pulmonary docs, who confirmed that there is muscle weakness. They can't see obvious atophy on X-ray, but the breathing tests were pretty conclusive. Their approach is to follow up in a year. I still manage, esp. with choir directing, but, of course, can't know where I will be next month or next year. Such is the course with this disease.
