Does anyone else have alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency?!


Question: Im in my mid 30s and was diagnosed recently with alpha 1-antitrypsin after having been diagnosed with emphyscema & emphysemic cysts. Im in good shape anyways but I stepped up my cardio. My question is.. is there someone else out there in yahoo! answer land that has this disorder? (its very rare, I know) What have you done to help alleviate the discomfort and do you have any preventative tips (other than wearing a mask when doing housework & such) to help keep my lungs from deteriorating? (I dont smoke btw)
thanks
