    CF effects all aspects of your life?

    Here in the south, I'd look at that person and say "well bless your heart." I sure wish it didn't affect every aspect of my life, but at some point it just does. Breathing is kind of a big part of everything I do. And I'd love to meet anyone with any chronic illness that didn't "let" it affect...

    How do I stop coughing?

    When coughing interrupts my sleep, I take cough medicine and double up on my hypertonic the next day. When I lose sleep, I tend to go downhill FAST, so sleep is really important for me. I've tried honey and other natural remedies and unfortunately nothing really works for me other than the cough...

    Port Accessed and Shower questions

    I've had home health nurses give me these before, they work pretty well. If I'm just doing 2-3 weeks, I just wash my hair in the sink and then bathe the rest of me in a bathtub with not much water. It's a huge pain, but I'm always terrified of getting anything wet. But the aqua guards would be a...

    port surgery questions

    My first port placement was probably my toughest, but I really think it was b/c I was put to sleep and I didn't react well to the anesthesia- plus I was sick and on IV's at the time, so it was just all in all kind of sucky. I've had 2 replacement ports, and both were fairly easy. Local...

    IV Bottle

    Yes! I've never had a pharmacy do the Meropenum in eclipses before, but I just moved to SC and my new home health company delivered a 2-3 day supply every...well, 2-3 days, lol. Luckily only about a 10 minute drive for them. They never turned yellow, in fact I've had the gravity bags turn much...
