    Cf and kidney stones

    Kmhbeauty - I had the lithotripsy (sonic waves), and it was such an easy procedure! And - it put me out of pain so fast... you're going to wish you had it earlier. I personally had mine on a Saturday morning, so I didn't need any time off of work. They didn't put me out under general...

    Leaving

    Hi Lauren, I agree with a lot that you have said. One question though; I have pasted the terms of membership you sign when you join below. I'm not trying to argue with you, and have deep personal respect for you, but I honestly don't understand where posting a facebook page violates the Terms...

    Havoc, Incomudrox, etc. - In the meantime, have you considered cf2chat.com? That is another forum available now. It is for CFers, run by CFers.

    any parents out there dealing with CF adult children that have given up

    hemoptysis from flying?

    This ALWAYS happens to me. I almost expect it now - first night in a hotel room after flying. Always kinda freaks me out, too - because I'm away from home, and sometimes alone (if I'm travelling for business). I suspect for me, it's the dry air in the airplane...

    first episode of hemoptysis

    Hey - A few things - - easier said than done, but when you have a bleed try not to panic. It only raises your blood pressure and makes you bleed more! I also try to stay very still. I don't want to move around and provoke a cough which could increase bleeding. - I've definitely had them...

    Adults diagnosed in their 50's?

    Very cool, Bill! I never thought of it that way... that the CF could be the same, but something else is offsetting it somewhat. I hope they learn something!

    Adults diagnosed in their 50's?

    Hi! I'm not a late diagnosis, and I'm only 29. BUT, I just wanted to say that there is a lot of hope with proper treatment you will not experience the constant lung and sinus infections you have had for the previous 3 years. Hypertonic Saline particularly, helped me immensely (of course...
