    Vertex Patient Assistance Program

    I was on kalydeco which was approved for one of my genes but switched to Symdeko off label and vertex took me off their co pay assistance. However, they allowed me to go back on a few months later. It is in their best interest that you can stay on it so I would call and ask!

    Vest? Symdeko?

    I am deeply sorry for the loss of your sister. I too lost a sister to CF and know how painful it is. I also have CF and could definitely use the Symdeko as my insurance company is not willing to cover it for me. I would gladly pay you to ship it. PM me if that would work for you. Thank you!

    I am deeply sorry for the loss of your sister. I lost my sister to CF over 20 years ago and it is still painful. I also have CF and could use the Symdeko. I would be happy to pay you to ship it. Thank you!

    drinking with CF

    I agree also. Drinking (particularly in excess) will suppress your immune system. It only takes one severe infection or illness to take a big chunk out of your lung function. Additionally the liver issues could be very harmful.

    Low grade fevers and swelling

    Are you still taking Lovenox? It can cause leg swelling. I saw you have a history of a pulmonary embolism? I wonder if a cardiac and lower extremity ultrasound is warranted? It's hard to know if the leg swelling and fevers are connected or two separate issues. The fevers are common with...

    Hi Bill, I had a great relationship with Craig also and I think that is why he was so offended. I did not realize he was going to take the transfer so hard. I felt our doctor patient relationship would never be repairable. I really appreciate your advice and guidance. I noticed your age...you...

    Who do you see Bill? I like Dr. Cernadas too but I do not think she has the depth of knowledge like Uluer. She also does not use email regularly and does not get back to you a lot which is frustrating (I do not reach out that often). I really like her as a person and at times she steps to the...

    Hi Printer, Sorry for the delay. I am currently seeing Dr. Manuela Cernadas. She was the only doctor he would allow me to see. I like her but do not think she has the experience I need. The last couple years my health has become a bit more unstable....I am turning 42 in a month. Do you have...
