    Viagra

    Has anyone taken Viagra (drug name sildenafil) for mucus production? It's a vasodialator so it should open up the vessels in the lungs. I have a friend who was in a study for this but she wasn't able to stay in the study. They already use sildenafil for pulmonary hypertension, also. Thoughts?

    Medicare & CFRD

    I just tried to get lancets and test strips filled at my pharmacy. They said Medicare denied my claim because "CFRD isn't really a diabetes diagnosis". They're saying CFRD isn't really diabetes so they won't cover my supplies!! I was just dx in June, but in July this same pharmacy filled scripts...

    my hypothesis on the mechanism behind the clubbing of fingers

    My fingers and toes have a lot of clubbing and have since I was a kid, when my lungs were great. Since my lung function has dropped, they haven't gotten worse though. Perhaps it has something to do with the salt or the mutation. On a side note, if anyone ever figures out how to make it reverse...

    pharmacy choice

    Does anyone use Foundation Care or CF Services Pharmacy for their drugs? Currently I only get Cayston from Foundation Care Pharmacy and everything else I get from Walgreens. But this month is the first month I've been on Medicare (with a supplemental insurance policy purchased separately) and...

    what have you used to treat mrsa

    I get treated with IV Vancomycin and oral Zyvox or Bactrim. I've cultured MRSA for several years and continue to culture it, so they haven't gotten rid of the MRSA. But they do keep it under control fairly well. I've never heard of fusidic acid. ~Aimee, 28 w/ CF (PA & MRSA)

    Great Strides Teams

    Hi everyone! I'm starting a team for my local Great Strides walk. I want to get team t-shirts for everyone, but I'm having trouble coming up with a design. Does anyone have pix of their team t-shirts or logos? I'm not going to steal anyone's logo, I just want some ideas. Thanks! ~Aimee 28 w/ CF...
