    Lung function during pregnancy

    You asked if you can increase lung function during pregnancy, particularly during early pregnancy. I say, "Yes!" My baby is 22 years old. When I was pregnant, I walked 40 minutes every week day and was dedicated to my treatments. My best lung function EVER was 2 weeks before Erica was born...

    Whose with somebody and the parents throw insulting comments at you?

    Some people will never get it. My mother will tell people I'm dying and then minutes later be mad because I don't want to do construction work after working an 8 hour shift on my feet. Those people are all about themselves. And if they are giving you anything, they feel they have control of you.

    CFers over 40

    I am 40, diagnosed at 5, just popped back into the 90s after being in the 70s and 80s for three years. I was terminated from a 15 year job 5 years @ 1 dept and 10 years in another dept for being inconsistent. I suppose that was due to me declining health and three deaths in our family in three...

    Muscle and Joint Pain/severe exhaustion

    Does anyone besides me have a terrible time getting "narcotics" to treat the pain. I've been on and off loracet numerous times over the past 20 years for sinus surgeries and kidney stones. Yet every time I tell them that what I have (ibuprofen or aleve) is not working, the cf doc; the ent, and...

    doc and I disagree

    From experience, do NOT use the eflow/trio for abuterol. You will feel like you are having a seizure from the shakes you will get. the eflow super concentrates the meds. That's why you use regular tobramyicin instead of Tobi in it. I've used it for both Tobra and Coly. I haven't asked about...

    Joint Pain

    I've had joint and muscle pain for several years. The cf doc blamed it on low vitamin D and an inflammatory response to the infection in my lungs. Once I started Replesta, the vitamin D levels returned to normal. The pain did not go away. Now the doc claims it is cf related arthritis...

    doc and I disagree

    I find the hyper and Tobramyicin take the longest. Are you taking Tobi or Tobramyicin? That can make a difference. Also, the cleanliness of your nebs makes a difference, especially with muco and antibiotics. They are sticky and the build up slows the neb. Make sure their bath includes...
