Hi all, Just wondering if anyone has experience with culturing Penicillium Sp.? It is a fungus very similar to aspergillis. I have recently been unwell with slightly unusual symptoms, very similar to when I had ABPA. I am very allergic to moulds and the ABPA caused a lot of grief but hasn't...

The reason phase 3 isn't starting until next year is that there is going to be a stage 3 for phase 2.

Sooooooo I was scrolling down to the bottom of the homepage for this site when the ads actually got my attention. There was one for weight loss and the other one was asking if I should stop smoking. Ummmm anyone else see the irony of their placement (I know the ads are random and not chosen by...

Like everyone has said stretching is very good. If you think about it if muscle tightness is stopping you from taking deep breaths it paves the way for areas to receive poorer air entry and infection. I think this is an area that often gets over looked in CF right down poor posture as well. I am...

Hi GenH and mima63, I am in Australia too. I am a double delta so this drug won't help me yet but please let me know if I can be off any help drumming up support to get this drug onto the PBS. I think it is important for all CF'ers to support this not only for the good of the people that it...

Just curious, I know some of you take this supplement and I was thinking I might give it a whirl. There seems to be some fairly compelling studies to suggest that it helps with immune function and fighting off infection. I tried to do a search for previous posts (I am sure I have seen them!) but...

Hello I am unsure how old your daughter is so I can't really comment on what the dose is like for her particular size/age/maximum however that doesn't seem quite right to me for someone who is PI. As CFmom ^ said creon needs to be taken with food or meals as it replaces the natural enzymes the...

Wow! How fantastic! As far as physio goes, there are a few options as have been mentioned. I have tried pep, flutter, acapella and of course manual cpt. Out of the hand held devises my pick would be the pep. The pep can be used in any position, including during manual cpt to increase...
