    Oxygen at night - terrified

    I have been told that, that is a medical myth. I asked my Dr., resp. therapist, and others if that was a possibility and they all said no. If your sats are indicating your body needs O2 supplementation, and you use it as the doctor prescribes, you'll only help your body, not make it dependent.

    Oxygen at night - terrified

    I felt better the first night after I started using O2 at night. I woke up feeling more alive than I could ever recall, it was incredible! When I started O2, it was to be used at night and then during the day if needed. It was about 2 1/2 years after I started using it that I became totally...

    Oxygen at night - terrified

    I was scared when I first had to start using O2, I thought it was the beginning of the end. It wasn't. I didn't think I really needed it, but like Havoc said, it was such a night & day difference, because things change slowly and we don't notice it as much. I felt so much better, I couldn't...

    What song do you relate your CF fight to

    I've enjoyed Jon Bon Jovi's It's My Life, particularly when it comes to dealing with some medical personnel;)

    Allergic against cats

    I was tested for allergies, and found I was highly allergic to cats. I have 3, not necessarily by choice the 3rd was a stray that joined the family, he climbed into my car on a rainy day and then into my heart. (I know that sounds cheesy<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif"...

    Thinking about death & Fear

    I have had many dreams where I experience dying from CF and obviously the process isn't pleasant. Like many have said, to have a fear of it is natural. We all do to one extent or another. I do not fear what happens after death, but just the process as my body dies. I am religious. I have...

    Donor Needed

    I wanted to be tested to be in the registry, but they said since I have CF I don't qualify, because if I was a match the donation procedure could do me harm. I hope she finds a successful donor.
