    Never had a tune up

    I went 24 years without any IV antibiotics. Nurses thought I had just moved to the area because they had never seen me in the hospital before. Right before my 25th birthday, was hospitalized for 3 days and sent home with 2 weeks of IVs. Not the worst experience of my life...was easier than I...

    Almost 26 years old. Parents insurance coverage expires in 9 months. Options?

    I'm in the same exact situation. My health care will expire in March. I'm thinking of going on COBRA for another year. I'm a personal trainer so I cannot afford to get my own insurance. Think about COBRA as an option for another year.

    hiatal hernia

    I've been told I have a hiatal hernia. I have had my gall bladder out a few months ago and during the tests to figure that out, the docs discovered the hernia. I still get occasional bouts of serious pain and I believe it's because of the hernia. It's like heart burn and there is tenderness to...

    Sinus surgery?

    I've had two. One I was too young to remember. The second was 5 years ago and it was SO worth it. Waking up from anesthesia was rough for me since I got really nauseous, but they immediately gave me something in my IV to end that. I was fine by that evening and took it easy for the next several...

    First time on IVs and very tired

    Dr. said all my numbers looked good from my blood work they've been doing every week. Not sure what that means. He mentioned specifically no anemia.

    First time on IVs and very tired

    Hello, This is my first time on IVs and I'm wondering if it's normal to feel so tired. I am on my 14th day of a 21 day course of Tobramycin and Zosyn and I'm very tired. I just turned 25 and have never been hospitalized for CF so this is all new to me. My lung function dropped to 57% when I was...

    IV and work

    This is my first time on IVs ever. I have an entire month off from work. Granted, I work for a very supportive church that gave me the month off. I was planning on working through it, but I don't know if it's possible anyway. I am on every 6 hours with on antibiotic and once a day with the...

    Buspar?

    When I first started seeing a psych for anxiety and depression, he put me on Buspar. Buspar is really suppose to be used in combination with an antidepressant. It didn't do much for me. I switched doctors and was put on Lexapro and it helped much more. Now I am on several other meds that work...

    Tulane Clinic

    That's where I go and have gone since I was 8 years old (I'm 24 now). I loved my pediatrics doctor and my adult doctor is great too. I have never been admitted to the hospital other than being diagnosed with CFRD so I don't know what that is like. I think it's safe to say I have a mild case of...
