Hey Everyone, I just wanted to wish all of you a Happy Thanksgiving. I know we all take SO much for granted, yet we have so much to be thankful for. Just think of the sick people out there who wish it was CF they had to deal with instead of what is making them ill. I just love this day to think...

Ok, So I have this bronchitis-like cough, I've had it for 2 days. I cough ALL the time. Not a good CF cough, just an annoying tickle-in-the-throat type cough. And I cannot get rid of it. It keeps me up at night (like now!). I've been drinking water, sitting up in a recliner (instead of laying...

Hey Everyone, I just wanted to say, today, I am the big 3-0!!!! Yeah, I'm 30. I cannot believe I just said that, or typed that. I'm 30. Holy cow. As I kid I never imagined I'd make it to 30 and here I am going strong. Hooray!!! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">...

Hey everyone, I know this is OT but I need some help finding info. My cousin's wife just had her 3rd baby. She (the baby) didn't eat after she was born so they put her in PICU, put a feeding tube (in her nose) and tried to feed her but she threw up. They found out the baby had a stroke or...

I've been thinking so much of 9-11-01, I think of those who died, those who lost a loved one. The pregnant ladies whose husbands never got to see their children, and all of those babies who never met their dads, they'd now be 6 year olds. For all of the random people who fade with our memories...

Well that should say it all. I got my Mediport accessed today for some home IV's. Well I felt fine at the dr's office, then as the day wore on, the worse and I worse I feel. I have body aches, fever of 100.9, migraine (can't keep eyes open), nausea, etc. I feel absolutly awful.....and this is...

I'm not promoting this drug, just the opposite in fact. I was working out yesterday and there was info posted around the gym about ALLI the new weight loss drug (how bad it is for you, once again they weren't promoting). What I found interesting........it sounds just lifke CF'ers. It make the...

Well by the title, I think you get the idea. My husband and I are having major differences and I'm wondering if it is time to leave this whole thing behind me. Not that I want to but sometimes you need to cut your losses and move on with some bit of dignity left. So what do you do when you have...

Ok, this is not meant to spark any debate on how vain some people are (me in particular). I'm just concerned with my looks and want to keep them as long as possible. Well I met with the Dermatologist who is one of the best ones in the state. We discussed Juvaderm which is injected into the...

Hey I'm just watching the news. Anyone on here from KS? Is everyone ok? I can't believe those tornados! Be safe, hope all is ok! KELLI 29 f CF

So I clicked on my PM and then I can't get back to it. I know how to view all of my PM's but how do I respond to one that is now 'old'? I can't figure it out and I'm sure it's really easy! Please help! Thanks! KELLI

I've been on Doxycycline for about 10 days due to a sinus infection. Well it has torn my stomach up but that isn't the worst of it. Today (the first nice day in ages) I was outside at a soccer game and then I went to my moms and we were on her farm all day. Well the longer I was in the sun...

Please don't think I'm posting, just to post. I looked up other posts on HS but didn't get all of my questions answered. I am a bleeder (I haven't bled for 3 weeks now which is a miracle). Well I went to clinic yesterday and we discussed HS. They didn't like the idea at first but after...

Hey Everyone, I have to go to Clinic today and I am nervous about it. Well that just comes across as me being a Witch (for lack of a stronger term). How do you cope with stress? I swear my blood pressure is thru the roof right now because I am not looking forward to this. There is nothing that...

Hey Everyone, I just got an e-mail from my hospital. Well I never gave them my e-mail address (they have never asked for it, and it's not on any paperwork,etc.) so I don't even know how they got it first of all. Well the issue is, my e-mail is my name @hotmail.com. Doesn't that go against...

Hey, I know this is a CF site, and this sounds dumb, but I cannot stop coughing. I have broncitits & laryngitis. I have an antibiotic (so things don't get worse and go to my chest) and I have cough syrup with codiene. However, I just can't stop this hacking cough. I'm doing my vest & nebs...

Hey Everyone, I am on here morning, noon, and night. Literally. I check it out from work, read while I do my treatments, etc. How much time do you average a day or week on this website? I love this website and it's almost addictive! Hope you all are well and feeling great today!! (BTW, I'm...

One of our local CF'ers died yesterday (his name is Charles Armentrout). He was 47 and married to a woman named Beth. He was doing fine and then got an infection and was on a vent, was doing much better, the infection came back and he was gone very quickly. I know I could/should have posted this...

Hey Everyone, I have a question. My niece who has CF always seems to be in competition with me. Always wants more attention, will be rude to me in front of others, gets jealous if I get something new, etc. She is 8 and I am 29, so it's not like we are anything like one another but she is...

Hey everyone, I'm having so many problems trying to get on the forum (Adult) page. For some reason, after they updated the page with their new design, I somehow can't get on there as easily. It comes up as a page that the computer doesn't recognize. Is anyone else experiencing this? Let me know...
