    I was able increase my lung functions by 15%

For example, it stimulates appetite, puts on much needed lean tissue, increases blood flow...

    I was able increase my lung functions by 15%

    I've always believed that exercise is the key to CF and I'm glad PX90 is working for you! When I was really sick and trying my hardest to stop my decline, I worked out harder than I did when preparing for the marathon. My CF doc advised me that exercise, surprisingly, doesn't impact FEV1. Well...

    Do you take Mucinex??

    I have also heard that it dries the lungs out. And definitely avoid the cough suppressant, but that goes without saying. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

    How to get your CF Child to gain Weight

    When I was 12 I began lifting weights under supervision and I gained about 20 pounds that first year. My appetite increased because of the increased energy demands.

    Problems with Levaquin

    The only reaction I've ever had to an abx was to levaquin. It was terrible. It made my achilis tendon became really sore, insomnia, and my stomach was in pain. When I told my doc about these side effects, they had me switch to another abx immediately. Apparently these side effects, if gone on...

    Just watched the Bucket List movie...

    Thanks Lindsey.... How funny....but since my tx, I've also made and stuck to a goal list. I'd never done that before, but since I felt like I had a future, I figured I had to make a goal list. My bucket list is coming along....and yes, skydiving is on it. So is climbing the Himalayas. Seriously.

    Just watched the Bucket List movie...

    I have to say that I thought I was living life to the max post TX. But after watching that movie, it is clear to me that the fear of dying isn't as strong in me anymore, and so, the willingness to live life like I was dying isn't as strong. Watching this movie reminded me of how fragile I used...
