    So confused....no diagnosis...stop looking?

    I would push for CF dna blood test. why? All CF is not alike. Why can't the CF clinic at your hospital order this?

    So confused....no diagnosis...stop looking?

    Appeal that in writing immediately and send it certified mail. It absolutely does change treatment. CF means you need a CF clinic and CF specific meds like pancreatic enzymes, orkambi, specific antibiotics and nebulizer meds. PCD does not use the same meds. Accurate dx affects not only health...

    So confused....no diagnosis...stop looking?

    I will call it like I see it: ignorant, stupid and egotistical doctor. Ditch this person and find a new doc and a better doc. I test negative on sweat tests and I have CF. Get a DNA blood test - your pediatrician/PCP can order it. Heck any doctor can order it. A GOOD doctor will fight with the...

    Treatment for the mildly diseased

    If you don't need it, don't take it. These clinics want those of us with rare mutations to take things we don't need to observe the affects. I won't be guinea pig until I NEED the meds That's my two cents.

    Bacterial intestinal overgrowth
