Hi, I am just wondering if everyone on here with CF always has something in their culture.. I have only cultured Psedumonas a few times and most of the time my cultures come back negative.. with only normal flora or normal bacteria in it.. I understand I am really lucky.. though my doctor...

I take Prednisone every day and when I am sick I take real high doses of it.. On a lower dose I don't notice to many side effects but on the higher dose I notice I am real moody, one minute I am crying the next I want to yell at everyone and the next I am in love with the world.. Prednisone can...

I am not a huge fan of divorce however, I do feel it has its place. I have CF but my parents didn't know when I was little... but I was sick all the time and my parents constantly fought.. My dad and mom got divorced when I was 12 and the divorce was final when I was 16. My dad married my moms...

I just wanted to post an update because everyone has been so great..... My insurance company called me back ... I am only responsible for $2500 .. which is maximum out of pocket co pay..That is it. The hospital was not looked at as Inner Circle where I would have a zero co pay, but it was...

I think it is okay for parents to come on here and vent if they want or ask questions or share ...... I did get a little upset because emotionally I hate being a burden to my family.. I hate it hate it hate it.. I feel like I am taking years off their lives because they worry so much about me...

My first reaction to you was I felt bad for you.. but if you are like me at all that is the last thing that we need or want.. I totally understand how you feel and in fact was thinking the same way last night. My PFTS are quite high but I have a ton of other medical conditions which make me feel...

Hi, I work part time in an emergency room about 16 hours a week. I spend most of the time doing patient care but if I get to tired, I switch and put drs orders in the computer or make calls to doctors or discharge papers whatever as long as I sit down. My work is very, very, good to me and...

AWWWWW Emily that is so cute that Mike wears your old bracelett around his neck.. What a sweet and loving thing to do.... I just had to comment on that ..... He sounds like a keeper........ I don't know if it is the steroids that are making me sweat more or what, I don't feel like I am...

I love this topic.. I bet we all could be called the Queens and Kings of Happy Face. I usually am pretty happy though and don't have to fake it, what makes me unhappy and drained is having to explain to everyone that I am okay ... I spend so much time doing that, that it makes me drained and...

OOps that wasn't a question that was asked of me.. I just reread the post.....duh me

This is kind of funny and dumb at the same time. Being that I was just dx at 29 and my parents are divorced..they really don't get along and have not spoken in years.. My dad insists that it was my mothers side of the family that gave me CF.. he said their is no way that he could have done that...

I was wondering if anyone else has the same problem as me... All my jewlery is breaking right off of me... My necklaces are just falling right apart the chain is litterally crumbling, my braceletts are turning colors so fast and then the chain breaks... I know that I have had CF my whole life...

Oh you poor thing, That guy who said that to you should be put out of business...Don't listen to him and don't go back to him... The only way to be dx with CF is to have a sweat chloride test or a genetic test done. Their is no way a doctor can say you have CF by doing accupuncture, at least...
