    PICCs and clots

    Not sure about the PICC, but whenever my port won't flush and if they suspect a clot, they inject a clot-buster type medicine (I'll probably remember the name of it at 3 in the morning). In order to get it into the line, they use a stopcock, which uses some type of reverse pressure to pull the...

    Do you have good posture?

    Interesting... I don't have the best posture either and today in my clinical psych class we learned about diaphramatic breathing and how, if you are sitting up straight, you breath more from your chest and less from your diaphragm... wonder if this could have anything to do with it?

    work load

    CF camps

    Totally have been thinking about bringing this topic up. About 3-4 years ago my dad got the manager position at the camprgrounds that Camp Funshine goes to. Needless to say, the camp is considered an outlaw camp and they basically freaked when they found out that the manger's daughter has CF...

    PFT question?

    I believe the numbers that you are reporting are actually percentages. The actual FEV1 is a number (I think usually between 0 and 2) that is the amount of liters... which is then turned into a percentage of what is expected for your age, height, weight, sex, etc. Not sure about the FVC and...

    Factor V Leiden

    I have Factor V Leiden.... I also have a port, but we just have to flush it more often to make sure it doesn't get any blood clots in it. I'm also on Plavix for the hyperclotting. Kind of confused as to why your daughter can't be on IV's for more than a week... I usually do at least two weeks...

    G-Tube in Adults

    Hey Guys, I currently have a g-tube which I have had since I was about 8 years old and lately have not needed to use it at all. First, I started to not use it at home because I could maintain my weight and would only do feedings when I was in the hospital and lost my appetite due to the...
