What is interesting to me is that (at least in the hospitals I've been in) they've been using hypertonic saline for years to induce sputum cultures. The higher salt content evidently can help loosen mucus and make it easier to cough something up. For that reason alone it ought to be part of our...

Talk to your clinic because they may be able to make some or all of the arrangements for you. My clinic set me up by prescribing the Vest, contacting the company to have it placed in my home and then sending out a tech to teach me to use it. The Vest company is great (Hill-Rom <A...

Thanks Miesl for the Snopes link. Very thorough. Two of the things they don't address is how the use of any tampon overdries the vaginal walls and how the slight adherence to the walls and the subsequent removal effects the vagina. In case there was any misunderstanding, my periods were not...

I had problems with my leg joints in high school and I was on antibiotics nearly constantly. One of them was Cipro. A couple of years ago, when my daughter was four months old and exclusively nursing, the docs wanted me to take Cipro. I consulted La Leche League's Medical Board and was advised...

I was diagnosed at 7 months old. Before that everyone told my parents I had "failure to thrive" which usually indicates neglect and crushed my parents. My parents knew that of all the things that could be wrong with me neglect wasn't one of them. I was in terrible shape when I was diagnosed and...
