    Port Placement Options

    That stinks Emily. Going to the ER doesn't sound like it will be fun, but hopefully, they can get your port flowing nicely again. Good luck, and bring a good book.<img src="i/expressions/heart.gif" border="0">

    coughing up blood

    I'm pretty sure Pulmozyme can cause bleeding (as I THINK people who have hemoptysis are told to stop PUlmo), but that doesn't mean that in your case, it is Tobi that causes your bleeding

    Alcohol and i.v.s

    Luke- There is actually a theory that the CF gene makes a person immune to choolera. I don't know if there is anything to it, but it may be similar to the theory you heard.

    Levaquin side effects

    I was just rereading and saw that I stated that I had 'one four inch high shoe'. I did, in fact have two shoes ON, both of which were four inches high LOL. And to the previous poster, Levaquin is an antibiotic.

    Levaquin side effects

    Levaquin made me dizzy. Years ago, at my 8th grade graduation, we had to talk about 2 blocks to our graduation site from school, and I was little wobbly from Levaquin. Notto mention I had one 4 inch high shoes!

    Any one Party?

    In terms of 'partying', I don't drink or smoke anything or do any drugs--and I never would, cause of CF. I like to hang out with friends though, and love some good music to dance to. As I said to a doctor who advised me not to drink while on an antibiotic, "That's easy. I don't drink. My...

    User names

    Min is from the musical Rent (specifically, the song 'Another Day"). I just like the line a olot, so I made it my user name. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

    What do you do?

    Kelli, Are you referring to Kingda Ka at Great Adventure (the tallest coaster in the world)? If so, my friend said it was the scariest thing she's ever done- she actually has bruises from the rapidness of the speed increase! Have fun-- I want to try it sometime this summer too!

    IV antibiotics

    I've used Zofran a few times, and I've found it very effective (I finally got some sleep after vomiting every 15 minutes for 10 hours). One thing I was told about it though, is that after more than 5 consecutive doses, it will lose its affecttiveness. I'm not sure why, but that's what I was...

    humidifiers vs vaporizers

    I've been told ideal humidity levels are between 30-50%, so get a humidistat and see what the humidity is in your home. After a week or so of levels (including rainy and nice weather), you may find you don't need a humidifier, or only need one on especially hot days, etc. If you do wind up...

    Tomorrow on DHC..

    I thought it was kind of ironic/bizarre that they featured obese people getting a tummy tucks in an episode with CFers, who struggle to maintain a normal weight... LOL. But it was a good show overall

    Pseudomonas smell

    If you use a spit cup to expectorate, give it a little whiff sometime. If you are a person who cultures pseudomonas regularly, you may notice a semi-sweet smell that is a little sickening. That's what I consider pseudomonas smell, and if I am feeling worse I can sometimes smell it on my breath...

    question

    I don't know the first thing about having an abortion or anything like that, but Debbie may have the right idea about contacting Planned Parenthood to discuss the risks. And let me say this before more people start hounding this woman about the very fact she wants to get an abortion: Abortion...
