Another thing to add is that the owner of the home laid fresh mulch all around the property right after we moved in. The smell was initially very strong and is still giving off odor. Could the mulch be contributing to my symptoms as well?

About 3 weeks ago we moved into a new rental house. It appears to be in good, clean condition, built in 1950. Ever since I have slept in this house I feel horrible. My chest is tight, feels "heavy" actually, increased congestion, even slight chest pain every so often, etc. I went for my check up...

Thanks guys. I did not know about the roll-over option, so I'll be sure to ask. "Hammerpocket," I'm sorry to hear that you did worse-you had a vertex drug, not a placebo, is that right?

Hey everyone? I am about to start a vertex-661 trail. My question is: For anyone that has been enrolled in any of the vertex studies and have RECEIVED the drug, what happens when the trial is over and you stop taking the drug? does your lung function drop/you go back to feeling how you did...

Kgfrompa, this same thing just happened to me 2 weeks ago. I was on inhaled colistin, no other antibiotics (hadn't been on IV's for 6 months), and all of the sudden one day my ear closed, I lost hearing, & got a loud, screeching ringing in my left ear. Has been there ever since & hasn't gone...

Thank you both for your replies. Amber, did your hearing loss start with ringing in the ears or did you just notice it was hard to hear? I'm do sorry you had/have to deal with this. But, you are right. We need to do what is best for our health & learn to deal with the other issues as they come...

On Sunday afternoon, out of the blue I was brushing my teeth & noticed that my left ear felt clogged & my hearing was muffled on that ear. Within 5 minutes I got a loud, very loud ringing in that ear. I saw an ENT yesterday who did a hearing test & diagnosed me with sensorineuro hearing loss...

Going on vacation. How do you sterilize the altera neb without using the Nuk sterilizer? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Sorry you are going through this. The thing that helps me when I am on IV's & can't get my FEV1 back to baseline is prednisone. Have you been on that before? I would talk to your doc about considering it. Nothing worse than that "tight" feeling in your chest. Hope Feel better soo!! <img...

I lived in Chicago my whole life & recently moved to a different state. About a year before I left Chicago I switched from U of Chicago to Northwestern. I liked the Adult Dr at Northwestern better. He seemed to have more experince with adult CF & the adult program seemed way more established. I...
