    Rallying the troops.... we need to get together on this

    I think Lauren has some valid points. 770 was created for one mutation. The FDA approved the drug for that ONE mutation. It is hard not to become emotional about these issues but I believe that the FDA can choose to make the approval process longer if we step in and start trying to change the...

    Weight

    I ate out A LOT to gain weight. Its expensive but its the only thing that worked for me. I could eat foods I loved and get a big quantity. Then always get a dessert. I had to stretch my stomach slowly. Also ask for butter on the side no matter what you order. And slather it on everything...

    G551D patients on Kalydeco

    Oh, and if you participated in the study for kalydeco, did Vertex require you to be genotyped again prior to starting the study to verify they were indeed studying the accurate mutation? (more recently a person was incorrectly genotyped and found out they WERE g551d instead of homozygous f508)

    G551D patients on Kalydeco

    Compassionate Care Program. I was wondering if there was anyone on here that started it prior to approval that was NOT in the study and the approximate date they started.
