    Hospitalizations

    I usually go into the hospital once a year. This past year was a little worse for me than usual, I had to be on home IV's for 3 weeks on top of my once a year stay, but hopefully 2006 will be better.

    Suicidal

    I don't ever want my life to be over, but there are times where I wish I could just take a vacation from CF. I think everyone has those moments, even the ones that just love us CFers, but that's not life and no one ever said it would make since or be fair. I try to stay focused on the...

    Sad and Totally Confused

    OK, it's taken me a week to get to the point that I can talk about this, so here it goes. I went to my clinic visit last wed, Feb 1, and my FEV1 is down to 45% from 48%. But here's the confusing and sad part. I have been working so hard these past 2 months to get them back up to around 50%...

    specialise?

    I wouldn't think it would be a problem at all. I would welcome someone looking after me that really has an interest in it. As long as you take the same precautions that the CF centers require. I think you would be a blessing to any CFers that you would be working with because you could...

    Favorite Super Bowl Commercial

    I thought the one with the animals playing football and the "naked" sheep streaked through the game and mooned them. That was hillarious, the sad thing is I can't remember what it was advertising!

    Adults living with CF

    I agree to pace yourself. I am a real estate agent, so I get to set my own hours. I couldn't imagine having to work a 9 to 5 job. The stress would be too much. I looked into this job for the simple reason of being able to come and go as I please. Once I got into it I loved it but this line...

    Late night munchies

    I swear SeanDavis you can think of the craziest things to get us all talking about, it keeps me very entertained at work- so thank you! Anyways, I didn't think I had any real cravings until I caught myself last night begging my husband to go down to the gas station and get me some...

    Port Access

    I got my port placed in June and wonder why I didn't do this earlier. It's so much easier than PICCs. Mine is under my left collerbone and I can do all of my treatments with it. When mine is accessed I can still take a shower as long as I just have my back facing the water and don't stand in...

    bananas

    I was only told to take my enzymes with fatty food also. It's always worked for me. Never had any problems with veggies or fruit or drinks. Everything else I take them with, but then I don't take as many enzymes as some on here, just one Creon 20 with meals.

    Has Anyone Ever Tried A Saltwater Mist?

    My CF center in Atlanta has had their patients on hypertonic saline for about 2 years now, but the only time they put me on it is when I'm admitted to the hospital for a "tune up". Seems to work fine, maked me cough a lot, but that's the point. I'm not sure what the dose was, I just had to...

    cf centers

    I go to the CF center in Atlanta. Have gone there for 26 years and it's 4 hours away from me. It's well worth it, they've kept me going strong this long.
