A port is a little plastic top-hat looking thing. The top is thick rubber in the center so that needles can pierce it and the bottom is sealed. There is a little tube that comes out one side. Dr.s insert the port under your skin and attatch it to muscle and then run the tube up to your...

I just wanted to correct this post that ovulation is not based on 2 weeks after first day of your period. It occurs 2 weeks BEFORE the first day of your next period. Common misconception, because if you're on a 4 week cycle it works out the same, but if your cycles are shorter or longer it can...

Thanks Sonia. It hard to feel isolated sometimes. Like noone else understands. We've settled into having dinner a little early, at about 6:00, we do the dishes immediately afterward. Then I start my tx at about 7:00pm, it lasts until about 7:45 (if I'm doing TOBI too) or 7:30. Then we have some...

Siobhan, how do you pronounce that? I've seen the name before and wondered.

I was on the swim team when I had my port put in, so it was important to me to put it somewhere that wouldn't be seen in a swimsuit. That one was below my left breast, but I had trouble when I lay on my stomach with it rubbing my ribs and with my bras irritating it, perhaps it was placed too...

I concur. I do not remember ever having "the talk." I do however remember a story of going to the coffee shop with my grandfather and he told everyone who came in to ask me why I took so many pills (cause he thought my answer was so cute). I'd say, " I have sixt-eye two-brosis and my tummy...

I had my gallbladder out after being bedridden by nausea and stomach pain for months. That helped, but only temporarily. Then they found that I had H. Pylori (the bacteria that causes ulcers). I was treated with a round of antibiotics for that and I've had no problems since. Incidentally, it has...

There's going to be a total lunar eclipse tonight starting at about 9:30 EST. This won't happen again until March 2007. So, get outside tonight if you can (or tomorrow for those of you in Europe)! The moon should appear red/orange and it's a full moon to boot!

I am seen at a Children's hospital but the CF clinic has a specific day that it sees the Adult patients and they bring in special adult docs for that day. The reason we use the Children's hospital is because we have great techs and social workers and coordinators, so that way we don't have to...

I think you ought to sign a card and order a pizza to be delivered (that's what I'd want! haha) THAT is sensitive. I think we all appreciate the thought, but hospital food is horrible and getting something pleasant to eat is GREAT! Check with her family or call her to see if you can visit & tell...
