Isn't Jaime the ultrasound tech from Boston... I always thought it was a she, maybe I'm rong. But ditto, where have yu been and how are you doing?

Are you TRYING to be offensive? I'm straight, and I'm still offended by your comments. EDIT: this is not directed at the initial poster (although I am not necessarily sure this board was the best place to post this--off topic perhaps?), but to those who made rude remarks instead of maintaining a...

I think Jena's son (maybe daughter but I think son) has CF

I agree that through our experiences we can teach others and learn ourselves, but I don't like to believe that that was the reason I was given CF.

Can you post the URL... this computer doesn't "do" links

Thanks Kylie. Yeah, 470 would definitely be considered high!

Wouldn't 26 be considered a very LOW blood sugar and indicative of hypoglycemia as opposed to diabetes?

I agree with you, not just because I have CF, but because when i think about it, I can't imgaine that everything that has happened in history has happened for a reason. Tellthat to a 9-11 wido or somone whose infant has died of leukemia, that their husbands or wives or babies died because it was...

Mine never hurt, but sometimes they get itchy and scratching them is a weirdsensation

To clarify, I have a SCAR from an illeostomy bag, the illeostomy itself was reversed while I was a few week old.

I sort of agree about "other people have it worse" as an argument for accepting CF/ as a method some people like to cheer me up with. I always feel compelled to say, "But tons more have t better" <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Right on Emily. I have two prominent scars on my stomach from meconium illeus and an ileostomy bag, plus a peg. I wear two pieces and don't feel embarassed at all. I f someone asks me about the scars, I think its a good chance to explain a little about CF.

The bacteria that most people would probably call 'the CF bug' is pseudomonas. There are different strains of it, but theyall belong to the same general heading of pseudomonas. The bacteria doesn't really change from being pseudomonas, but it does mutate itself and therfore the antibiotics that...

Jen, The infection is there, the reason they call it precautionary is because it is done to PREVNT lu ng damagem from infection. The idea is if the already existing infections are contrlled, lung damage will be limited

I have an Innie, but I must say that my innie is not as 'in' as other people's innies

The test results should not take that long to calculate, they should be able to get them to you within 24 hours. I was really young when I had the test, but if I am recalling correctly, my mom said that they used electrodes to enduce sweating, not literally overheating with layters of clothes...

I know I'm not an adult diagnosed (I'm not even an adult yet LOL), but about joint pain- a lot of CFers have joint pain and CF related arthritis, though I'm not sure why. Just wanted to say it is fairly common.

i don't know how much of a response you'll get, since lots of us CFers are underweight. While it's not healthy to be excessively overweight, when our infections flare up its very helpful to have a little more meat on the bones

I just conferred with Mom, and she said the only solution to this problem was to change my brand of enzyme to Cotazyme, which is a powder enzyme and therefore invisible to a baby's questioning tongue. She said she had to convince the doctor to do it, but it was a great thing because once I was...

Most hspitals ban their nurses and staff members from having acrylic nails-- because studies have shown that underneath the nails tons of bacteria and especially pseudomonas, harbors. I know we can't avoid pseudomonas everywhere, but having it embedded under your nails is probably not a good thing
