Anonymous 2 posts previous, Some CFers don't need enzymes. If you really feel like the enzymes are of no use now, you can ask your doctor to perform a fecal fat test, where you collected your child's stool for 3 days while either taking or not taking enzymes (depending on what they order the...

My mom HAD to return to work after my parents were divorced, though in a perfect world she would have rather stayed home with me. Doctors advised her against daycare, so I got a nanny, even though it was more expensive. I had no problem meeting other kids to interact with and be friends with...

The parameters we were given was that enzymes last 45 minutes, so if I am eating over a period of time (say, at a formal dinner), I spread them out and take some with bread/salad, some with the entree and some with dessert.

They suspected CF prenatally because they saw a blockage on a sonogram, and at birth, it was assumed, and it was confirmed with a sweat test

Actually, I believe he could have divorced her after a certain period of time even without her consent, sort of like a person can divorce a spouse who is in jail for a certain amount of time.

I agree CF is NOT a blessing. Sure, I do believe it has made me a better and stronger person, but never, ever in my life would I say "Oh, I've been blessed with CF." The thought of saying that is, to me, so ridiculous I can't help but laugh.

Garden State, Napoleon Dynamite, Zoolander, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, In America, Romy and Michelles High School Reunion, Philadelphia, and Anchorman at the moment. IT changes sometimes though.

Why wouldn't there be child support?

Lovemygirl, There was a time that once you got pseudomonas, you had it. I think that has changed to a degree in recent years, but it still is a pretty smart little bug. Here are the possibilities in my mind about your daughter-- #1. She never actually was rid of pseudomonas, it is just that the...

My friend without CF recently went to the Dominican Republic and had to take malaria pills for a time before and after going. Since she has a 'healthy' body compared to us and was still required to take them, you probably still will want to

I've never seen a commercial about CF either. I've seen print ads, and TV shows, but never a commercial.

Night sweats can be a sign of infection and indicate the need for treatment sometimes.

Jennifer That's so great that you are involved already! I just wanted to say, don't be disheartened if you don't get a tremendous response off of this website, since I know a lot of people on here participate in walks near their homes themselves. <img...

Consider posting this in 'on topic' boards too.

You're welcome guys... and thanks Colleen for pointing out my typo... it is in fact L14222, I just was lacking a two in my original post. I felt the need to post this because I only found out about it because my mom HAPPENED to be on cff.org, so I figured not that many people knew about it...

<blockquote>Quote<br><hr>....instead of being nasty, let's direct them in the right direction, ok? <hr></blockquote> Which is exactly what Kylie did, so I don't know who your post is intended for.

Julie, Thanks for taking the reins, because I sat down earlier and began to type up a response to Carey, but all my descriptions were poor and didn't really explain what the Flutter does Carey, Glad you got your answer one way or the other Amy, Glad Allie's feeling better. Like I said, she...

Luke, That woman should have had more tact talking about CF in case you DID in fact have it, but I give her credit for actually knowing what CF was. A side note here-- my friends who were NOT with me on the "Lady In Red" night (see previous posts) keep wishing it would happen again, so that...

Happy St. Pat's from New Jersey (but with blood from Counties Kerry and Cork)! Erin Go Bragh!

Allie may be too young, but I find the Flutter much more pleasant when I have a cold or virus. When I'm sick, I sometimes find manual PT downright painful, so those times I use solely the Flutter
