I've used it in the past and it helped my breathing, but it aways gave me thrush, despite rinsing my mouth afterwards. Now I take either Symbicort or Flovent + Serevent and I don't have the problem with thrush and it seems to work on my lungs just as well.

LOL, ouch. I have done something similar. I use a Sinupulse to rinse my sinuses, and I'm supposed to run vinegar + water through it every few weeks to clean out the salt. Well, TWICE I have forgotten to run plain water though it after running the vinegar, and then, when I went to rinse my...

I'm pretty sure that the normal population does not culture Staph, because, if I culture Staph, my culture results read "Staph." But if I don't culture it (or PA), my culture results read "Normal Respiratory Flora."

I am almost positive that you can't boil the Altera metal head. I always pack my baby bottle sterilizer. It is a pain in the butt, but I don't really know what else to do, other than buying a sterilizer when I get to my destination. Edited to add: I just read this on Cayston's website: <ol>...

<div class="FTQUOTE"><begin quote><i>Originally posted by: <b>edan</b></i> Kristen (or anyone else who knows). I have heard of the baby shampoo before, but I have a question. Do you culture pseudomonas already? I am afraid the shampoo, not sterilized, will cause a bacterial infection of some...

<div class="FTQUOTE"><begin quote><i>Originally posted by: <b>saveferris2009</b></i> Lots of CFers have untreated allergies. </end quote> I was just coming back to post about this! I started allergy shots back in November and I think it's also helped my sinuses (and my lungs).

Congratulations!

The following treatments have really, really, REALLY helped me. I went from constant postnasal drip and sinus headaches to hardly any symptoms: - Mix 1/4 cup alkalol, 3/4 cup water, a Neilmed hypertonic saline packet, 3 drops baby shampoo, and one drop grapefruit seed extract. Use this to rinse...

I am not the parent of a child with CF, but I wanted to chime in that I love Child of Mine! It has been so helpful in feeding my fussy-eating daughter. I am happy to see people recommending it!

I take Zyrtec.

Wow! This is so interesting! I haven't had issues with general anesthesia, but I have always had the problem with novocain at the dentist. And, after I gave birth, the nurse commented on how I had used ALL of my bag of "epidural numbing stuff" (not sure of the correct term), and that she had...

Are you taking any fertility drugs as part of the IUIs? I did two natural IUIs and they both failed, but I've done three clomid-IUIs and they all resulted in pregnancy (one was a m/c, one was my daughter, and I just found out about the third today). I'm not sure why the clomid helps, but it...

This x 1000! I am hoping that a journal article will help people get the drug off-label.

I like the idea of trying one thing at a time. I eliminated dairy for about six months while I was nursing (because I thought maybe my daughter had a milk protein intolerance). I did not notice any difference in my health. I am interested in seeing how eliminating grains and sugar may help, but...
