    DF508ers who participated in VX-770 trials

    Amy, I'm impressed that your doc is willing to prescribe it for you. My insurance says they will cover it off-label, but my doc was still hesitant to prescribe it for me, even though I have R117H. (He said he didn't want to be the roadblock to me getting it, but he was concerned about it not...

    azithromycin

    I have done azithromycin twice - the first time it made me feel a lot better but tore apart my stomach. My stomach hurt so much that I was more miserable overall, so I stopped taking it. That was over 5 years ago. Three months ago my doctor asked me if I wanted to give it another try, so I did...

    What are our real PFT numbers

    Hmmm, that is weird. I'm pretty sure the numbers are based on Sex, Age, Weight, and Height, but I don't think they change that dramatically even if you do have a birthday or gain/lose weight. Could the new clinic have entered something wrong into the computer? I can't answer the question about...

    CF/bronchiectasis moms

    It is a tough decision! I agree that coming up with a plan in advance is a great idea. You are lucky you have family close that can help. My CF doctor said having a good support system is the most important thing. For me, pregnancy was easy and did not affect my health at all (but I do have...

    Doing cayston on the go

    I started Cayston last May and I think all of my heads still work - I get a new one with each treatment cycle and I haven't been good about keeping track of which one is which, if that makes sense. How do you know if one still works? My RT said that I should toss them if they treatments start...

    FDA drugs

    Ditto Anomie - if you have a gating mutation or R117H, it is worth talking to your doctor (and/or you could look into the clinical trials they are starting this year). The prescribing info for Kalydeco specifically says that it does not work for doubleDF508.
