    Anyone else have reactive hypoglycemia?

    The nutritionist at CF clinic told me I have reactive hypoglycemia - Every morning, I wake up feeling fine, sometimes hungry, and eat breakfast at around 7:30. Around 10:00, my blood sugar crashes - I feel ravenous, spacey, shaky, and sometimes sweaty. I eat a snack with protein and carbs, which...

    I want to know what percent of CFers work

    After I finished college, I spent four years working full-time for a private engineering firm, which meant I worked about 50 hours a week. I felt like I was running on a treadmill, fitting in treatments, exercise, working, doctor's appointments, and then all of the "life" stuff like taking the...

First, as far as treatments go, can you do some of them while you nurse? I used to do hypertonic saline while nursing, because I figured there was no harm if...

    Peak Flow vs PFTs

    Thanks for the responses. I am definitely going to ask my CF doctor about it at my next clinic visit. I found a spirometery print-out from about two years ago, and it says my FEV1 was 110%, but my FEF 25% was only 87% predicted (about 300 L/sec compared to the 400 L/sec I blow in the peak flow...

    Peak Flow vs PFTs
