Hi Nuca, Maybe you can be more specific? What would you like to know?

Hey, I can't offer much help because CF does not affect my pancreas. Nevertheless I am a bit surprised to read that your doctor advised you to keep a low fat diet. I thought all CFers needed a diet with a lot of fat foods, but I could be wrong. Are you taking enzymes? Anyway, I'll let other...

Hi! Thanks for your response. I've sent you a private message.

Dear all, I've recently learned that I'm going to start on night oxygen. I am completely devastated about this, with ups and downs but more downs for the time being. I am also in shock because I sleep so well, I have no headches and I feel rested, energetic and active during the day. So nothing...

The machine didn't work! It didn't register anything. They said this has never happened before. Will have to go again and repeat the test. He also said I shouldn't worry because he's not doing this because he sees a decline, but because we recently found out that I breathe ineffectively and if...

I have my appointment today in a few hours, have to say I'm pretty nervous but definitely more positive than last week (depressionville!). Also, I stopped working last week and I already feel better, what a difference, it was a good move. I feel way more energized. In answer to some of your...

Thanks for your responses. When I woke up I had an o2 sat of 95% but I think that's normal because I had just been asleep, so it goes up right? I'll find out the results in my next appointment, on May 23. I'll keep you posted!

Hi Jonathan. These last few weeks have been very tough, between losing my job (my department was made redundant) and now this, so I'm blowing everything out of proportion due to elevated stress levels. What is SpO2? I assume that 92-93% sats while awake definitely means a drop to below 88% in...

Hello, I'm in the hospital for a sleep study and my o2 sat has just been measured and it's 92-93% while awake. I'm devastated, as now I'm sure that it's too low and it will lower in my sleep. Now I have a few questions: 1- will I necessarily need oxygen when flying, if I need it at night? 2-...

I think it should be no problem as well. Would you feel comfortable in case somebody walks in while you're doing the treatment? If not, give them a heads up just to avoid awkwardness. Good luck!
