    Healthcare in California

    Cobra is what they call it when you adopt your health coverage from a former employer, guess that's not applicable to you. That's what I used until I qualified. I think it was like 6 months to qualify for ghpp, check their website for details. It's meant for Cali residents only. Many CFer's...

    Has this happened to you and if so, how often???

    I don't think it's too strange you cough more throughout the day then during treatments. I argued w/ my docs for years that b/c I had a productive cough throughout the day I didn't need airway clearance. Eventually they convinced me it'll loosen stuff up, even if I don't cough it up then. Maybe...

    Has this happened to you and if so, how often???

    I only had like 3-4 week breaks earlier this year. It's definitely a concern you should ask your doctor about, ask if there's other abx you can take instead of what they had you on last time. Like Joni said, are you on saline? Tobi? are you active? doing some airway clearance? It's likely bad...

    Healthcare in California

    I moved to CA in 2003. I think you need to live here for a few months to establish residency first, if you won't have a job and do now, just live off cobra until then. It's a little scary that we might lose the program, my (very optimistic) hope is that if they ever drop GHPP we'll have some...

    In need of a double lung transplant!!

    I was just at the CFRI adult retreat last week. Six of the CF'ers there are post-transplant, one of them 12 years post-tx, which means it was done in 1997. I'm sure they've gotten better at it. On the other hand I had 2 friends where it didn't work out so well. From what I've heard it's a life...
