    I NEED YOUR INPUT PLEASE

    I can respond to your first question by sharing my story: I cultured PA for the first time about 10 years ago. The doctor prescribed three months of Cipro and Tobi. It didn't get rid of the PA (but it did give me C. diff!). I continued to do Tobi every other month for a year, then I moved and my...

    for cf women

I don't know if it is thicker than normal because I haven't actually compared it to anything <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> , but my husband and I had trouble conceiving on our own...

    Swimming in lakes

    I grew up on a lake in Maine, so I swam in a lake almost every day of every summer for 18+ years and didn't culture PA until I was 23. Now it comes and goes in my cultures. My CF doctor told me PA is everywhere and that I need to live my life because, if I'm going to get it, I'm going to get it.

    exercise and the heat

Whenever I go on a long hike, I drink Gatorade - I didn't do this on a hike about 10 years ago and I got heat exhaustion. For DD (who doesn't have...

    What is your FEV1 Score?

    1) Long answer - I started culturing staph in my late teens, I believe. I cultured PA for the first time when I was 23. My cultures started showing "normal flora" about three years ago. Then they showed staph for a bit, and then it was back to "normal flora" for about a year. HOWEVER, I am never...
