Manny, As you probably know because of your cousin, CF doesn't affect the brain, cognitive abilities or the ability to learn. A person with CF is just as able-minded and intelligent as someone without, unless they have another reason not to be (learning disability, cerebral palsy etc). So when...

A chart works well to check things off- another good thing is a day-of-the-week pill container, which I use and it makes keeping track of meds much easier. Just a thought <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Belinda, I'm not Kylie, but I'll give an answer anyway <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">. I'm not sure if you are asking if the meds he is currently on are making his case of pseudomonas worse, or if you are asking if any cold medicine he may have been on could have...

Wow Emily, I wish my high school had more interesting electives- we have nothing as cool as sign language.

This thread got me thinking, and I wound up making a list of CF-related costs for this year. Basically, the total for everything I could think of (and I'm sure I didn't think of EVERYTHING, and might be off on some things) was $10,300. That's a LOT of money.

Slightly random on my part, but Emily, how did you get interested in sign language? Did you have a deaf person in your life growing up? I'm just wondering because it is a fairly unique career path <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

CF gets very expensive! We have a copay of at least $20 on each of my prescriptions, which total about 10-12 a month. Plus those things not covered by insurance- vitamins, calcium supplements, the high calorie food. Also like someone else mentioned, being in the hospital can be costly- the...

Eva Fev1 and FVC are things measured by a PFT (you probably already knew that <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">) FVC is forced vital capacity. FEV1 is forced expir volume/ 1 sec.

What I was saying was that the law, in idea, was a good plan (although even before it was passed, I never really had any trouble avoiding smoke indoors). However, when it was actually put into action, a whole new problem was created (as Emily said). I feel that seeing the way the streets are so...

In New York City, Mayor Bloomberg passed a law banning smoking in all restaurants/clubs/bars. I suppose I'd appreciate this if I frequented the NYC club scene, but I don't. Instead, if I happen to be in NYC on a Friday or Saturday night, the streets are clogged with people standing outside their...
