Haha, I come across this post as I'm eating a steak and a baked potato at 2am! I'm so bad with eating, due to a combination of tempermental appetite, a crazy schedule (I work 3pm-11pm), and plain old laziness -- so when I suddenly get the urge for a real meal and am motivated enough to actually...

OK how did you guys get your old monster machine traded in for the new one?? Because I REALLY want the 104, I hate attempting to lug the 103 anywhere, but various people at clinic have assured me it's nearly impossible to trade in the old for the new (unless the old one breaks, which given its...

I just have to say when I first saw this topic as I quickly scanned the topic list, I did a triple take because I misread lobectomys as LOBOTOMIES! Haha!! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif" border="0">

You may already know this, but it's also possible to pull a muscle or fracture a rib from coughing. I did this in October, and let me tell you the pain was AWFUL, when it was at its worst I really couldn't function and needed painkillers for a while. I didn't even think I had been coughing THAT...

All the talk about the oregano oil has been very interesting and I'm looking into it... Just wondering if anyone knows if there's a difference in effectiveness/potency/etc. between something like oreganol which is actually in liquid oil form, versus something like oregamax which looks more like...

I was raised Jewish, moderately religious. In high school I became more religious and am now an Orthodox Jew (or fanatic, as I like to say -- but my coworkers have told me I'm the most respectful and down to earth fanatic they've ever met <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif"...

A friend of mine recently asked me for info on CF because she noticed her baby tasted salty. She said he seems pefectly healthy, and though he has frequent bowel movements and goes through an abnormal amount of diapers a day he has no problem gaining weight and is even kinda chubby. This is her...

I also wasn't so into the Flutter, I much prefer using Therapep -- it has resistance for you to blow against, and is soooo much easier to get right because there's a thing that moves as you blow and you just have to blow the right pressure to get it in the target area. They gave me one at clinic...

ROTFL!!!!!! Oh my gosh that was so hilarious, I was so afraid to look and now I'm cracking up!!

AND yet another thread starts winding its way towards being locked............

Another Jersey person here who goes to Philly (Hi Mary! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> ) -- there's a small CF clinic practically across the street from Drexel at Presbyterian Medical Center, it's at 39th and Market. It's run by Dr. Douglas Holsclaw, I've been...

Just another idea, you might want to find CF doctors to talk to as well, I know many of them are very dedicated to their patients and helping us naviagte these issues. And since they see so many patients they're probably even more aware of the critical issues surrounding CF care than we are...

I just have to say, Jarrod: I love the dragon thing! HEE! Have you ever tried blowing smoke rings with your neb meds? I enjoy showing that one off to people the first time they see me nebbing. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> As for destressing, I'm not so good at...

I also end up itching like crazy after vesting... right after I finish I usually give in and scratch like a madwoman for like 30 seconds, and then just leave it alone -- the itching usually goes away pretty quickly once I get the vest off. I always feel like I'm breaking out of some sort of...

RE:Help me out Cfers...and non Cfers.... That last post was me, forgot to log in, oops. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Luke I used to do the same thing up through high school -- heck, if I still took as many I'd probably still be freaking people out with the monsterous handful of enzymes I gulped down all at once (I switched from Pancreas to Creon several years ago and am able to take fewer pills with Creon). I...

Cipro kills my joints too, my knees have been awful since I started it, I feel like an arthritic old woman whenever I have to struggle to kneel down or get up from a kneeling position! Cipro used to always be my last resort before tune-ups, I'd be on it very briefly and it did nothing. I just...

I've gotten the MS confusion too, don't know what was up with that. One time when the whole anthrax scare was going on I was in a store and was coughing, and a guy nearby looked up and smirked and said "Anthrax?" <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">

LOL! You guys are nuts, I love it! This thread might come to rival the "Things that Annoy You about Non-CFers" thread for laughs! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">
