    Elastase Test

    I just had an elastase test done. I don't know if the clinic is starting to do this now, but they wanted me to do it (and my sister also). I already knew I was pancreatic insufficient, but my test results came back as a 15. Anything over 200 is normal, 100-200 is mild to moderate PI, and...

    Question about Aspergillus/ABPA

    I've been trying to find info on line, but I'm not having much luck. I'll try to keep this as short as possible. What kind of reaction do people with CF usually have if they have ABPA? Is it just breathing issues or do you also have "allergy" type symptoms? I had an episode back in April...

    Probiotics

    I'm not sure of which flora is better, but I take Culturelle. That is what my cf clinic nurse said they recommend. I can't really tell a difference when I am on it, but I usually try and take it when I am taking antibiotics. Like ehtansky21 said, it is expensive (about $24 for 30 days).

    Question about Prednisone

    Thanks for all the replies. I am still a bit sore today, but it isn't as bad as it was yesterday. I'm still guessing it is the Prednisone. It was only a short course (8 days). The first 2 days he wanted me to take 4 pills (80mg total) and the remaining days were 2 pills a day (40 mg total)...

    Question about Prednisone

    I know a lot of CFers use Prednisone, so hopefully someone can answer this for me. I just finished up an 8 day course this past Wednesday. I had a reaction to something and they put me on prednisone for it (that's another story-I've never had an allergic reaction to something). I have only...

    Survey

    Hello. I received an email request to do a survey earlier this year. I, too, was picking up some bad vibes from it. I also posted on here about it. My post was deleted because I had put the company info in my post and I guess that isn't allowed, but I did pm Jeanne several times about it...

    For 65rosessamurai (Fred)

    Hi Robert. No, it's not a true biography. It is a book of those crazy Chuck Norris jokes (101 of them). It lists the quote and then Chuck Norris has a few comments after each one. Chuck Norris did write the book and a lot of stuff that he mentions in the book are things that have happened to...
