I live in Tucson and the CF center here has greatly improved since I was little, though I primarily see a wonderful pediatric pulmonologist (until I'm 22 :'[ ). I know right now there's not many options are far as specialty adult pulmonary care in Tucson aside from the CF center (Phoenix usually...

Since I was a noob and started another thread on this subject, I'll just post the FDA link my sister gave me over here as well in case anyone sticking to this thread would like it: http://www.fda.gov/NewsEvents/Newsroom/PressAnnouncements/ucm289633.htm

Definitely with every condition comes some benefits. For instance, if not for CF I, and most of my family, wouldn't be nearly as involved in the medical world as we are today. My dad went back to school to be a Respiratory Therapist after I was born, and I've gleaned lots of info from my...

Thanks for the replies everyone <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> Surprisingly my mother, who's a PT, couldn't fix it, but my dad, who's an RT, was able to! He had me lay down while he pushed on my back while I exhaled and it totally worked! No more pain! Woohoo...

My lovely pharmacist sister, who's always researching and keeping us up to date on CF med stuff, just sent me this email about the new drug Kalydeco, which targets the G551D CF mutation. It was just approved by the FDA a few hours ago I believe, and this could lead to the approval/release of a...

Once again I'm getting this pain in my upper bck, I'd say along the medial border of my scapula. Every time I cough it's a horrible, stabbing pain, so I'm not able to cough right now, at all. This happened once before a few weeks ago, and it's sudden onset. It feels like a pleurisy, only on my...

I think nearly everyone can relate to what you're describing, CF or not. I think it's just one of those teenage years things, in that it's almost like a right-of-passage, plus Senior year can be hella stressful. My suggestions? -Guys/relationships in high school are lame/a waste of time in all...
