    Tummy Issues on Antibiotics

    That sounds like a pretty common thing for Augmentin, my docs stopped prescribing it for me when I was little because it gave me so much trouble. Now when I'm on abx for more than a week I start having stomach issues. I don't know if you take a probiotic or not but this past round of ivs I...

    Wow that does sound like an odd place for it and I can see how the kinking would be a concern, I'm not sure if it makes it more prone to breaking but it can definitely mess with your infusions. That would make me consider having a new one placed and maybe that has something to do with why you...

    sedation for a PICC line

    Children's didn't even have PICC nurses until I was about 14 or 15 and I was one of their first patients, I let them try twice and that was it never went back. Akron General's PICC team does them all day long and they're wonderful. I guess things have just changed so much since I was Alyssa's...

    sedation for a PICC line

    I hate hearing how all your kids have to go through this everytime they have ivs. It just blows my mind because when I was young I just had a normal iv, even when I did meds at home, I never had my first PICC until I was about 12. I know the meds we use are hard on the veins and normal lines...

    I have a girlfriend with CF and don't know how to ask about how long she has in this life..

    I have a girlfriend with CF and don't know how to ask about how long she has in this life.. There's no set age, CF is very different for everyone and it all depends on how well she's doing and how well she takes care of herself. There are people who die as children and then I know I've seen...

    Workout vs. What you eat.

    Well you definitely need to maintain your carb intake or increase it because that's where you get most of your energy from. If you're looking to have added weight as lean muscle instead of the extra fluff (as I like to call it) that we gain as CFers you need extra protein because that's what...

    Strange pain in lung

    Its possible you may have just strained a muscle from coughing. Is there any over the counter pain reliever you can take that has worked? (I'm not sure what you can have seeing as you're pregnant) I recently had problems with lots of lung/rib pain but it turned out I had a bad exacerbation. Hope...
