    Ibuprofen as part of preventative treatment?

    I have heard of this too, but I don't know if it really works or not. I have also heard that it is bad for the stomach. When I was having bad acid reflux (and had one bout of blood in my stools), my doc told me to try and take acetamenophin instead of ibuprofen since it can have effects on...

    double lung translpant

    I have always had the same impression as you; that your lungs will eventually fill back up with mucus. I don't really know that much about the transplant process. Does anybody know why people who have had a lung transplant (due to CF), sometimes need another transplant years later? I don't...

    CF and Job interviews

    I hear what you are saying. Even though it is illegal, some employers might find other things to use against you in the hiring process. Sad but true. However, with that being said, I personally have always mentioned my CF in my interviews (with the exception of a few jobs). I find it to be...

    Hand Lotion

    My hands and face get very dry in the winter. I didn't start using lotion for my hands up until a few years ago because I don't like my hands to have that "greasy" feel to it. So I am very picky. I have been using the Vaseline Intensive Care Healthy Hand Essentials. That seems to work pretty...

    CF Interactions

    I had never even heard of CFers needing to stay away from other CFers until my sister's last hospital stay when the RT told her about a friend of her's that had CF. They got talking about the topic. Both my sister and I have CF and we are always around each other. We probably see each other...

    hostpital visits

    I recall 3 hospital stays in my life. Two were for lung problems (pneumonia) and the other stay was for some "stomach bug". I am 35 and I haven't been in the hospital for probably 20 years. My last stay was when I was in high school. There have been a few times when I had an infection/mild...

    How Were You / Your Loved One Diagnosed?

    I was diagnosed at the age of 3-4. I was actually going to the bathroom and in the process, I got a prolapsed rectum. Needless to say, being a child, I was terrified. I started screaming for my mom. I think she phoned the doctor or hospital and was told how to "fix" it. That incident made...

    CFRD

    Sue, I certainly feel for you as I also am terrified of needles. I think that your level of 182 is high, but how long before your blood was drawn had you eaten? If you had just eaten an hour or so before your blood was drawn, it would be a little higher but I'm not sure if 182 is too high...
