    Cipro IV & nausea/general tummy problems

    Yes. Cipro makes my reflux much worse, and I get severe "quick step". (not as bad as bactrim for me though!). I also experience muscle and joint pain, stiffness/soreness in my ankles/feet. What helps me is eating small frequent meals, yogurt with live cultures several times a day. I also...

    Coughing judgment at the gym (or any public space)

    I hate coughing in public. I go to extremes to avoid it w/preventive meds, behaviors, etc. However, of course that doesnt always work. If another person near me were coughing as hard as I sometimes do in public, I would avoid them too! (Whats good for the goose, is good for the gander)...

    Alternatives for treating Pseudo in my littlest one!

    The best thing I have found is getting to a good BMI and lots of exercise. I kicked the PA at age 10 after getting 2 months of hyperalimentation (body weight went from 42 lbs to over 60) and several times every day, plus CPT and nebbulizers. That is when I did some HTS too for the first time...

    Manual CPT vs Vest?

    I have done both vest and manual CPT. My parents used to whale the living tar outta me twice a day when I was healthy and 4-5 times a day when sick. It was highly effective, but you have to actually DO it, have someone who is skilled and very strong, and rely on their schedule. For many...

    How good is 104% in the blowing test?

    104% is great, depends somewhat on your genotype/phenotype on how rare it is. 2% loss each year is a rather loose number. A lot of folks follow the "basement stairs" trend. Do OK and only drop 1% for a year, drop 5% the next year, stay steady for a year, drop another 4%. You get the...

    Any suggestions besides applesauce?

    My parents used pudding. By the time I was two, I could swallow a handful of pills like a pro.

    Second Child??

    Anomie, I've seen the horrible degeneration happen to several of my friends. Never in a million years would I wish that on anyone, and especially not my child. Ignorance is bliss until it smacks you upside the face. Swallowtail. I'm sorry about your situation. So much heartache to watch...

    Inhaler vs. Nebulizer

    A personal answer from an adult- Yes, handhelds are quick and easy and portable. But the nebbies seem more effective, get down deeper, and last longer.
