    Am I overreacting?

    Yup, kids will insist on being true to their nature...which is being kids. My favorite one with my eldest daughter was when she was about 18 months she snatched a flying moth (on the wing! can you say "reflexes?!?!?!) out of the air, jammed it in her mouth and swallowed before I could even...

    Sick Relative Coming to Visit

    You could also have him wear a mask if you think he still might be contageous.

    What kind of school do/did you go to?

    I went to public school, missed A LOT of school due to being ill. I also ate horribly as a child because my parents were totally fixated on getting LOTS of calories in me and not looking at the quality of the calories as much. (translation, they let me eat a lot of sugary and fatty junk food...

    Inhaling NAC aka MUCOMYST

    I love mucomyst for an exacerbation. I do find that if I am on it long-term it greatly increases my bronchospasms and I get some hoarseness. I usually use it in addition to the hypertonic 2X a day if my lungs are getting junky. It really seems to help a lot.

    azithromycin

    Yeah, I'm with Incomudrox and Havoc on this one. I tried zith for about a year and it seemed to provide very little help (translation- no difference) and gave me increased GI issues and other stuff. Wasnt worth it. I've found that simple ibuprofin 3X a day seems to help me more and doesnt...

    Pregnancy and Lung Functions

    I think the information people need is; if you've had a good first pregnancy, statistically, does that mean a second one will be more likely to go well too, or is each one truly a roll of dice. I dont know. I did a quick search on the into and couldnt find anything ? Anyone else have...

    Bleed lungs with exercising?

    I think this is one for your doc to answer. Is there any kind of pattern, certain exercise that makes it worse?

    newborn with CF

    Your son may have a variant of CF that is NOT pancreatic insufficient. So he wouldnt need enzymes. If he is doing well without enzymes, gaining weight normally, I would personally forgo them until a genetype test comes back. However, I am not an MD. There are many types of CF where...

    Am I overreacting?

    hmw and kitomd21, I hear what your saying about that protective urge. Our two are competitive gymnasts...I watch the older do flips on a beam where one bad move means something is going to break and it aint gonna be the beam. Its scary as all *****, and frankly makes me a little bit nauseous...
