How eery to have your heart beat so slowly. I'm sorry it makes you fatigued and dizzy.

Wow, 40 is low. Do you feel like your heart is racing outta control when it gets into the 100s?

Well, i figured I was fit, hence hr of 60s at rest, maybe lower when I'm really relaxed e.g. half asleep. I'm also the most winded person in zumba but again i like to think that's cause I'm shakin it so hard ;).

Has anyone seen a cardiologist for postural hypotension? Was it related to your lungs? My gp referred me to a cardiologist after I did poorly on some bp tests in his office and bloodwork showed I'm adequately hydrated/nutriented. I've a hx of passing out and the past six months, lots of...

I just figured anyone who was a really big consumer of this ingredient would be interested to read the article.

(brominated vegetable oil, not allowed in Europe or Japan) The article mentions a petition. I thought this might be worth posting since Gatorade and other electrolyte drinks are probably used by the CF community more than the general population...

Protein bars too...I don't love them but I eat 'em.

I dont know much about sugars so, I'm definitely an ANYone with possible bad suggestions :), but id jump right into more lunch foods like your bean burrito: turkey n cheese on wheat w/ lettuce and mayo, pb&j, tuna salad sandwich, pierogis, meatball sub, raisin nut bread with cream cheese, olive...

Love, I hear you.

Twist & Love, I studied the philosopher Miguel de Unamuno when I lived in Spain a long time ago, and in his book "The Tragic Sense of Life" he wrote about the numerous ways in which humans strive for immortality and to leave their mark on the world. His ideas stuck with me, though who knows...

I can't speak to the cause of the itch...meds or yeast are both good guesses. This tea tree shampoo is great for scalp itch. Buy small, and after initial daily use, you can taper off to 1-2x a week. My sympathies...for some reason after each pregnancy, I had insane scalp itch...

I'd heard of inhaled Cipro studies. Inhaled Levo is new to me. I'd love for any quinolone antibiotic to be avail for inhalation.

Bigstar, Being run down, tired, and stressed "helps" you catch a cold or have a flare-up of preexisting lung bacteria, but exercising in the cold shouldn't wipe you out the same way. The exertion and proper clothing should keep you warm. That said, exercise is a boost to the immune...

National Jewish has these instructions. I don't know how they'd be modified for CF vs. COPD. Definitely sterile water after the alcohol for CF...not sure about frequency. http://www.nationaljewish.org/healthinfo/medications/lung-diseases/treatments/acapella-dm-dh/

Bill, I will talk with my pulmonologist at the next appt. I went through a phase of really worrying i would get my family sick. I was most worried when my kids were under five; as most, they had colds a lot. Plus my eldest had pneumonia twice. I did a bunch of research and even once posted...

If at all possible, I stay away from or don't cough on people with lung disease, or people undergoing chemo or with weakened immune systems (AIDs, other immunodeficiencies). The bulk of the population is as safe from us as they are from their tap water, dirt, rotten onions and moldy leaves.

http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11750275&CAWELAID=929296249&pla=plab&cagpspn=pla I have that one (Avent Phillips 3-in-1), recommended by people here. It works very well. I keep it, a papertowel holder + roll, and a jug of distilled water all in my bathroom. My plan had...

mysticrose, lol at the "chicken wing" name for coughing into the elbow! I do get mucus on my arms (and steering wheel). imqueenof..., I either tell people I don't have a cold (if I don't) or I ignore them. Every once in a while someone's look is mean/mad enough that I feel I have to give them...

Bill, I appreciate that you think I am kind and considerate :-) I think you are up-to-date and contribute a lot. I'm especially impressed by your expertise in pancreas problems. Swatterson, There was a recent NYTimes article that mentioned some studies about "ventilatory threshold." I'll...

I hope the OP comes back to report her findings. Given how she has been treated, I would be surprised.
