Allisa35 = Allisa (I guess that's pretty obvious-lol) I am 35 w/cf, diagnosed at 3 years of age I have 1 brother and 1 sister. My sister also has cf. I've been married for 10 years (just celebrated out 10th year on the 21st). We have no kids, but like several others on here, we have animals...

Sorry to hear you're having such a hard time. If you don't mind me asking, what do you do in the service? I am very thankful for our military personnel, but I'm sure the higher ups don't make it easy on the lower ranks. Don't know, but just my personal feeling. I don't really have any advise...

I have a policy through Physicians Mutual. I have had it since 1994. I have been fortunate enough that I haven't had to use it. I haven't really read my policy lately, but I think they pay $75.00 per day (in patient stays) and will pay a higher amount if I am in intensive care. The intensive...

I don't really know about secondary insurance, but I just thought I would add that I have a hospital policy through Physicians Mutual. I have had it for years, and to be honest, I don't even recall how much it will pay me per day for hospital stays. I want to say $75.00 per day and I think it...

I don't really know for sure if that is considered a lot or not since each patient is different. 16 sure seems like a lot to me, but I only take 2-4 depending on how greasy/fatty the food is. I was on Pancreas pills for a long time, but I started having more stomach problems and my dr...

You may want to do a search for disability (on here). There has been a lot of info posted. Julie is good with that information. I just recently applied myself. I am hoping to hear soon, but I'm not holding my breath. I've been told they will deny you on your first application. I may not...

Sorry you're not feeling well. I usually always check with my dr. before I take anything. I think I have taken the Sudafed before. The last time I had the flu, he prescribed Tamiflu for me. Sorry I don't have much more info. Hope you find something that works for you!

Well, the clinic I go to uses 2 doctors, but they usually just use one doctor. Both are in the same pulmonology practice. I was seeing one dr. for while, but the last couple of years it has been the other doctor. I don't know if their schedules got too busy and he wasn't able to do it anymore...

As much as I hate HMO's, our insurance as been a blessing. We pay $15.00 per dr. visit for PCP and $40.00 for specialist physician. All labs, x-ray's, etc. are paid at 100%. Our meds are $10, $25 & $40. Thankfully, I haven't been in the hospital, but I believe they pay 100% after payment of...

Well, I currently work part-time in an office. I don't have kids (but I do have a husband and 7 animals if that counts - lol). I used to work full time up until 2003. As much as a I hated to, I just had to quit. I was missing more and more work and didn't want to jeapordize my health any...

What wonderful news. I am happy you found your ring!!

Hope you all are doing well. It's nice to finally see them. They are so tiny!!

Hi Julie. Glad to hear things are going good. Hopefully, Ryland will come off the oxygen soon too. I'm sure all you want to do is rest (lol). I can't imagine having to take care of 1 child, let alone 3. But you've been looking forward to this for awhile now, and I'm sure you are are very...

I have never had colistin, but my insurance has paid for all my meds so far (pulmozyme, tobi, ultrase MT12, albuterol, etc.). Hopefully, by your doctor contacting them, they will change their minds. Sometimes, unfortunatley, you have to fight with them a little bit. Good luck, I hope you can...

Hope you have a great birthday!!

Well, I'm not an expert on it. I have only used it a couple of times and that was a few years ago. For me personally, it didn't work. I think it is somewhat similar to the flutter which also did nothing for me. I use a hand-held percussor, and occassionally use the vest. I was just told at...

I think I would most definitely be concerned if it was that hot. I would think that the pharmacy would rectify that problem. I am not too fond of mail order pharmacies, but I have to use one for my pulmozyme in order for my insurance company to pay for it. Luckily, they do package it very...

Welcome to the site. I've got you beat by a year; I'm 35. Be 36 in January.
