We pretty much had our daughters go naked from the waist down for several days in a row, didnt leave the house, and put a portable potty pretty much in every major room of the house. They also were expected to clean up after themselves if they made a mess (that dealt nicely with the...

Re mucomyst......great stuff to use when you're sick, if you tolerate it. Stinks to high heaven though. Its a very very old med. I cant tolerate a lot of the new stuff, but mucomyst is terrific for breaking up lung chunks. It does tend to increase the overall amount of bronchospasms and...

Hmm, never heard of anyone getting special treatment in an ER before due to CF. My policy is that my health is my responsibility, and if I'm going to go anywhere where there is a high likelyhood of catching something icky, I wear a mask and wash my hands like crazy. Dont know how the ER's in...
