Thanks for replying. I get the salty screen too, and good point about ventilation. My laptop's issue has confounded tech guys as well, and my husband stays conspicuously silent. Since getting one set of new brains for my laptop, I don't think I'm eligible for the service plan--either way all...

My laptop bears the brunt of my nebulizing entertainment, and it holds up okay with me blowing salty air into it EXCEPT 1) when I leave it in front of an open window on a humid day or 2) when I bring it to my IL's beachhouse where the ambient humidity is super high. My husband says that in high...

Cindy, the same thing happened to me! I tried to wear a belt at my waist over a cardigan like is fashionable now. I felt SOB and had pain after a while too. In the past, I've had what I think we're small atelectases in my lower lobes at night (I'd wake up with sharp pain and inability to take...

Sounds like what your doctor measured is your VO2 max--I think that's what Jenn is thinking of too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VO2_max My interpretation of your results would be that your cardio-vascular system is compensating well for your pulmonary limitations. I'm not sure I would...

I had this!! For a few months Jan-some of march. It was loud, wet and like you said, worse when lying down. Expiratory more than inspiratory. Ive always had crackles when I exhale, but usually not high up like that and so juicy. Reading to my son at night was a joke, and I was doing PT on...

Katie, this site has members from around the world, but yes, you'll see a lot of US terminology. Pulmonologist is respiratory consultant in the uk, I think. ER is A &E. I agree with liza (ratatosk) that pursuit of cf diagnosis with full genetic sequencing is less common in the uk. I get this...

H. Influenza is considered an early CF bug, and like your doc said, it is also present in sick non-CF kids and people with COPD. Strep is not a common CF bug, according to this article, and seems to be more likely caused by immuno deficiency or the ubiquitous cause of pre-existing damage...

If you google: "Emerging and unusual bacteria [name of bacteria]" you can view the medscape article I linked to. Otherwise it requires a login. I just realized the links on the right bar of the article are blocked. These are your choices of words to put in the brackets: Abstract and...

I think Becki's idea of checking your PA's susceptibility is a good idea. On a side note, one study I read noted that stenotrophomonas might confer resistance to PA, and that makes me wonder about all the nuances of these bacterial interactions. Maybe MRSA is bolstering your PA. Seeing an...
