    Is where we live better or worse for our CF up keep?

    There was a thread about this some time ago. It seems like it varies by person. some people thrive in FL, while others do better in dry climates. My dd does well near the ocean but as long it as it is dry.

    <div class="FTQUOTE"><begin quote><i>Originally posted by: <b>Eden</b></i> Thanks everyone. DS' allergy test came back negative. So now they are trying to figure out if it is "serum sickness" by putting him back on Augmentin for 10 days. This makes me so nervous, but I guess it is better to...

    Allergic reaction to Augmentin?

    My dd seems to be allergic to every antibiotic she takes more than once or twice. She had a very similar reaction to Augmentin, swelling etc, so it is a no no for us as well.

    Starting enzymes...What to look for?

    I agree with missa about retest. It seems strange though that his elastase was 381 and his stools are always loose. I know that in babies it is not unusual for the pancreatic status to flip. Sometimes they go from PI (low elastase) to PS (normal elastase) after taking enzymes b/c it sort of...

    Looking for questions to ask and for friends

    If I could give you one piece of advice then it would be to be very watchful and keep on top of everything. Doctors knows medecine better than us, CF parents, but even the best doctors can make mistakes b/c they are busy, tired, had a bad day etc. I am saying this from personal experience: only...
