Just keep plugging along, dont get discouraged! Running is one of the best things you can do for CF. My FEV is about 55% now, when I started running last fall it was around 45%. Starting out was unbelievably brutal. I lost track the number of times that I threw up or came close to...

LTA I have had the same experience. I gain weight easily from carbs, and WAS overweight for a couple of years until I figured it all out. Now I go heavy on the super lean meats (turkey, chicken, fish) and a very large number of fresh and cooked fruits and vegetables. No dairy and no fat...

I second the salt tablets. I've always exercised heavily, and without them, my electrolytes would get completely unbalanced and i would pass out. I also have a fetish (my husbands words, not mine!) for pretzels, soy sauce, and salted tuna fish. Keep in mind, along with the salt, proper...

I dont think I've had a normal life at all, I think I have been unusually blessed to have an incredibly amazing life, even if it got snuffed out tomorrow in a car wreck (god forbid!). I've done everything from marine bio research off the coast of Belize, to competing in the national...

OK, I am NOT advocating the alcoholic type here, especially since it gives me gout! What I am talking about is drinking a super-chilled drink slowly through a straw when I feel the tightness of asthma coming on. Even something simple as ice water helps a lot. Amazingly, it seems to numb the...

Jena and Annie, I've had a lot of problems with back strain and intercostal muscle strain from coughing. I usually end up on hydrocodone and other stuff. I have learned to take the hydrocodone when the muscle pain hits a certain level, because beyond that, I know I will break 3-4 ribs with...

Our youngest had trouble with weight gain and vomiting. We kept her on the bottle w/formula made with a variety of milks. 2% cows milk and soy milk seemed to work well for her. She got the cals from the formula powder as well from the milk. We also snuck in olive oil or vegetable oil into...
