    FALLING SKIES cf mention

    Yeah, I saw that too (have to admit I've watched all the episodes). Left me scratching my head a bit at the choice of child and disease. I am unfamiliar with the actual incidence of CF in the african-american population, but I have never met anyone in the hospital who had CF and was not...

    food that makes you caugh

    Same for me. Milk-based foods and fatty food hurt my tummy AND my lungs. (although yogurt seems to be tolerated OK) Its not a severe asthmatic reaction, just more coughing and congestion over a 12-24 hour period. No thanks. : ) I get enough practice coughing already! Melissa-...

    Question for the runners out there

    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...
