    Weight Gain

    I have to agree, just because high fat and huge amounts of carbs will put on weight, it's extremely unhealthy. I've seen a complete 180 in the nutritionist team at my center. They recommend fats, but good fats such as nuts or avocado and if you eat carbs, make sure you balance it with...

    Seeking Advice/Input

    I think it's important to consider that this decision doesn't affect just you and your wife. You may be perfectly capable and happy to raise a child with CF, but those are your feelings and not those of your potential child. As you stated, your child may be angry at your throwing caution to...

    Just needed to rant....

    This is becoming a serious issue in the US. Presenteeism (going to work sick) costs US companies about $180 billion a year. A lot of companies are starting to open their eyes and either give employees paid sick time or send sick employees home. I hope more of them catch on. Then again, I...

    trouble with care routine

    I can understand, even I put up a fuss with pulmozyme. I've only done it twice and I refuse to do it on a regular basis. I don't find it effective and it tears my vocal cords to shreds. I completely lost my voice after 9 days on it in August. Speak with his doc. I kind of doubt he is...

    trouble with care routine

    When I was a kid, I never liked treatments, but did them anyway. I was an active kid, however and at one point my CF team told my parents that they didn't necessarily have to do chest PT (we didn't have the vest back then) regularly if I was remaining active (running, playing swimming, riding...

    Heading back to 60+ FEV1 from 26.

    Yup, I usually see Pilewski, but I've seen Myerburg, Weinburg, Spahr and back in the day Dr. O (loved him). I still see Dr. O every once in awhile and he still wears the bow tie and sandals. How do you like Philly? I really like the city, I was in a commercial there and I have family in Exton.

    Worried about a friend with CF.

    It does happen, yes. Lung tissue is delicate and full of veins and arteries. When you get an infection it can create a sore, kind of like a zit, only larger. When that breaks open it bleeds like a popped zit and then you cough it up. It's scary, I've had it only once myself and even with a...
