    summer heat

    If it is still cool at night where you live, you can pull fresh air (allergen-dependent) into your house with a window fan or, more expensive, an attic fan. Attic fans are powerful, huge fans that sucks a whole day's worth of hot air out of your house and brings in the night air. You open...

    Anyone use a maid?

    I pay only $90 every two weeks and am in a NYC suburb, but I do all the picking up and laundry before she comes--definitely a lot of work too. She does the dusting, mopping, vacuuming, bathrooms, sheet-changing. She cleans the finished attic and polishes the furniture less frequently. I...

    Breastfeeding troubles

    My first baby was colicky and seemed to have issues with diary proteins in my breastmilk. In retrospect, I am not sure if that was really the problem--but it is very hard to do bm food trial, and at the time I thought it was better to be safe than sorry. So, I stopped eating cow milk proteins...

    I Had My Baby!

    Congratulations! She is beautiful! My girl didn't get that much hair until she was pushing 3 yrs--so jealous :-) I am sorry your labor was hard and the pushing so long. I am sure the fever/infection made everything that much more exhausting. I hope you are feeling better and have lots of...

    Atypical cf?

    Pneumonia is weird. My 8-yr-old has had it twice, dx'ed via stethoscope--one with x-ray follow-up. He was ill, don't get me wrong, but not violently ill. Partly because he has never had wheezing or any asthma. Partly because the fluid hadn't filled the infected lobe. I think this is...

    Question for Collapsed Lung People

    I don't know what it feels like to have a major collapse and my HUGE sympathies go out to people who've had that. I get little ones--the kind that I suspect most of us show on CT scans. For some reason, my pulmo said something about distal airways and nerves, I am in major pain when these...

    ALLERGIES

    I get allergy shots, take singulair and symbicort. My 4 yr old, who this year is showing whose genes he got, is down to Singulair and Claritin. But when pollen season started, he was so bad we were also doing Patanase spray steriod into the nose and Zatador antihistamine eye drops. His eyes...

    Vibration in my lung everytime i breath

    For me it is more like a rattle in my lower left lobe, annoying and audible. One summer I felt like it was there most of the time but I had no major exacerbations. It was worse when I skipped exercise, so I don't know if I had the same thing. Manual CPT (pounding) worked the best for me in...
