the less is better, but sometimes the person just needs it to feel better (all the time) i'd rather have to be on O2 and feel good, than feel like crap all the time my normal pulse ox is around 97-98 w/out O2, my brothers was at 78 when he went into the hospital (he wont be home till the...

get a port, it'll be the best thing you could do... i love mine and wish i never had to go through the crap of getting PICC lines! or that i wouldnt have been so stubborn in not getting one! take care

i agree with jenhum...you never know what can happen having CF is a depressing thing and everyone deals with it differently.. but having someone who cares and loves you and wants to be there for you through everything is a great gift! obviously she loves you very much, dont push her away...

I didnt start taking enzymes till I was 18 because I could gain weight fine and absorbed all the food I ate (or at least most of it)... I used to take ADEK, but didnt like the taste, so I switched to another vitamin supplement called Vitamax... so no, not everyone has to take these things, it...

I've never heard of it?? What does it do? or what is it suppossed to do?

Let me say that I was totally oppossed to getting a port NO MATTER WHAT! now, I have a port, lol...I decided to get one bc the PICC lines were getting really painful and harder to put in (like it would take them over and hour and my arms would be completely bruised) since I knew the time had...

Mine hurt for about 2 weeks after surgery...but the first few days were the worst (needed painkillers) I also remember needing to cough but not wanting to bc I felt like my shoulder was going to rip apart! hehe..yeah I can laugh about it now bc it was the best move I could have made, I hated...

What happens if you get SSD every month? After you get married do they stop that as well?

I would wait for him to bring it up... Unless you absolutely can't or a couple of months go by and he doesn't say anything..then I would say something to him...you don't sound like your going to bolt on him-and by that time he should know that... Good Luck!!

Hey--when I was 17 my FEV1 was btw. 90-95 (i had a real low point 49 when i was sick but it bounced right back up) now at 23 my FEV1 is around 70 to high 60's...and im pretty happy with that....but just remember that everyone with CF is different and what happens to one person may not happen the...

Hey--I'm pretty happy with the way I look (sure a few extra pounds would be nice for when I get sick...) and I love eating as much as I do bc I love food (hehe). Funny story--I went to a "pool party" once and this girl I met there said "wow, how many sit-ups do you do in a day?" I simply...

Hi People whose PFT's are under 50% don't need O2 and don't sit in wheelchairs and hack all day! You start to notice a difference in someone whose PFT's are lower than 20%...my brothers have unfortunatly dropped immensly over the past year or so (and no one can figure out why???) and I noticed...

Hey! I wouldn't suggest smoking anything!!! Why damage your lungs more? However, I've eaten my fair shair of pot and it does help me gain weight...so far I havent had any bad effects from it (but also don't do it all the time) I really want to try to gain a normal way, but it's hard. I might...

Hi Both my brother (20) and I (23) have CF. I have always had more lung problems and just recently (this year) started taking enzymes to help with digestion. My brother since he was little has had stomach problems, currently he's up to at least 9 enzymes with his meals, and he still is loosing...

Hi I use the flutter and right now its the best thing for me! I have tried the vest but just don't think its confortable...some of the respitory therapists in the hospital want me to "try" the vest again...but right now..the flutter works so why change it? I always do mine in the morning, then...
