    i always have that problem with a particular nurse whenever I am in the hospital (she should know better!) I complain to the supervisor every time she is assigned to me at night, and the nurse swears up and down she is not wearing anything with perfume in it, all she uses is dove soap...

    failed PICC attempts

    Everyone is different. I had maybe 8 piccs before I got my port... and about 25 attempts to get them in. The very last one I had placed took FIVE tries. Two in my left arm and three in my right. My veins are still really difficult to access, even for blood draws, and it's been almost 4...

    College life with CF

    for anyone on bi-pap

    thanks for the input everyone! Could be that I am just not used to using all my airways... I don't think I'm de-satting though, I usually run about 94 on room air without o2. I think it's just one more thing to get used to... thanks!
