    pre-mix Hypertonic saline solution

    There is no NDC# yet. That is why insurance companies won't pay for the pre-mixed yet. I get mine from Foundation Care. It cost $150 for 2 months supply. I just called them and they are not sure when there will be a NDC #.

    Dr. Apt. Monday

    Don't go to the bathroom before you get weighed. It is always good for a pound or two. And eat a big meal before you go in. It is definitely cheating but it makes us feel better. Especially, if you always get lectured.

    Out of H. Saline

    I go through Foundation Care in Missouri. Phone number is 877-291-1122. It is already mixed at 7%. It is costly, $90 for one month supply or $150 for two month supply. I just looked at CF Pharamacy...I guess foundation care is less expensive. I would try them. I got my medicine in 24 hours...

    Should I?

    I would bring her to the ER if she is still feeling bad.  It may be nothing but I think it is better to know than to worry.

    Should I?

    If she is feeling really bad take her to the hospital. Is it her CF doctor that is not in or her primary care doctor? There will always be another prep rally. She will thank you when she is feeling better. I hate when I can't get results to tests that I am waiting for. It drive me nuts.
