    When to stop working?

    Thank you guys so much for your responses! It really helped me a lot. All of my CF friends have passed, and so I don't have anyone in my life to bounce these kinds of questions off of, so I really appreciate it. My husband is in the medical field and will be graduating school in May, so we...

    When to stop working?

    Hi all, I am sure there has been a topic on this in the past, so I apologize if I am repeating anything. I tried to search for it but didn't see anything. I am just wondering at what point people here had to stop working full-time, and how you came to that conclusion? I am still fairly active...

    Just for fun but CF related - Real things doctors have said to me in the hospital

    I am loving this thread! Amazing how ignorant people really are. My best story is from a few months ago, when I was at the ENT to discuss getting sinus surgery (which I just got). The lady at the front desk said, "I see you've had cystic fibrosis in the past. Do you currently have it?" Later...

    Do you stay home to do home ivs or go to work with ivs?

    I used to go to work (and I went to school when I was a teen) but I can't anymore. I get so sick off the meds they use that I would be completely useless at work.

    PICC Line Scare

    When I was in the hospital in March, they refused to use heparin. I was told over and over again that the "new" PICCs don't need it. It made me so uncomfortable!

    How old were you when you were first hospitalized for lung function?

    I was 16 when I was first admitted - amazed I made it that long! Since then though, yearly visits are the norm...

    Where do you tell people to look for CF info?

    I agree with all of you that think the CFF website is way too cheerful. I've always found that was the first place people went to when they found out I had CF, and then they thought I was just fine. Either that, or they would google some dire article and call me crying about how I was about to...

    Bactrim

    I have the same horrible reactions to Bactrim. I just finished a 2-week oral antibiotic course and the only thing that kept me going through it this time was the Zofran that dissolves in your mouth. Phenagren used to work, but I would throw it up as soon as I took it. This new Zofran worked...
