So, I dropped my bicycle off at fix-it shop at the beginning of the week because the odometer was broken. At the time they said it looked like the wiring needed to be replaced. After further investigation, they say that "the wiring and several screws have been completely destroyed by what...

So, upon reading the cipro threads, it seems some people have PA that became resistant to oral Cipro over time. I'm curious as to how frequently people were taking it before they became resistant, and if they were taking it in conjunction with any other antibiotics. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I have been doing some research and seem to have discovered that those with pancreatic insufficiency are at relatively high risk of pancreatic cancer later in life (35+, which I am approaching). Some numbers are below. I also included the link to the article I read. I'm making the...

Does anyone get night sweats from Tobi? I started it last night and I had to change clothes about 5 times during the night. I have had night sweats before but had never connected it to Tobi. Thanks.

I just started advair about a month ago. I'm a little nervous about it because it seems like it would make me more vulnerable to infection. Has anyone been on it for a long period of time? Thanks.

Has anyone had, or considered having, orthognathic surgery? (e.g. to correct an underbite, overbite, etc...) Everytime I see the dentist I revisit this possibility. I wouldn't consider my situation painful, but would say it's uncomfortable on a routine basis. I'm wondering if any CFer's (or...

Hello - What do people do about traveling with nebulizers and other prescription drugs? I'm worried they won't let me on the place with the nebs, but that the nebs will freeze and burst if I pack them in my check in bag. What do you all do? Thanks.
