Ambry just came back on my husband, so we know both of his mutations now. Anyone have info on the 1154insTC? Mostly, we're just curious... between J and his brother, we know that the mutations aren't everything.

Anyone sucessfully petition (or know someone who did) insurance to cover PGD (and IVF) for CF? Looking at PGD prices is making me ill.

So I have the most evil moster cramps from hell (so I'm worried about endo - joy).. because of that I'm on Seasonale BC pills. Since we're dealing with CBAVD, there's no reason for us to have ever TTCed the normal way and I love my "only 4 periods a year" existance. When the heck do I go off...

Anyone have both of these mutations? I want to pester you for more information. UPDATE: Testing on my parents showed that the mutations are both on the same chromosome, and I am a carrier.

Anyone use Mucomyst (acetylcysteine)? I was just curious, since I haven't heard it mentioned much around the forums. -Michelle

Anybody using hypertonic saline? What percentage? Where do you get it? Does your insurance cover it? How much does it cost? I'm asking because we're having a heck of a time getting any. Insurance is being irritating about it (what a surprise). They won't cover the 10% solution at all, the...

Anyone else participating in a clinical study at the moment? I ask because my boyfriend just started in one that is looking at using Diabetes therapy to improve muscle mass (and of course, lung function) in CFers with abnormal blood glucose but without fasting hyperglycemia (high blood sugar in...
