I was recently on tobramycin, vancomycin, and meropenum, all for 2 weeks. I was finished with them Wed night, and that night I had lower back pain, and being kidney stone-prone, I can recognize when I have one. I definitely have one. But that's not all, on both of my thumbs the skin is peeling...

I'll give you the cliff notes version. I had a lot of trouble with my mobility, and after seeing an ortho and getting an MRI, he said I have a cartilage loss in my hips. But then I seen yet another ortho that said my hips look ok, and not to allow anybody to operate on them. Upon a physical...

It seems for years I had this gas problem, but it was ultimately helped by upping my digestive enzyme dosage. But I'm a bit concerned about taking too much enzyme. The other day I devoured a medium pizza and had to take 16 Creon so I wouldn't be over-run with gas. It seems it has a shelf life...

Cipro is pretty strong, and I feel that I need sumtin' strong now as I feel pretty bad. But it seems that the only antibiotic I can tolerate is bactrim. I'm on day 3 of Cipro and I have a burning feeling in my hand, and a deep rash. Usually when I am on Cipro, right when I take the first pill, I...

I usually do Hypertonic Saline nebs, the name brand. But this time the CF pharmacy sent me sodium chloride. So I figured, what the hell. I have been doing it for a few days. As I am writing this, I had to leave work after only a few hours, because every few feet I walked, I was short of breath...

I was told by my dietitian at my CF center to take 2 multivitamins per day. But each one contains 16,000 IU. If I took 2 per day that would be 32,000IU! The upper limit for vit A is 10,000 IU. Now I know I have severe fat malabsorption issues, but 32,000 IU sounds like maybe too much, and vit A...

I've been drinking alot lately, but only about 1-2 beers a night. Being is I have a kidney stone, I'm doing all that I can to excrete it. But the day after I have a huge amount of gas. It's really uncomfortable. I've looked online and beer has no fat in, so what gives?

My computer used to be terribly slow, but a friend of mine at my job is going to school to be a computer programmer and told me about a few totally free programs to clean and speed up your pc: Defaggler: It takes quite a while, especially if you have alot of junk on your pc, but it's alot...

I have some free time today so I thought I'd check in. Anyway, I've been on an ant-acid for hyper-acidity ever since I could swallow pills. I probably switched to Zantac over a decade ago. I took 2 a day. A few years ago, I began shedding some of my hair; every time I ran my hands through my...

I spent the entire morning drafting my thoughts on what George Bush and his fellow cronies have done to us and why we need to hold him accountable. Now is the time. Now is the time to try Bush and his cronies for crimes against humanity. In an interview, George Bush ADMITTED that he approved...

I know this is pretty much a fundamental question, but how many enzymes are too much? My nutrionist told me that too many can bring on blockages, and that I already take a gargantuan amount of enzymes per meal. If not for the reflexology shoe insoles I usually wear, I would not have normal bowel...

What did everyone think of the first one? I hear the next one will be a town hall type format with the audience able to ask questions to the candidates-no question will be off limits. But to last week's debate. At first, there was clearly no winner, as there were no "stand-out" moments. I liked...

About an hour ago a detective and a police officer came to my house and asked me where I was on October 13th of last year. I replied that I don't even recall where I was last week, how am I supposed to remember where I was last year? He said that my fingerprints where discovered on a stolen...

Does anyone have any knowledge about how I go about receiving an e-flow? I visited the website, and read testimonials, and it sounds really promising. My current air compressor for nebs is quite primitive; I think it is like 10 years old? I really like how there is shorter neb times and the fact...

Sorry for the crappy pic, but I only have a camera phone.<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif" border="0"> <img src="http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm299/kal-el89456/GetAttachment-1.jpg"> That's right, 100% forced vital capacity! My best performance by far, even better than the...

I'm pretty certain I have arthritus. I understand its pretty common in CF, so I guess I pulled the short straw and got yet another ailment. My joints often ache, and about every other month or so my wrist hurts where I must wear a carpall tunnel sleeve, as I can't lift with it. So my question is...

I was originally prescribed Ambien a few months ago, as I am an appallingly light sleeper, and constantly awaken when my neighbors, who live in close proximity to me, go about their ways to work in the early morning. That's when my life/health took a turn for the worse. I think it's accurate in...

I'm posting this as I'm somewhat confused and a little worried. Every time I get a shower in the morning I rip up from the drain a handful of hair. I am only 28 years old, and I'm shedding like a Shetland Sheepdog. I'm afraid to go out and get a haircut, as I figure it's like rolling the dice, I...

When I was in my teens, I depserately wanted to grow taller, as I was always shorter then folks my age. I tried everything, from pills to exersizes. I stumbled upon these-<a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.growtaller.net/.">http://www.growtaller.net/.</a> They're...

I have a cable modem and every single website/forum I visit <b>except</b> this one is fast. My five o'clock shadow almost grows back by the time a page loads on this site! Anyone else notice this?
