Hello all. My mom has a form of CF called "Pseudomonias Aeruginosa". Instead of coughing up mucus, she coughs up a lot of blood with some mucus in it. We've tried several remedies such as Tobi and natural medicines but it's all temporary.

I was wanting to know if anyone can answer these questions for me:
1. Is there any cure/remedy for this condition? Like I mentioned before, we've tried Tobi, medicine inhalers, silver treatments, and natural remedies.
2. Can people with this condition apply and qualify for disability?
3. If so, how could we go about it?

Well if she indeed has CF, the Pseudomonias Aeruginosa is a germ that us CF are unable to completely get out of our lungs due to CF. First thing is I would talk to the Doctor and see if he/she thinks she should apply. If so and she/family don't make over 60k a year, I think is the limit. They will do it for free. She should go through the CF lawyers at the CF foundation.
