BUT ANYWAY MY PRIMARY DR.. NOT MY CF DR, GAVE MY VICOPROFEN. A PIAN KILLER WITH ADVIL.. I DONT TAKE IT ALL THE TME CAUSE 1 IT CAN GET ADDITING AND 2 CAUSE IM NOT SURE HOW GOOD IT IS FOR CF. BUT MY POINT IS ONCE IN AWHILE EVEN WITH THOSE CF PAINS WAKING UP FEELING LIKE YOUR CHEST IS TIGHT AND SWOOLEEN. OR COUGHING SO HARD IT HURTS WELL TAKING 1 OF THESE PILLS ONCE IN AWAILE WHEN YOU CANT TAKE IT HELPED...

I have had Vicoprofen before as well. About 4 months ago I tore a couple of ligaments in my left ankle playing basketball and that is what the er doctor scripted me for pain. I agree they can be addictive but heck for temporary relief and comfort its worht it. My opinion is that cf patients are not given any painkillers or anxiety medicaiton ( unless pursued ) or suggested by the patient is bunch of crap. Im 21 and dealing with cf along with going to school and working can be a pretty large load physically and mentally. I do not want to have to depend on taking painkillers or other meds daily but it would be nice to have something to kick bakc on on these especially uncomfortable days a kickstand if you will. If anyones Dr. has had more interaciton with them on this topic please let me know.....mine has done nearly nothing on the subject.
