Unless you are on IV's already 3-4 times a year, I don't see a problem with trying them again, especially if you a drop of 4 or 5 percent in pft's.
Remember, in Europe its common to get IV's every 3 months regardless of your health status (if you have cf of course).
GOSH! I wish I had been as smart as you 10 years ago. If I had been as aggressive I probably wouldn't be as bad off as I am today.
I agree with Amy, perhaps your lungs are declining, but don't give up without a fight, especially if its been several months without IV's.</end quote></div>thats not entirely true i dont really have any ivs but i use other stuff instead ie flucoxlicin etc it depends on the centre iam at the brompton a specialist cf clinic in london england
