I try to only go to the hospital if I absolutely have to. It seems like many doctors send us to the hospital for stuff that could heal on it's own.

I was late dxs at age of 33yrs of age but have had my fair share of being sick for years and Doctors said Asthma. Anyway, I was getting IV'S every five times a year after dxs.
But the last three years I get my IV'S twice a year and hospitalised. I am reguarly doing my lung therapies being complaint n exercise. I am at the moment in hospital on IVS but FEV1'S could be higher so hopefully Friday test result will be great.

ABPA-Asthma
Psuedomonas
Sinus problems

Waiting on my foster child and so happy.

My first hospitalization was when I was 12. The next one was when I was 26, but that was only for two days and because I wasn't being seen by a CF doctor at the time and my PCP didn't know what to do <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif" border="0"> From about age 20-24, I got bronchitis four times a year, but that stopped happening once I graduated college. Oral antibiotics always took care of it. So, I've been on a really good healthy streak for about 10 years. I think I got pneumonia a couple times, but it wasn't bad at all, I missed a few days of work and oral antibiotics took care of it.

And, fast forward to right now. I've had bronchitis for almost two weeks and been on three different oral antibiotics - my CF doctor said that, if I'm not better by tomorrow (after taking cipro over the weekend), I'm getting a PICC line placed and doing home IVs. So that will be my first 10-day course of IVs in 22 years. I do feel better today, so my fingers are crossed that I won't need them.

It's been about a year for me, but that was for complications with sinus surgery (indirectly CF I suppose). If you don't count that, I have only been hospitalized for CF once. I typically am on antibiotics (oral) 2-4 times a year.
