Well, after being depressed all night and most of today i have decided that the time for sadness and greiving over my bad #'s is <b>OVER</b>. I have picked myself up, dusted off and i am going to kick some cf a$$. I started out today by having breakfast ( 2 waffles drenched in butter and a glass of milk). I never eat breakfast but i am going to every day till i get my weight back. I also got on the treadmill for 25 minutes tonight and am making a pact to get on it everynight ( unless theres a damn good reason not to). I am also going to get onto the Aztreonam study next week. My nurse talked to me about it yesterday at my appt. and i was so upset i didnt really take in all she was saying, but i do remember hearing people have had good results with it and my Dr. said it just may benefit me a lot. I also requested Singulair. My Dr. said it may or may not help ,but it wont hurt. I will be starting that tonight. Any other suggestions you may have would be greatly appreciated. I want these #'s and weight up <b>PRONTO</b>.

So glad you've got a positive attitude today!
When I'm really down, I always remind myself that it could always be much, much worse. Several years ago, I remember seeing the most shocking thing once while at the mall....a person with no legs and only 1/2 of an arm being wheeled around on a gurney (have no clue to this day why!). Even on my worst day, I'm reminded of that and always remember "there but for the grace of God go I".

I'm in the same boat as you babe-
had a little dissapointment this week with numbers too...was depressed for a day and I am kicking cf hiney myself too!!!
I am powerwalking/jogging the treadmill every day. I'm getting mom and hubby to do 2 manual chest pts a day-plus 1 vest pt in between. And sitting in a hot steamy bath or sauna shower every day too-to help relax my muscles and open airways.
Can u have someone help you with manual chest pt? The vest is great, but when you are really in a crisis or struggling to get pfts up, manual is best. You can really focus on those lower airways or areas you need extra help. My docs said even 3 sessions per week would help. If you can have 1 per day-from anyone-that would be awesome!!!
Are you doing hypertonic saline? That really got my pfts up. I'm doing in 3x a day now.
Drink lots of water to keep those airways loose.

Diane,
You got your fight back! Way to go, stay focused and keep your head in the game. Don't get distracted by those periodic nusiance reports that tend to piss us all off and don't throw in the towel at half time. You are here for a reason<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
