My kids only use the regular mucinex. I believe it works on sinuses too. They only take a decongestant when they have sinus infections.

Fondreflections,

You've been IV drugs for 12 weeks, 6 hours a day? Mucinex may help a little, but I suspect there is a lot more you could be doing to help yourself. There isn't enough information to tell what exactly is your history. Do you have Pseudomonas? Sinus issues? What is your pattern of getting sick. Present and past symtoms? What meds are you usually on in addition to antibiotics. Anything change in your life recently if your symptoms are suddenly worse?

To get your life back, usually requires a lot of change. If you'd like more help, please post.

you are right jane. the musinex d made me drain all night and kept me awake but ill get the regular musinex today. I could tell the musinex did help loosen the cough. My sister was 25 she wanted a baby more than anything she had been married for 5 yrs . her pcp advised against it but she thought she would be ok mostly because i did so well with mine, but her cf was more severe than mine . she contracted b cepacia when she was pregnant. and she gradually got worse . the baby is a healthy 8 month old boy. my parents are devastated. so if any of you ladys with cf want to have a baby think hard before you make that decision. the doc said it took the 10 years she may had left to have the baby. i have cf but, both your boys have it. i know you have your hands full well good luck . i couldnt imagine my girls having it. It would be terrifying. regina /44 w/cf/b cepacia
