RSV HELP

[Kelli]

Wow, I just want to let you know, I feel for you!!! My nephew has RSV right now (He's 2 1/2). He doesn't have CF but his sister does (and I do), so I have not been over there in over a week. No way I was getting near him (I'm currently on IV's & steroids).

Good luck to you. I think I'd go for a check up. You need to get on this since you aren't feeling better. Maybe you should have them look at you, get IV's, etc. Whatever will make you feel better. A couple weeks of being sick can do some damage!

Feel Better!

Hey I am already on IVS.. I have been on them since Mid December and I am already On steroids.. I was on them when I got sick which is part of why I got sick to begin with..

RSV is a virus so I don't think the antibiotics are even touching it.. I go back to the doctor on Monday.. I am getting a little more hopeful, maybe I just need more time to get better.

I know in a regular adult, RSV just manifests itself as a common cold.. but since I am immune suprresed from being on 120 mgs of prednisone.. I don't have the ability to fight this off to well.. so I am afraid it is taking so long... and it is starting to wear on me... I kind of feel lonely and isolated and I want so badly to get on with my life....( A feeling we all know so well)

Thanks for the input and if anyone finds some magic pixi dust let me know..

Hi Jennifer: I did catch RSV about 5 yrs ago from a physical therapist in the hospital who had come in contact with a baby being treated for it in the hospital. From then on I insisted that everyone that came in my room where a robe and gloves . I had already been on antibiotics in the joint for 2 weeks so I was not as run down. It is very important to take it easy don't try and keep up with all your normal activities. Get help from relatives and friends. Rest rest rest.. It took another 2 weeks for me to get well after that. Sucked. Give yourself time , It didn't hurt, no pain involved really. We can take it right. when my ribs hurt I try to brace them with a pillow. I actually have a brace that I had to have made for ruptured stomach muscles from coughing long time ago. So anything you can find to brace the cough with help a little. My husband will sometimes sit behind me on the bed and pull the pillow from the front bracing my cough for me. But if you don't have someone to help. Just place the pillow under your ribs and press it against yourself when you cough. Be patient Jen the virus will take some time to work it's way out. You'll hopefully be feeling yourself again soon.

Feeling for you and praying for you.
