Tell me.. I just got off 3 weeks worth of Iv's. Doctor told me that i had 6 bugs growing one was M.R.S.A. My question is.. it common in all cf people to have that many bugs growing? My other question is it common to use pain meds to controll the joint pain like vicodin?

Sometimes I usually have about 3 growing, sometimes 4 - it depends on if I have an active chest infection at the time of culture. At the moment I have 2 strains of Pseudo growing, along with aspergillus.

I have asperigillus but nothing else growing at the moment, but only 45% pft. Most I've had growing together is three - staph, pseudo and cepacia. I've never been told of more than one strain of pseudo, hope they are checking for that.

Amy, you were just diagnosed 6 months ago or at 6 months old?

I guess you have very mild cf with those pft's?
