Darn, I was all excited about a Tobi inhailer. I wish there was one. Maybe they will come up with one.
Stay healthy!

This is an excellent thread! Especially for me, as Kaylee isn't on a lot of things yet, but it is good to see what is working for those of you.

Ultrase 2-3 with meals, 1 with snack.
Adecks--1 pill 2X/day
Albuteral inhaler--2 puffs 2x/DAY
A steriod that I can't remember--2 puffs 2x/DAY
Albuterol nebs before vest 2X/day, as needed

Thank you all for sharing.

I've noticed that the average dosage of Enzymes seems to be between 3-5. This is really confusing to me. I take 10 Creon20 with EACH MEAL. Before I switched to Creon I took 10-11 UltraceMT20's, and still sometimes 10 is not enough... do you think my CF affect my digestion stronger than most, or am I missing something?


I've always had VERY strong lungs, but I've had stomach problems for years, whereas my brother has always had a rock solid digestion, but has very weak lungs.

I know nothing about the different mutations of CF and such, I just assumed that it affect each person differently. Does anybody have any oppinions on these things?</end quote></div>

I am the exact same way. I see most people take a lot less then i do, but it has always been that way for me. I take around 10 ecs 20's with each meal. I don't know how to explain it, and the doctors think it's probably too much, but we do what works for us right? I can tell you one thing though, since starting gsh my digestion has gotten a lot better. Maybe it has something to do with other cofactors involved in our digestion that we are missing out of. Who knows..

OK,
My sister called the local CF Center and there IS a Tobi inhailer but it's not out yet. Only people who are in the study have it but they are working on one.
Cross your fingers that it will be available soon.

I was offered to be in the study for the Tobi inhaler last year. Unfortunetly I was so busy at the time that I couldn't make the appointments I would have to go to. Looking back, HUGE mistake by me. I was worried it had come out and I didn't know but hopefully soon if the study was started last year.
