What was the most beneficial change you've made health wise? Something that you started doing at some point in your life that REALLY helped you, not only limited to CF. Medications and such yes, but mainly lifestyle or eating habit changes, that sort of thing.
As for medications: I think that starting the Hypertonic Saline helped loads, especially once I started doing the Flutter valve WITH the vest.
As for health and lifestyle: When I stopped drinking soft drinks. When I started getting to bed earlier. When I'm exercising.
When I stopped drinking Sodas it seemed to take awhile to get it all out of my system, but I started drinking a lot more water, and I just started feeling MUCH better. Lighter, I guess would be a good way to put it. Like jogging or working out or anything when you don't drink soft drinks feels completely different than when you do, everything seems harder when you have had a soda. For some reason I was craving a drink today, so I had a soft drink (first one in a long time) and I drank about half of it, then just felt.... blah... that's what made me think about this.
I used to dance about three days a week, started when I was about 7 and I quit last September. I suddenly realized how quickly pudge grows up on the body, and I felt slower and tired all the time. I finally started jogging daily and I've felt really good. I've been sleeping better, getting out of bed faster in the morning, doing tharapy faster. It's great. So I've realized how important exorcise is.
