Medicaid in Ohio will pay for 1 vest in a person's lifetime. So, I got a vest for free a long time ago, then got a free upgrade through the company itself (by sending back my old one). I bet you'll be able to get at least one, even if you can't get a newer version later on if they improve it. My...

Oh heavens do I know your pain. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0"> I don't have any real advice for you that I've found. I've used period pads before if I had a feeling it was going to be really bad. They work, but it can be a waste of pads (which is a waste of money)...

I have 3 of the vanilla powder mixes. I got them as samples at my clinic and I don't need or want them. I prefer the Boost Breeze and I don't need a lot of weight gain help anyway. I don't know if three packs are worth it to you for me to send, but I would be happy to do so if you're in...

I just recently (about 2 months ago) had sinus surgery to clear out scar tissue and infection from a previous surgery. I also had septoplasty done. My recovery was not bad at all, just uncomfortable for a few days. Now that everything has pretty much healed over, I realize it has made a WORLD of...

My hospital checks before and 2 hours after. I too am not sure what the point would be to take it before a meal if not for a check after. Anywho, I DO have cfrd and an insulin pump and when I go on prednisone I have to nearly triple my insulin levels because of HOW resistant I become. One thing...

Hey there! I'm wondering if any of you go to RB&C in cleveland for CF care. More specifically, does anyone here see Dr. Robert Stern? I'm having some problems that I hate to admit. I've always LOVED this center but am having a really hard time with communication. To make a long story short, I'm...

I feel this way often with alcohol, too. It doesn't happen every time I drink, but it really doesn't take much to get me feeling crummy after a drink even when I'm feeling ok. Wine and beer specifically make it harder to breathe and spark coughing whereas liquor/mixed drinks don't do that as much.

depending on what you're on antibiotic-wise, some meds are really harsh on peripheral veins and only allow regular IVs to last a day or so. I've always had that problem. A PICC line will allow you to use one line the whole time you're on abx. I've met CFers who prefer regular IVs and just have...
