    prednisone pre-transplant

    Thank you both for your words. It's helpful to hear your stories. "at my last tx educational seminar (I'm pre-tx) everyone in the crowd groaned when the pharmacist said we would be on it forever (I cheered quietly)" That cracked me up. I was just admitted and my doc said he's going to put me...

    pre-trans quality of life

    Laura and mag6125 - Sorry I didn't explain fully in my original post but I added an edit to it. I'm pretty informed about transplants as I was evaluated in 2002 and have gone to quarterly pre-xplant appts at my center as well as the educational seminars they put on / support groups since then...

    Thank you so much for your replies. Ldude - "My symptoms were not specifically lung related - it was more fatigue and just terrible quality of life." This is very helpful for me to hear. My CF doc continually points out that most patients have more lung-related symptoms upon admission. He...
