This happened to me a few times when I've fallen asleep with my iv's running. As long as you were able to flush the line and seal it with the heparin without trouble you should be OK. Mention it to your doctor or nurse that comes and takes care of the line. They may be able to put your mind...

Hey everyone! I know I haven't been on in a while but I thought I'd update you all in my transplant journey. I'm about 3/4 through all the paperwork. The next step is waiting for the call to go down to Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, FL for evaluations and then I'll be added to the list! I'm a...

How ironic that this post came up. I did the same thing to my back wisdom tooth a few weeks ago. I'm terrified of the dentist but lately the area is super sensitive to cold and getting on my nerves so I think I'm going to have to go see a dentist soon.

I was diagnosed in 1985 at 4 months old due to failure to thrive

I'm on Creon 24s and I take 13 with meals, 8-10 with snacks. I've been on Creon forever and I never had a problem with them.

Oh jeez! Terrie I wish I would've scrolled down further to see your post! My CF clinic's nutritionist ordered me cases of Nutren 1.5 High Calorie Liquid Nutrition. It's made by Nestle in vanilla. They're 375 calories a can. I have so many I could give you as many as you want! PM me or answer...

I have very elevated liver enzyme levels too but I can't remember what they were. I was put on Actigall when I was 12 and was told I could not play contact sports because of my enlarged spleen and liver. I was also put on a blood pressure medication at that age too but I couldn't tolerate it...

I would ask the Gastro to do an ultrasound to make sure that it isn't fluid build up. I went on for months with distention that got worse and worse until it was so painful. Even if they do an ultrasound and they say it's not fluid I would ask to try a combination of water pills (I have been...

I don't access my port myself. I also have a nurse who comes each month for a monthly port flush. I have mine in my chest and I don't mind the location, I don't think I'd get one placed in my arm.

I understand how you're feeling about calling the doctor a lot, I used to feel the same way. After a while I just told myself that it's MY health and I deserve to feel as well as I can each day and if that means calling him more than usual than so be it. You deserve to feel better!! It...
