Ditto on the AquaDEKs - I get vitamins free from CF Care Forwards...mail my receipt when I order my CREON from Caremark and they mail me two free bottles. I called them today (CF Care Foward) they are mailing out Aquadeks until shortage is over. I can tell a difference when I go off of...

Call PSI and CFPAF...numbers are at cfhelp.org You should be able to get them for free between your private insurance, PSI as secondary and CFPAF. Those are are un-insured, call CFPAF and ask them to help you navigate the free programs.

I've started doing Bikram "Hot" yoga...it's a 1.5 hour class in 105 degree studio...it helps with my joint pain. But I only do it once per week to avoid losing too much weight.

Also amazon.com lets you dowlonad movies for 2/3 dollars a down load and you can watch them for 7 days. That's how I watched Eva Markvoort's 65 Red Roses, instead of buying DVD I paid 2 bucks on Amazon.

Here's a thought....netflix gives you first month free...sign up when you get admitted and cancel before you leave and won't get charged. If you are a hospital "frequent flyer" like me and get admitted a lot, just use a different debit card and e-mail and sign up multiple times, canceling each...

Iv's wipe me out physically and make be have "brain fog" ...the worst I've ever been on was oral Flagyll when I had C-diff caused by the antibiotics..made me vomit, dizzy, foggy, emotionally wacked out too.

I guess we could list Printer/Bill as an annoying/gross thing that comes from CF?

Coughing spasms that come before you realize you are having one and sputum goes everywhere....have had this happen a few times, it's so embarassing.

YAY! Love, (L) "Champ"

Awww, you poor old, bitter, un-happy man... Hey! Maybe I will have the time also to sit in front of my computer and play on internet forums all day too!!!

Over the years I have run across all kinds of "goodies" that have made my life much easier. Other than my doctor visits and admissions, I really don't pay for my meds, even the co-pays after my private insurance. I have compiled the below database and wanted to pass it along. Hope it helps...

I'm not a mom, 27 year old male, who just made the work to non-work transition. I love it. I sleep in every day...do my meds and treatments, without rushing, so nice, usually hit the gym everyday, I volunteer one day a week at the food bank, and ride and show horses. In my down time, I read...
