Hello, I also go to UCSD Thornton. I use to go to the Children's hospital in San Diego. I like both, but I got hospitalized a little over a year ago and it was my first time staying at Thornton. I really liked it, especially since a couple hospitals by my house are horrible. They took really...

I think once we make the decision to start really trying, I am going to give the musanex and preseed a 4 month shoot. If that doesn't work I think IUI is the next option. Its crazy that my lungs are healthy, im at a very healthy weight of 150lbs, but I cant conceive. I really think it has...

Thanks for the advice. Once I figure out which school I am going to, I am going to start applying like crazy. I really cant afford the school I want to go to, so I am hoping this helps. I only have a 3.0 gpa so I am hoping that is good enough to receive some scholarship money.

This is true companies are not what they use to be. There is no longer looking at employees as assets. They see us as replaceable because of the economy. There is so many people looking for jobs that companies just don't care about their employees. I experienced this with my current job where...

Don't disclose in the interview. I said one that I have to have surgeries every year and a half (polyps) and I didn't get hired. I thought I was going to for sure have the job but they don't have to give you a reason why you didn't get the job.

Hello everyone, I was wondering if charting really makes a difference in getting pregnant. I have been in a long term relationship for 5 years now and never have been on birth control. We are engaged now and getting things in line to later have a baby. I went to have my (3rd day period test)...

Have any of you had luck with applying for the scholarships for cystic fibrosis? Any recommendations on which ones to apply for? They are very time consuming and I really don't have much time with working part time and school full time. I am behind in my studies, went to school later in life, so...

Cut out milk and chesse, I did and I started to feel so much better. Its not good for you anyways, its full of crap, and actually thickens mucus in humans. Anything that is hard to digest is going to give you gas. Bad oil and fat is a main factor. Its funny how I don't get it when I consume...

Another weird thing is how I handle garlic on the daily, eat it all the time, and I have never cultured PA, but you did at 15. Weird! Are you sure your winning the sick game that you like to play? To me you look like nothing but a loser, in all aspects!

haha this gave me a really good laugh, thank you for that. First off, you have wayyyy too much time on your hands. Im not going to take my whole day to respond to your ranting, but ill respond a couple words. You may personally think your "smart" I think your far from it. You will never...

Eat foods high in Vitamin C. I like to blend in my nutribullet lots of oranges and a garlic clove with mixed veggies and fruits. Pineapple is another good one. Do this 3 times a day until you are better. This has helped me out with my health so much.

I have had 9 nasal surgeries on polyps. I am ddf508 and seem to have all the side effects of cf. Lungs and weight are strong but I get polyps all the time. my save your body some stress and avoid the steroids the doc wants to give you and just go for the surgery. Even if you do the steroids and...

Soda is really bad! I cant stand it! I have been trying to have more water because I just got rid of a kidney stone. I bought a glass container on ebay and I have been cutting up lemon slices. I put the water in the glass container, add the lemon slices, add a couple mint sprigs, and a pinch of...

I have the same problem, I perspire like crazy, its horrible. Im glad I finally found something that works. I tried the alcohol when I was at work once, and it was all I had. It does work also.

When it comes to deodorant it is hard for me to find something that works. Im not sure if it has something to do with the CF or not. Ive been having to use the store brands of clinical protection. These are really bad for you but I felt like I had no choice since the store natural brands didn't...

I have learned from dealing with my fiancé and his family that most people just do not understand our disease. I think my fiancé finally does, but I do not think his family does. It is also very annoying, so I can relate. My fiancé has a 6 year old son that lives half the time at the...

I have had 9 sinus surgeries and I do not get the symptoms you are talking about. Once I did have one eye that was watering constantly. That's really it though. I just have restricted breathing in my nose but I don't really notice it because Im so use to it.

Hello, I work at a winery in southern California. I work at the hotel in the lounge as a cocktail server. I like being a server because Im moving at a fast pace for about 6 hours. At my place we have to go up an down stairs to get to the kitchen, so I at least walk up 15 flights of stairs a...

hum.....funny, now that you mention it, it is a little weird that I am almost 28 and never cultured anything but staph. I put the raw garlic in my blender and juice it because it is high in Vit C. You can get those bacteria's from anything. My doctor said there really is no way of avoiding it...

I grew up choosing not to take the meds and chose to research what was best for me. The natural stuff and the stuff doctors prescribed. The tea tree oil was just something to consider. Im not sick, and havnt been for over a year but Im been placing a bowl of hot water in my apartment with some...
