Does anybody use Atrovent as part of their daily routine? How about that little handheld device called Aeropika? I just started using Aeropika and for the 1st 3 days it was great. It seemed to get crap out that was deep in my little airways and I could breathe better. But for 5 days after...

it is not the end of the world. I cultured Pseudomonas 20 years ago and I am still going. I am 53 now. I have to deal with occasional flare ups, but my advice to you is don't panic. Your child will sense that something is wrong and get scared. Just a set back that is going to happen with this...
The only thing I have found to suppress cough is hydocodone cough syrup. it is a narcotic and has a risk of addiction, but my doctor and I discussed using it and she agreed that sleep is important. I do tons of treatments during the day and exercise a lot to get the crap out. At night I use the...
No it doesn't have anything to do with CF. The obvious question that comes to mind is if you aren't aroused by women, do you feel aroused by men? Nothing weird about it, just need to figure it out for yourself.
What the heck is wrong with you KnowItAll? Why the name calling? Why the animosity? If you have something constructive to say then say it without the name calling, otherwise stay out of this forum!
It is my experience that if you are only getting IV meds in the hospital than doing it at home is much better. The comfort of home, the better food, the better sleep, the less stress are all factors. I don't ever go to the hospital unless they want to do some extensive tests or some treatments...
OccupyJapan, Excellent post. Thank you. There is a new product out called cellgevity that gets glutathione into the body orally. it has a compound called D-Ribose L-Cysteine which supposedly prevents glutathione from breaking down.
The science of it sounds promising, but not sure if it is just...
Is it better then Curcumin for combating inflammation? Everybody was raving about curcumin and I tried that. Can't really tell a difference. I've never heard of pharmanac. Does it work?
PICC lines are no big deal. Inserting them is not painful. they give you a numbing shot and you don't feel a thing. I've had about 10 PICC lines in the last 10 years. Very easy to administer meds. No pain at all. The meds they gave you are a different story. They are probably going to be...
I use hydrocodone cough syrup to sleep. I hate using such a powerful narcotic, but I have no choice. I tried ambien and tylenol with codeine and both make my chest tight and breathing hard. The hydrocodone helps calm my cough and also relieves my chest tightness allowing me to sleep.
I would definitely add bananas. Also don't use frozen veggies or fruit. Use fresh whenever you can. I use fresh spinach, kale, red chard, and spinach. Too much sugar added in frozen fruit. Buy fresh berries in bulk, and then freeze them. Much cheaper too. Don't limit yourself. There are...
knowitall, you seem to be knowlegable about the science of Curcumin. My question is have you tried it and did you notice any results? Did it help with inflammation or overall breathing? I want to try the phytosome curcumin as you suggest.
I'm glad you restated your position. I think you are getting knee jerk reactions from people because they are reading what you are saying and perhaps not what you are meaning to say. I try to be respectful. I have seen some nasty replies back to you. I would say don't stop using the forums, but...
KMHBEAUTY, You have to be very careful with the advice you give people with CF especially somebody who is 18 years old and just starting to figure things out as an adult. Everybody is different. It sounds like you are fairly healthy. You are very very lucky. Being healthy is not because you...
How do you take each of those? Curcumin, oil of oregeno, and pharmanac? I struggle with inflammation and I am diabetic so I hate having to jump on steroids.
kmhbeauty, can you give me your "potion" for reducing inflammation. right now I drink green smoothies every day which include Kale, chard, spinach, collard greens, orange juice, black berries, strawberries, banana, and apple. this concoction does not seem to help with inflammation though. Maybe...
