    I really want to become CF healthy

    So last time I got my FEV (I think it's called that), I scored 106%. I fear that I have decreased by a large number. My last chest x-ray I had minor lung scarring. But I really want to get healthy in terms of my lungs. I'm at a good weight (and my doctors have given me the 'go head' sign to...

    I probably need enzymes for medical brownies?

    So I feel like an alien sometimes. Because there are times I eat a ton of dairy or meat without enzymes, and I feel perfect. I do eat a lot of yogurt during those times, which makes me even more confused cause isn't there a nice amount of fat in yogurt?? I am a medical patient for my state. So...

    Is it illegal to reuse an "outdated" prescription?

    So for the past year I've gone through trial and errors with my doctors trying out different prescription (ie. Paxi, Prozac, Klonopin, Xanax, etc.). About 8 months ago I asked my doctor to switch me from Klonopin back to Xanax (something I had taken previously) because I figured that worked...

    If i dont take my enzymes with a meal high in fats and proteins and what not will I..

    Will I not digest the calories? Or will I only get calories from the foods I can digest, like veggies and fruit. I'm watching what I eat while working out and I sometimes cheat and eat high calorie foods, so what I do is I don't take my enzymes, cause my reasoning is if I can't digest it I...

    Anybody have extreme digestive issues after eating sushi?

    So I don't always take my enzymes, and usually when I go to sushi, it's especially worse. I love sushi so much, so much that I'll suffer through the pain and long hours it gives after. Does anyone else experience diarrhea, extreme stomach pain, etc? Like it's the worst food not to take enzymes with.

    Lung Washing

    So my teacher asked if I've ever had my lungs suctioned before. I had no idea what that meant so after tons of research, I found out he may be talking about a lung washing. I watched a short video about it, and it looks like it would feel amazing. But what exactly is it? Is it painful? What's it...

    I never knew this! I'm very healthy, so would this exempt me from participating? If not, how do I do this and what are the limit of a wish? Like can they grant me the wish to going to culinary school or going on a world wide trip to different countries?

    I'm not a normal teenage guy

    I swear I'm not normal. I feel like I'm an "old soul", literally. I have traditional values, I find women back in the 30s-50s era the most beautiful, and I hate how women dress slutty and have piercings. I even hate ear piercings. The thing that makes me most abnormal, is I don't really think...

    Can CFers digest candy and bread?

    Something I've always said to myself when it comes to things I can/can't digest is if it comes anywhere from an animal I can't digest it. That's been something that's helped me. But what about candy and bread and chips and stuff like that?
