Ok, DH and I have zero communication skills. He doesn't tell me ANYTHING! Big stuff, little stuff, doesn't matter. He is also much more focussed on what is going on with his family that is 3000 miles away than he is on us. I on the other hand try to talk to him and I might as well try talking to...

I'm not there yet, but how long should we try to get pregnant without success before seeing the doc about getting some medical intervention? I know for most people they won't even see you unless its been a year, but with CF women tending to have trouble in this department will they see us...

My friend Aimee and I are always talking about how we need to get into better shape, but we never do anything about it. So we thought that it would inspire us to have a goal, and why not raise some money at the same time? So the plan is that we are going to train our butts off and in two years...

So after 2 1/2 months of no period, I finally got it on July 7th. I thought we were home free. But I STILL haven't gotten my period this month. I am so irritated! My cycle was like clockwork before birth control so what gives!? I just did a pregnancy test that was negative. Why is it that...

I had my first session today and I think I'm hooked! If I had been any more relaxed I would have oozed off the table. I fell asleep on the table. It was great! You don't feel like you have needles in you at all, just a quick little bit of pressure as it goes in, and then after that it just...

Ever wonder about symptoms you might have that can't be explained by CF? I wrote down as many symptoms as I could think, CF related or not. Its quite a list. Fatigue, insomia, depression, mood swings, headaches, TMJ, IBS, chronic and sometimes severe back pain, muscle spasms, muscle aches...

A bus carrying only ugly people crashes into an oncoming truck, and everyone inside dies. As they stand at the Pearly Gates waiting to enter paradise and meet their maker, God decides to grant each person one wish because of the grief they have experienced. They're all lined up, and God asks the...

DOc looked over my MRI and said that there is nothing to be concerned about. No spurs, bulging disks, cysts, or anything else. So he says its probably muscular, *sigh*. We've been to the whole muscular diagnosis and gotten nowhere fast. But he said to stop going to physical therapy since it...

So for the last 2 days at work my boss has had a sore throat, cough, congestion, fever, chills, and aches. Classic flu symptoms! But here comes, everday, hacking and sneezing all over the place. Yesterday I got stuck at the station right next to him. I flat out said "I won't work next to...

I talked to the doc today, and the finding on my CT was nothing more than CF stuff. Her exact words were "consistant with cystic fibrosis". So YAY! I gave them my work number to call me at, and I swear, every time that phone rang this morning I thought I was gonna pass out, throw up, or both...

I had the MRI on my spine yesterday, which they said looks fine, but they "insidnetally saw something" on my lung. They said it could be nothing, but I have to go for a CT tomorrow morning so they can get a better look. I keep trying to focus on the "it could be nothing" but that's easier said...

So do I REALLY need a special BBT thermometer? I read somewhere that you should but somewhere else that it really doesn't matter. I am starting to wonder though because my temp has been kind of all over the place, my chart looks like a mountain range. And also its only gotten up to 98 once...

They just came out with their annual list of best medical centers! One of the catagories is resperatory care. Check it out to see if your hospital is on there. The two on the list that I know for sure off the top of my head that have CF clinics are the University of Washington (where I am...

Thanks for the advice everybody! I went back to the doctor yesterday. She pretty much said "this is ridiculous" and I go for an MRI on Tuesday and I have to make an appointment with a back specialist for sometime after the MRI.

This feels small after reading the news about Debbie, but life goes on huh? I woke up today with pain in my upper left chest.....probably pluerisy again. *Sigh* I've done so good since the last time! I don't need this now. Last time I ended up in the ER twice with severe pain and missed 2...

1. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night. 2. Don't worry about what people think, they don't do it very often. 3. Going to church doesn't make you a Christian anymore than standing in a garage makes you a car. 4. Artificial intelligence is no...

Since Feb. I have had this annoying pain that kinda goes around my right shoulder blade. At first I thought I had thrown my back out, it really felt like that's what it was! The chiropractor wasn't any help, so I went to the doctor (but wasn't able to get in to see my regular GP). He was no...

My work schedule is random so I don't get up at the same time everyday. Some days I have to wake up @ 4:00 am (uhg!). I know your'e supposed to take your BBT at the same time everyday but I can't. So is it going to throw my charting off really bad? Should I just use an OPK instead?
