    Redneck....

    Since we are a medical related site after all, I thought I would rise to the challenge with these redneck medical terms that I found. Enjoy! Artery: The study of paintings. Bacteria: Back door to cafeteria. Barium: What doctors do when patients die. Benign: What you be after you be eight...

    To those that used Robitussin/Mucinex

    So, I take Mucinex anyway since it really helps keep my lung stuff moving. But I usually just take one tablet a day in the morning. If I take it twice a day then half the time I am hacking up a lung while trying to sleep. But as far as helping to conceive should I be taking it twice a day...

    FINALLY!

    After 2 1/2 months I FINALLY got my period today! I am supposed to hear back from the OB by Monday but I guess that's not needed anymore, ha! Now I can start charting and hopefully we will be on our way to making a baby soon! Thanks everyone for your advice and support!

    The Stella Awards

    It's time once again to review the winners of the annual "Stella Awards." The "Stella Awards" are named after 81-year-old Stella Liebeck who spilled hot coffee on herself and success- fully sued McDonald's (in New Mexico). That case inspired the Stella Awards for the most frivolous and...

    What to do...

    When I went to the OB on the 11th my period was 3 weeks late, but all my pregnancy tests were negative. She told me to do another pregnancy test if I still didn't get my period by the 25th. So I did another test on the 26th, also negative. BUt I have been having some PMS symptoms since...

    Charting.....

    So I've read up a little on charting my temp and stuff. So I get the concept, but I'm wondering if anyone knows of a web site or something where I can just plug in my temperature every day and it will do the charting for me?

    What % HTS do you use?

    So I've been on 3% HTS for about a year now, and lately I've been thinking that its not really doing the job. It works fine while I'm actually DOING the treatment, but within probably a half hour I feel like the slime is back to normal. When I first started it I thought that it kept stuff nice...

    The instructions: Change one letter in the previous word to make a new word. The rules: You cannot add letters, you cannot use forgeign languages. Starting word: <b>FOOD</b>

    Airway clearance and pregnancy

    I asked my CF doc about getting a vest at my last visit, but she said that I may just want to wait since we are trying to get preggy and the vest is not recommended during pregnancy. So my question to all of you is: what do you do for airway clearance?

    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

    So I dropped off my scrip for enzymes at the pharmacy Wednesday (this is the first time I have needed enzymes since going to this pharmacy so it was a new scrip for them). I knew they would probably have to order it so even though I was low on them I gave them enough time to get them in before...

    A little confused

    I went for my "prenatal councilling" today and I LOVE the OB, she's fabulous, takes an aggressive approach with her CF mommies, and handles 90% of CF mommies for the UW! What has me a little befudled is that my period is 3 weeks late, but all the pregnancy tests I've done (including at the...

    Just curious...

    So, you CF mommies...were you able to breast feed, or does malnuourishment prevent it? When I have a baby I would love to breast feed if possible but if not, that's ok too.

    Update on us!

    I just felt like updating everyone on me and Brian. He is doing so much better! He still sees the therapist once a week. It sounds like he is actually liking it too, which is amazing to me because he fought tooth and nail about going to a therapist for months even before his suicide attempt...
