Ok, so we all know (better than most) that life is short. I'm 24 and doing well with my CF but of course that can change over night. Lately I find myself getting extremely frustrated and angry because I haven't been able to accomplish the only two major goals I set for myself in life, which is...

Ok, so not really CF related but I saw a mention about it in another post and wanted to make sure I got a reply. Somebody said something about the nuva ring birth control. How exactly does it work? I'm on the patch right now and I like it but sometimes having a sticker on your butt for 3 weeks...

If its not one thing its the other! I was on antibiotics and couldn't do anything but poop and now that they're out of my system, that's all I want to do! I'm thinking of calling the clinic its so bad! I'm going to try a laxative first but if it doesn't work I'll go in. I'm not vomiting or...

A while ago there was a topic asking if anyone has a myspace page. I just made mine today (I'm not at home so I will add pictures later today) so feel free to check it out. Just do a search for frog princess (but I think that comes up with 10 hits) or you can search for Jessi Mollman. If any of...

Ok, it took me a while to work up the nerve but I broke up with my bf last night. Its been coming for a while I just haven't been able to go through with it. We had a good 4 years together but he doesn't want to get married or have kids and I do. I feel bad because he's a great guy, but I'm not...

I just started doing yoga and I love it! It stretches you out and gets you breathing deep and regular. I feel so good after I get done with a session that I want to do it again! I highly recommend it to anyone!

I'm SO bored with my relationship. I've been with my boyfriend for almost 4 years (we've lived together for about 2 1/2). Its to the point now where I kind of feel like we're room mates. He's a great guy, would never cheat, he's not violent or even prone to get angry (he won't even argue with...

Hey all, most of you are more experienced with IV antibiotics than me (I've NEVER had to do it) so I knew this would be the place to ask. I don't produce much sputum and they always have a hard time getting a sample from me at clinic, they usually have to swab me and we all know that swabs...

This isn't CF related but you guys all understnad this stuff <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> so..... My boyfriend's grandmother passed away on Monday (she had a few strokes and has not been doing well for a few years, then last week stopped eating and drinking, I...

I want to get a portable nebulizer that I can travel with. Does anyone know of a good one and about how much do they cost?

Some of you may remember my recent trouble trying to get into my CF clinic after the doc in charge of a research study I'm in was concerned about my PFTs. Well they worked me in, my appointment was for this Monday (the 23rd). So I get this message on my voice mail today "We've had some...

He's had a terrible weekend, got a ticket on Friday, on Saturday his motorcylce broke down, and today he broke his toe at work. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0"> Now all he can do is sit and watch TV with his foot up.

I posted this in Families too but what the heck. I was in the vitamin store today and they were sampling papaya enzyme suppliments. The girl said that it helps break down protein (good for low carb dieters I assume). She said it makes you more regular if you know what I mean. Anyway, I was just...

I was in the vitamin store today and they were sampling papaya enzyme suppliments. The girl who worked there said that it helps break down protein (I would guess lo-carb dieters buy this stuff by the case), but I thought it could be good for us too. She said it can help make you...

Ok, I'm participating in a research study and went in today to do a portion of it. I only go in every 6 months for this one. Anyway, my PFTs were down 13 points from last time. The doc in charge of the study said to get into clinic in the next week or 2 maybe go on antibiotics. So as soon as I...

Ok, so I got a little cold, no big deal. However my throat got irritated and I started coughing and lost my voice. My throat is swollen and raw, which isn't helping things. Does anyone know of a good home remedy for laryngitis?

Ack!! So this isn't about CF but I know you guys will be ok with me venting a little bit. My dad is having a quadruple by-pass tomorrow. STRESS!!! This is all very sudden, we just found out about his heart disease today. I'm so stressed out I might have a heart attack myself. Wish us luck.

Hey everyone, my new cousin was born yesterday, he was 8 weeks early. He only weighs 3 pounds. Fortunatly he was breathing on his own but they put him in an incubator to make it easier for him. We're all pulling for the little guy. I work at Motherhood Maternity and we sell awareness bracelets...

Does anyone else get an upset stomach from their vitamins? I do! If I take them in the morning, whether I eat or not, I throw up. When I take them with dinner I get heart burn. I even take Tums for calcium and still get heart burn!!!! If you don't have this problem please tell me what kind of...

I don't know why I thought of this but I was wondering if anyone has interesting or unusual pets. My boyfriend and I have a snake.
