Just wondered if anybody heard this on the Paul Harvey Radio Show. It isn't very elaborate, but he mentions that there will be a pill to remedy CF & MD with clinical trials starting this year. Here is the link if anybody wants to listen. It is listed under the Monday noon show and it's just a...

I was just wondering if any of you might know if you can still take vitamins that are expired? I have some Vitamin C that expired 2/06. I've got 3 bottles left and I hate to thrown my money away. From what I have read, you can still take them but their potency is not as good. Do any of you...

Just wanted to mention that my sister (julie61554) was admitted to the hospital on Friday. We're not exactly sure yet what the problem is, but they started her on iv antibiotics. I don't know if she will get her chest xray and sputum results on Saturday or not. I don't think it is too...

I know this is a little late, but just wanted to mention that the Geminid meteor shower is tonight. I was out for a few minutes and saw 1. I will probably be going out in a couple of hours to watch for awhile. I love to watch these things. I think it's just amazing to watch (that is when...

I'm sure most of you are familiar with the 65 Roses Story. I'm just wondering if the actual story is true or not. I know they use the name Mary Weiss in the story, but I didn't know if she was an actual person or if they just picked a name and used that story. Maybe somebody out there can...

I had a very bad case of nausea/stomach upset (thought I was going to throw up several times but never did) early Saturday morning. I had taken my first dose of amoxicillin (generic for augmentin) late Friday night (about 11:00). About 2:15 or so I started getting that nausea feeling. I don't...

Just wondering is anybody knows much about Elderberry (I think it is actually Black Elderberry). I bought a bottle of pills (not liquid) because my sister had heard that it was good to help keep you from getting sick. I haven't taken any yet because I don't know much about it. I asked my...

I'm just curious, I read several responses to Jennifershope survey of people who skip their nebs all together. I'm just wondering how you can do that without it effecting your breathing? I know if I skip my treatment, then I'm pretty much coughing and congested most of the day. Maybe you guys...

First, I just want to say thank you to Julie who has been very helpful in answering my emails. I have a question that maybe someone else in the forum might be able to help me with. I am seriously thinking of applying for disability. My dilemma is that I am currently working, but only...

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to do this; if not, please let me know. I'm still new to all this message board stuff (rules, etc.). Here is a website that has a wide range of music www.broadjam.com. My brother is a musician and he has several songs on there. If you would like to hear any of his...

I had my first HS treatment at the clinic today. It wasn't nearly as bad as I expected it to be. I know it's different for people, but for me, it just seemed like a regular breathing treatment. I did cough slightly more. I didn't really notice that it helped much (but it didn't hurt either)...

Hello. I've noticed that a lot of people on here post asking about specific gene mutations. I must be out of the loop or just behind on CF information. How do they determine what gene you have? I didn't even realize they could do this. Are certain genes worse than others? Just curious.

Hello. I thought I would post this to see if anybody else has experienced this. After coughing hard for a few minutes, I break out in a sneeze in the middle of coughing. I know my sister does this as well. Just wondered if anybody else has experienced this (if maybe it is a CF related thing)...
