I get these very strange problems with my vision every so often and I wondered if it had something to do with CF. I told my doctor about it a while ago and he seemed a little worried but that was about it. I have 20/20 vision, so it's not that I'm going blind, but often it happens when I'm...

Does anybody have full coverage in Utah? If so, what is it, how good is it? Are there any CF specific programs there? Thanks!

Wondering what other people's bone density levels are. Since this is part of the natural degenerative process with cf because of malnutrition, how are other people's bones doing? Mine has slowly lowered over the years, and then last year the density jumped even lower. Now I'm taking calcium (not...

I posted this in the off-topic section, but I know so many more people look in here. Hope you don't mind. Question: How do people deal with dog poop in the snow? I'm serious about this. You can't really pick it up during the winter months because it's in snow and too difficult to pick up with a...

How do people deal with dog poop in the snow? I'm serious about this. You can't really pick it up during the winter months because it's in snow and too difficult to pick up with a scooper, then when the snow turns icy you still can't pick it up. Then when there's fresh snow, everything is...

From the other Lysine thread, in the other section, people mostly said they took it for cold sores. The topic only touched on whether it also helps increase NAC or Glutathione (GSH). So does it, is it good to take for anti-inflammatory purposes or no? And what is MedImmune Plus do?

Just wanted everyone to be aware (if you don't already) that there is a new supplement section, aside from this adult section. Please don't forget it's there! I want to learn more about it all and I can't do that if no one goes there. Thanks!!!!!!!! <img...

From what I've read recently, DHA is an omega-3 oil and is considered an anti-inflammatory. So when you are low in DHA, there will be increased inflammation. Since CF causes inflammation, we need to try and control it and bring it down. I've seen that studies have been done on CF-mice with...

I can't believe how awesome she is. I have Tivo so I get to see her shows often and have been amazed at what she's done for huricane survivors! It's it awesome? The mere influencial power she has throughout the world because of how many people watch her shows. She's like one media all to herself.

Here is a lady's web site with an incredible amount of CF research and helpful info! Check it: http://www3.nbnet.nb.ca/normap/CF.htm Norma, are you on here?

I went to take my ADKES right now, and just noticed for the first time what it says on the bottle. It says you are suppose to "Chew Before Swallowing"! What in the world? I've never seen or heard of this, no one's mentioned that to me. Do you all chew the pills first?

BoooooH! My husband and I are going to England this spring and would like to stay in a haunted Bed & Breakfast. Does anyone know of any? Thanks!

Hello, I absolutely LOVE dairy but I get more congested after eating way too much. I can overdo it too, I love yogurt, cheese, everything but I start to wheeze soon after eating it too often and too much. My dielema is that I want to start taking the Scandi shakes again, because I like the taste...

I've read so much lately about everyone's FEV1s, so I was wondering how they relate to the peak flow readings. What are our FEV1s (again or not...) and your Peak Flow numbers? And, anyone doing the OO, what have your Peak Flow numbers done?

I was just reading through old posts here, and there was mention that cough suppressants are very bad for CF. Why? I take them often if I'm feeling crumy and need to sleep through the night. I've told my doctor that I take Theraflu sometimes or Nyquil cold pills when I have colds and he didn't...

I've been posting a lot of questions lately, and I hope it's not against "forum etiquette" to ask so many, because I have another. I am just so curious. Does anyone have the MAC bacteria? I never remember what the full name is, but it's an airborne bug. I don't know much about it but I'd like...

I am always fascinated when I hear about CF marathon runners. Are any of you out there? If so, I'd love to hear from you and find out what you do/did to train. How long was your run, how did you feel, how did it effect your PFTs, etc. I'm so curious! Kelly

Just wondering how other people handle telling employers or potential employers. Typically I don't tell anyone about CF until the opportunity presents itself. In the working world, I don't tell bosses until I have to go into the hospital. That's when I give me speech and say this is a routine...
