There have been some people asking how the Private Topic feature works. Mockingbird graciously posted a tutorial, but here's what I learned from a trial thread I posted: First you click on the Private Topics Category. Then select New Topic A screen will come up with KEYWORD___________ [search]...

I tried to post to CaliSally's <i>Brady Bunch </i>(lol) blog twice and when the reply box comes up, there's a cup of coffee with the word Java in the reply box & my computer locks up. This happened a few months ago with another particular blog (computer would lock up). Anyone else had this...

OK, I hope I'm not loosing my mind, but I'm sure I saw a post on the "People who use CF to make money" thread stating that Jason had passed away. Well, I PM'd someone to share this information with & the post from Jason's "friend" isn't there anymore & the thread is locked??? What the heck? Was...

I am currently taking an oral med for my CFRD, but it doesn't seem to be working as well as it used to. In addition to not bringing the sugars down as good as I would like, it can cause my blood sugars to "crash" if I happen to forget to snack approx 2.5-3 hours later. So, I had a couple of...

Is it just my computer, or is anyone else having problems navigating around the Forums/blogs?? What's going on....anyone know?

I'm posting this as a favor to a young lady that is wanting to survey parents of CF children that are enrolled in public school. She is doing this survey as part of a class. Her boyfriend has CF. I saw this survey on another CF website & asked if I may post it here, thinking she would get a...

If everyone is like me, you never look at the Off Topic category and I wanted to let you know that "someone" turned 42 today and there is a thread in the off topic category wishing her happy birthday!

The following is something that our SS teacher mentioned one time that I thought was interesting. I have not taken the time to verify it as fact, so I'm just assuming that it is. The Middle of The Bible.... What is the shortest chapter in the Bible? (Answer - Psalms 117) What is the...

I realize I'm not a teenager or a young person, but thought maybe one of you could help me out.<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> We got our daughter an iPod for Christmas & when she went to download songs to it from iTunes, it also downloaded all of the songs from...

This is going to sound silly, but I've often wondered if any of you experience any indigestion or anything else from using the vest? I also have always wondered if it's good for all your organs to be shook around, since that probably wasn't a consideration back when your organs were designed (or...

I wanted to share something that happened to me today. I don't have a blog so here goes... I went to McDonald's today with my daughter for lunch and we were going to drive thru. Well, this guy was driving in from the side & hesitated to cut in front of me, I motioned for him to cut, he motioned...

I have recently had some issues and I wondered if I may have GERD or somthing similar. Lately, I've had a taste in my mouth almost all the time. Sometimes it's a good, sweet taste & other times it tastes rotten, to be frank about it. I was thinking it could be a breath/oral hygiene thing but I...

I saw an article at Medscape regarding some counterfeit glucometer strips that are in circulation. From what I understand they give blood sugar readings that are way out of line, resulting in possible insulin overdose. The strips involved are for One Touch Basic and One Touch Ultra glucometers...

I recently started taking Zithromax and my doctor prescribed 250 mg 1X a day. I've seen on here where others take it every other day, or on M-W-F, etc. and I guess I'm just curious...does anyone else take it daily? I'm also curious why doctors would only have you take it 3X a week as opposed to...

I saw another thread where someone was less than satisfied with a previous doctor that didn't take the appropriate steps in her treatment and that got me to thinking--is there a governement watch-dog type agency that oversees doctors/hospitals, etc? I have one doctor that I should probably get...

The last two nights, right before bedtime I have had severe pain in my very lower abdomen. It feels like cramps sometimes, shooting pains sometimes and almost like a twisting feeling under my skin at other times. On a scale of 1-10, I would guess the pain is an 8 or 9. It lasts anywhere from 2-3...

Well...the title says it all. Today I am 40! So does this make me a Senior Citizen by CF standards?? LOL

After reading a post on this site, I went to see where a certain person lived & when I selected USER PROFILE, I got this weird screen that was similar to this: <b>Lynda's User Profile (View Posts) User is not Rated</b> So then I checked others user profiles, such as my own, where I know info...

I had an episode last night where suddenly I felt that the only space I had to breathe with ended at the bottom of my neck and I was very hot too & it scared the begeezies out of me. I only had this happen one other time approx 9 years ago....where all the sudden my throat tightens up & all air...

I started to post this in the "Over 40 Club" thread but thought it would possibly apply to adults of all ages. Here was my original post-- OK, this is going to be coming out of left field, but as I was looking at pictures posted in the latest issue of CF Roundtable, I noticed that almost all of...
