    Anyone else have reactive hypoglycemia?

    The nutritionist at CF clinic told me I have reactive hypoglycemia - Every morning, I wake up feeling fine, sometimes hungry, and eat breakfast at around 7:30. Around 10:00, my blood sugar crashes - I feel ravenous, spacey, shaky, and sometimes sweaty. I eat a snack with protein and carbs, which...

    I want to know what percent of CFers work

    After I finished college, I spent four years working full-time for a private engineering firm, which meant I worked about 50 hours a week. I felt like I was running on a treadmill, fitting in treatments, exercise, working, doctor's appointments, and then all of the "life" stuff like taking the...

    First, Congratulations! I know it's been a month now since your initial question, but I wanted to chime in based on my own experiences. First, as far as treatments go, can you do some of them while you nurse? I used to do hypertonic saline while nursing, because I figured there was no harm if...

    Peak Flow vs PFTs

    Thanks for the responses. I am definitely going to ask my CF doctor about it at my next clinic visit. I found a spirometery print-out from about two years ago, and it says my FEV1 was 110%, but my FEF 25% was only 87% predicted (about 300 L/sec compared to the 400 L/sec I blow in the peak flow...

    Peak Flow vs PFTs

    I am a bit confused - yesterday I went to the allergist and they had my do PFTs and use a peak flow meter. I'm not very experienced using peak flow meters, so I don't know a lot about them. <br><br>My PFTs were good - FEV1 115%. However, my peak flow was not so good - according to the nurse...

    Pseudomonas treatment

    I have cultured PA for the "first time" twice - the actual first time my doctor put me on tobi for three months straight, and Cipro for a long time, although now I can't remember the dose or for how long it was - I know it was at least a month and I got C. diff - I would definitely recommend...
