Hi Radies, I relate completely to what you are saying. I worked for a very small (12 employees) company for a year and did not disclose my cf. I was covering for a woman on a long maternity leave. The nature of teh position meant I had to keep in close contact with her and we became v close...

Two of the most intelligent and high contributing posters leaving, that's a shame. I have no idea what's happening but I'm going to email you because I would hate to mss out on future discussions/ advice!

Come to think of it my dietician did mention that my vit D levels were the highest she'd seen in her cf patients! All my vitamins are always well within normal (if not in the upper) range, with the exception of vit A as retinol, vitamin A as carotene is absolutely fine but retinol is a bit low.

I amabout 75%Irish blood, with some Italian from my father's side. I live in a mild rainy climate with barely any sunshine but AS SOON as the sun is out I start to tan and will go very dark if I stay out in it! I like it!

Muchlove I'm so sorry to hear about this struggle. I would agree with the others that playing around with enzyme doses could help, try increasing gradually over a few days and see if it helps. In addition try to note if there are certain foods that bring on BMs more so than others. Your body...

No the tip is well into the atrium, I saw it on the scan monitor flailing about with ever heart beat. Apparently this is the latest recommendation to avoid PICC-associated narrowing of the vessels. I specifically asked why it needed to be in so far and that's what the radiologist said. The...

A couple of things regarding some of these comments that I have learned when asking the questions you are asking- -the patch may not be as effective in cf due to increased salt on the skin - they really aren't sure whether the pill is affected by malabsorption- the problem in cf is more due to...

Hi Clarice, Firstly, well done for making contact about this. CanI give you some urgent advice? What you are experiencingis a warning call from your body- it is not liking your lack of attention and believe me you are playing with fire. I had a blissful, practically cf-free childhood and...

Relatively speaking i've had quite little access. Didn't get an iv until age...
