    Losing Weight After Baby

    Hi Alisha, I understand completely! I was slightly overweight prior to getting pregnant (at 184 lbs), but I knew that was fine since it's good to have a little extra weight on us sometimes. I got up to 196 lbs during my pregnancy. Right after I gave birth, I lost almost 30 lbs and was down...

    Is there snow where you are?

    Yes, and I am loving it! Too bad I spent the entire day shoveling out yesterday and I am so sore today. We got about 16 or 17 inches where I am in Mass. But my kids had a blast yesterday playing in it and it really does look beautiful when it first falls.

    kidney stones

    Hi Haley, Kidney stones are fairly common in CF, something like 10 or 20% of people get them. I have had them for over 10 years now. I just recently underwent 2 lithotripsy procedures that took care of my 7 and 8mm stones (my biggest ones yet). Usually if they are 6mm or larger they will...

    Low blood sugar - late morning

    Everyone, Thanks for the advice. I am truly hoping this is not CFRD, but I'm sure my Endo will be helping me get things stabilized in the upcoming weeks when I go for my follow-up. I'm a little freaked out about the CFRD thing because I'm so bad with restrictions in my diet - I tend to eat...

    Low blood sugar - late morning

    Just wanted to give you all an update... I ate breakfast this morning at 8am (frosted shredded wheat) and I went to work this morning as usual. Around 9:45am I started feeling the hypoglycemia symptoms, so I decided to take my blood sugar level. It was 100. I was puzzled, because I was...

    PINK vest

    I just got mine in the mail today and I'm using it for the first time. The only complaint I have is that there is no vibration at the top of the shoulders. Do you think that the upper lobes are getting as much of a shake as the old vest version? I'm a little concerned about that since my...

    Allergic reaction to Augmentin?

    I am allergic to Augmentin, along with Levaquin, Cipro, and Bactrim. The allergies to antibiotics are quite common in CF due to us having to use them so frequently.
