Uhhhh..... who in the crap is your doctor? Sounds like you need a new one to me. I agree with you. If my doctor started that stuff, he/she wouldn't see me any more. It's amazing to me the people and even doctors are so uneducated about CF. Where do you live? If there was any way you could...

I did not know Selina, but am terribly soryy to hear this. When I was a kid, every Summer I went to Camp Wak-N-Hak in Georgia. Each year when we would come back, we would always find out that friends had passed away. My thoughts and prayers are with Selina and her family. ccflewallen

Maybe Im in the dark on this issue or something, but there seems to be an awful percentage of CFers who either do or have smoked pot. It would be interesting to know if that percentage is higher than that of non Cfers. And if so, then whats the deal with it? Depression, rebellion, dont care...

Hmmmm..... a person with cystic fibrosis smoking marajuana ....kind of like picking up an angry rattle snake. Yeah, I did smoke a cigarette when I was about 14 or so. The next day I felt really nervous and thought about smoking another one, but thought better of it. However, for fifteen...

In october of 2001, I coughed up probably a cup of blood all at once. It was reallllly scary and it landed me in the hospital for nine days at Vandy. Of course this was a one time thing to be that bad. What I see that you have coughed up looks pretty bad but I dont know how serious it is...

good to hear from you tonight mockingbird. i dont know if it was the screen name or what, but until last night (which was only the second night I ever posted on here) I thought you were a girl. I have no idea what made me think that. You didn't say anything to give me that impression I dont...

The only way you can keep your medication expenses or any medical expense for that matter is either get a job with really good insurance (good luck finding one) or be so unhealthy that you cant work and get disability (which is what I will probably do at some point). And then again maybe if you...

Hi Diane, glad to have you on board <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> Yes these forums can get pretty silly at times and very good at the same time. I have only been on here for two days and it didn't take long to see that there are a very wide range of views...

If a woman is "with child" maybe you've heard of pregnancy being described that way, than she has another human being living inside her. I don't know of any clearer way to put it. If that pregnancy is terminated voluntarily because mom decided she didnt want a baby, then that baby will die, be...

If you could reference where I classified someone as a "bad person" that would help me better understand your anger and I will quickly apoligize. Never mind that. I apoligize in advance because maybe it was the way I said something that made you think this way. It looks as though Mockingbird...

See that is something that gets to me. When you were young and had a hard time getting sputum up and sweat was burning your eyes, lights and whistles should have been going off somewhere. Especially when you were 22. Oh that just burns me up, theres no excuse in my opinion. But anyway, back...

I think it is interesting what people will say sometimes (including myself) to justify something they want to do or do not want to stop doing. Are we rebelling or what? Why do we do that?

Yes I was fortunate to be diagnosed at birth. I had a blockage. There is a fancy name for that but I am not about to try to spell it lol. I was transported by helicopter from a army hospital in NC to Chapel Hill where they fixed the problem and diagnosed me shortly thereafter. I am...

milk gives me gas quite often as well. it stinks too LOL. Dont know if it is just something common among CFers or not, but sure its possible. It doesn't constipate me though. Maybe a little crampiness. How much dairy are you feeding him?

What I like about you already is your optimism. You seem to be really upbeat despite your condition. I say keep it up, it will be to your benefit. I am wondering why you weren't tested during the time you were diagnosed with asthma? Also, did you cough up much "stuff" when you were younger...

Not offended, never read Les Miserables. Whisper behind my back to who? Thats one of the good things about these settings. We can sort of vent or whatever you want to call it and not really worry about those "backstabbers" in our own town. If we talk behind one anothers back, who is going to...

Would you agree with the statement: if you can get arrested for it, then its probably wrong? As for abortion, its not up to us to tell someone whether they can abort a child. However, if there is a living, breathing, human being inside you and he/she is fully developed like in the late second...

Wow! Just diagnosed at 33, two kids, and now cepacia. What a dramatic turnaround. Well, you are certainly a rare case of CF I think. How long have you had digestion issues? Have your children been tested? You will probably get tons of questions so I wont flood you right away. My name is...

just my opinion, but if it is up to each individual and we shouldn't say whether anything is right or wrong, why do we have laws and regulations and rules? Why is Saddam Hussein in prison? He probably didn't think he was doing anything wrong by killing people. It was their way of doing...

This is not a debatable issue so I am dropping the "right or wrong issue". No I am not in charge of it, but someone is. People can choose to think that right and wrong is up to each individual if they want. We do not control each other. Not saying that is what you guys think so dont jump...
