    Swallowing Creon pills

    I've always just taken mine whenever (was on Pancrease MT10, now Creon). Sometimes even hours after I'd eat due to forgetting. Though the last time I spoke to a nutritionist at the clinic said it is best to take them 15 mins or so before eating. She said it was similar to "unlocking doors." The...

    "Healthy" Teens

    Oh I know, story of my life. Being a girl it's like a mixed blessing. I've always found it hard to associate the more negative aspects of this disease with myself because I just don't see those things in my life. Yet. I remember as a kid I fought the vest so hard because I was perfectly healthy...

    Treatments w/oxygen

    Hmm... Interesting about 10L being too high. My dad suggested that, as he's an RT. Oh dad... Lol. I've noticed that when I do a longer treatment my room gets kinda foggy; my mom was saying that most of my meds must be floating around my room. Guess I'll have to experiment with this a bit more...

    Treatments w/oxygen

    so maybe I'm a total noob and am behind the times, but I've recently discovered doing aerosol treatments hooked up to an oxygen tank <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">. The idea just popped into my head after a hospital stay in December and I think it's fantastic. My...

Had they backed off things wouldn't...

    ANOTHER CF CHILD AT MY DAUGHTER'S SCHOOL

    I've read through this thread and I'm sorry, but the amount of pure <b>RAGE</b> this has sparked in me.... Maybe it's becaue I have a very mild case of CF, or I try to live my life apart from it, but shame on you for over-reacting. Yes, I said it. SHAME on you. Do you even KNOW what I would...
