    showering with a port

    Hi all, I got a port in July, and I am now on IV meds for the first time since then. I had never really thought about needing to cover it up in the shower when it is accessed. Right now, I am just covering it with plastic. I was wondering if anyone had any other ideas. Thanks!

    Getting a new vest

    I still have the old Vest. About 2 years ago, when I switched insurance, I tried (with Aetna) to get a new Vest. I am not sure why, but Hill-Rom said to get the script written for an "upgrade" to the new model. Aetna wasn't the insurance co that paid for the first vest, so they were none the...

    Desensitization?

    Hi Sonia, I recently did a desensitization to Zosyn (which wasn't successful, but that's a whole other story). At the hospital I go to, all desensitizations take place in the ICU, so I spent a night there. Then, every 15 mins, I was given slightly increasing amounts of Zosyn until I was getting...

    Sweat test results - Very Frustrated - Vent

    Paige, I am sorry to hear that this process have been so drawn out for your family. Where the last two sweat tests down at a hospital that has a CF center? Local hospitals that do not do sweat tests often have been known to give false positives. How old is your little guy? Many states do...
