    What do you think? ...for WinAce

    I haven't taken Michael Moore seriously ever since he left out a key part of Condoleeza Rice's statement about "Saddam and 9/11 being linked" which completely reversed its meaning, actually being one of the rare times an administration official was <i>distancing themselves</i> from claiming Iraq...

    What do you think? ...for WinAce

    Fox News is Satan incarnate. But I'm at a stage in my life where I'm willing to make a deal with the devil, so it's okay. =)

    Medication in America

    Find some chick with a good job (with decent health benefits) and marry her. Sorta like the CF version of what some people do for the citizenship. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

    Raleigh's biggest paper did a story on me

    Ugh. I had to go to the emergency room again. Hospitalized. Tres suck. On the bright side, something my sweetie did yesterday totally cheered me up, and I detail it at my latest blog entry, "<a href=http://www.save-allan.org/wpblog/?p=18>If love can conquer this, it can, indeed, conquer...

    Raleigh's biggest paper did a story on me

    Both (spelled All<i>a</i>n, though). Richard is my first name, Allan is my middle one, and I use the latter almost exclusively online. Do you think they'd write you off <i>post-transplant</i>, too? That's pretty sick. if true. I can at least understand, in principle, wanting to prioritize...

    where are the HIP diseased folks.

    where are the HIP diseased folks.

    Also, if you're looking for "hip diseased" folks, why are you on this forum, as opposed to, say, one for geriatrics? </bad pun>

    Has anyone with b.cepacia tried H.S.?

    Haven't experienced that in a while, with either of them. But it's been intermittent with me (the shakiness will leave for a couple of months, then recur, then vanish just as mysteriously) so I'm fully expecting a comeback.

    Has anyone with b.cepacia tried H.S.?

    Yeah, I am. I balked at the idea of adding yet another nebulizer (to replace the inhaler) but since these two are consolidated into one, what the hey.

    Has anyone with b.cepacia tried H.S.?

    You're welcome! I'm using 10% HS mixed with an an ampule of Albuterol (that is, in turn, already pre-mixed with lower-concentration saline). According to my doctors, that takes the average salinity of the solution down to 7%, which is close to what the researchers did their studies with...

    laughter - the best medicine - and it might help clean out your lungs while you're at it!

    RE: laughter - the best medicine - and it might help clean out your lungs while you're at it! My doc ordered 20 blood tests (I kid you not, everything from white blood cell counts to, apparently, syphylis testing??). When the nurse got out those vials and labels, as well as the biggest...

    any other health insurance with free quote? this might help!

    Insurance companies are scum, indeed. They're arguably worse than the tobacco companies. At least those provide something which people find enjoyable! Insurance will look to rip you off on any clause, any technicality, any unspoken assumption that they'll claim you "should have known about" when...

    Has anyone with b.cepacia tried H.S.?

    I have B. cepacia and use it. It's the only treatment that I can instantly tell is working. After that, the sheer amount of liquefied crap that I can cough out is impressive. However, it's pretty irritating (wasn't the first times I used it, but I've been increasingly noticing that effect), so...

    Transplant Fundraising

    I've only been dealing with COTA officially for a few days, and I'm quite impressed. They got everything set up as soon as I faxed some forms. Considering they do all that (provide a front end for credit card contributions, tax-deductible donations) without even touching your fundraising--they...
