    Pain and tingling in arm post PICC

    Well went to the ER yesterday and found out it was due to a blood clot in my brachial vein. Was put on lovenox injections (anticoagulant) to help dissolve it. The blood clot was totally occluding the vein, hence all of the pain. The fun never ends! :-p Jen 41 w/CF

    Good FEV 1s and bronchiectasis

    I have bronchiectasis in my right upper lobe, lingula, and left lower lobe. Mine has been classified as moderate. I often get pain in my right upper lobe that flares up and starts to throb and then seems to wax and wane for a day or two, but not really what I would classify as "tightness". My...

    Xopenex...

    Hi everyone, I was wondering if any of you use nebulized xopenex?? If so, do you like it and is it less "jittery" than albuterol?? Both my son and I are going to start it today. Thanks!! Jen 36 w/cf Mom to 4, one w/cf (just diagnosed, age 12)
