I'd want to go to some of the gardens - Jeremy and I are getting married in a Japanese Garden, and I'd love to see some of the "real deal" -Michelle

About Reliv - I believe you should talk with HollyCatheryn. She's on this forum and has a <a target=new class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.geocities.com/MurrensNatureMama">website.</a>

<a target=new class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.uwnews.org/article.asp?articleID=3878">An article</a> about fine particulates and adverse efffects on people with CF. Personally, I'm filing this in the "Well, big freakin' duh" category (Otherwise known as the "No s$%#, really?"...

1998 Chevrolet S10 (light pickup truck). I just had it to the body shop for repairs (stupid Minnesota winter and road salting causes rust) - only to get rear ended less than a week later... my truck will be back to the shop on Monday. Why a truck for me? When I was little my parents had a...

Much, much luck to you and Mark! Hopefully I'll make one of these posts in the future. -Michelle

I am also amazing curious... I wanna see!

Ahhh, this reminded me of a song - Perhaps Love (song and lyrics by John Denver). Perhaps love is like a resting place A shelter from the storm It exists to give you comfort It is there to keep you warm And in those times of trouble When you are most alone The memory of love will bring you home...

I really, really couldn't stop myself. From my own perspective -I have the whole asthma deal going on. I stopped visiting my grandmother a few years ago. Even though she wouldn't smoke around me - the lingering residue starts to shut down my breathing, and that's just not good. Smoke effects...

*Gets on high horse, sprays on the flame retardant* Looby - You're this close to getting the "If you really loved her and cared about your daughter's health - you'd quit." statement. Wait, no... You DO get that statement, since you are so obviously unaware of the dangers of your smoking (be it...

Lowes, Menards, or at last resort... Home Depot. Ack, I'm sorry to hear that the prognosis isn't so great. However, at least you know what's wrong and know it can be treated (even if the treatment sucks). -Michelle

I'm not a CF spouse yet... we're getting married in August. There are a few spouses/SOs on the boards (you might try looking at the adults board as well). -Michelle

<blockquote>Quote<br><hr><i>Originally posted by: <b>Anonymous</b></i><br>No reason to be mean to her.<hr></blockquote> Not to be petty - but she started it by inferring that we're a bunch of whine-y-pants. We never said she couldn't have an opinion. Look - she can have an opinion. That...

This is a place people come to vent. If you're just going to get up on your high horse and say "It could be worse, be thankful that blah blah blah blah.", you are of no help here and obviously fail to grasp the concept of a support forum. Right now, the worst thing happening to that person is...

Tiffany's mom - you may want to check out the "Problem with Parents who smoke" thread in the Families forum.

<i>The pancreas shows fatty replacement, fibrosis and a reduction in the number and function of secretory cells. These include the ß-cells within the islets of Langerhans which produce insulin. These changes are likely to result from obstruction of pancreatic ducts by abnormal, thick secretions...

There are thousands of CF mutations. Is it likely she has two of them? I don't know. It's not something there are statistics for. A lack of a family history of CF doesn't rule it out. As I'm sure a lot of people on this site can tell you - they (or their child) was the first in the family...

I'm going to sit squarely in the "You're seriously over-reacting" camp. A) It's not your life. B) They are getting MARRIED, not setting up a breeding camp. Chill. C) I'm sure that given the situation, they will WANT to be tested eventually. You don't need to be so freakin' pushy. D) To...

We have the most awesome doctor (Dunitz at the U of MN clinic). He's on hospital rotation, but he made time to see Jeremy in clinic. Jeremy had been in two weeks ago and his numbers were down, so antibiotics, more vest, and a clinic in two weeks (today). Plus, Dunitz made me a printout of his...

65rosessamurai - they ship internationally, however, I have no idea what it would cost. <a target=new class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.coffeetraders.com/">Montana Coffee Traders</a> It's the most evil (in a good way) place to shop in person. It all smells so darn good. I...
