    Question for Spouses

    Note to self. Stick to CF boards for WS(CF) support - it's ten million times better. *hugs to Allie*

    HERE WE GO---UPDATED AND SAD :(

    At this point - they would be putting your health in serious question by trying to deny your continued treatment. Maybe I'm just a crazy person - but I don't see how that can be legal.

    Question for Spouses

    That's absolutely horrible. "Miss Needs Love" Someone needs to tell that nit that love is not cheating on your spouse - no matter what.

    Is this Legal????

    Do you have a disability or discrimination office at your school? I would be seriously tempted to make waves. At this point, with the nursing director against you - you are already screwed. If she is going to be grading you and she wants you out... I would bet that she will *subjectively*...

    Questions for answers . . .

    Re: twins. Identical twins (or higher order multiple). Since they have the same genetic makeup - it's the same odds as a single birth - one in four (the twins will either both have CF (25%), both be carriers (of the same gene - 50%), or both carry no CF gene at all (25%)) Non-identical twins...

    PMS RELIEF

    I'm not a CFer - but... I'm on Seasonale and it's absolutely wonderful. I don't know if it has made my cramps (and other crappy period related issues) less when I have them... but having them 4 times a year instead of 13 is a wonderful thing. (Since we all know I'm not using BC to prevent...

    Google Alerts A MUST

    Yahoo news alerts are good as well. Sometimes I'll get an article on one and not the other.

    Has Anyone Ever Tried A Saltwater Mist?

    Mel - the Broncho Saline that you use to dilute other medications is normal (0.9%) saline. The hospital pharmacy at Fairview (U of MN CF clinic) mixes our 5% solution for us.

    Has Anyone Ever Tried A Saltwater Mist?

    Yes, these articles are talking about hypertonic saline. Just a quick lesson... Isotonic or normal saline is the concentration found in the body (0.9%). Hypertonic saline is a salt solution that is at a higher concentration than that is found in the body. The percentages usually talked about...

    ready for kidergarten??

    I have to agree with the previous poster. Holding back a child mentally is one of the worst things you can do. "Easy" school is a very, very bad thing. It was easy for me and I absolutely hated going. I already knew the stuff they were going to 'teach' me and I got very bored. At that point...

    Hypertonic Saline

    It's working well for Jeremy - he's on 5 ml of 5%. If you search the forum, you'll find a lot of posts about HS
