First, genetic testing, and as soon as possible. It's always best to know what you're dealing with. Second, marriage counselling if she wants it. Next, the mother should come up with what she thinks her best options are. Does she even WANT another child? Does she want to involve her...

Heh, which U of M? I ask because we go to U of Minnesota.

I agree with the other posters that said it's probably not the sex of the doctor, but the doctor himself that you don't like. The only doctor I'm personally sex-squeamish on is my OB/Gyn - I just can't wrap my little brain around having a male. As far as my boyfriend's CF doctor goes... he was...

<blockquote>Quote<br><hr><i>Originally posted by: <b>Anonymous</b></i><br>i wont let my g.f take tobi, i dotn like wut it does to her<hr></blockquote> You won't <i>LET</i> her take Tobi? Exactly who are you that you think you know more than the doctors that precribed it to keep her healthy. It...

FVC - Forced Vital Capacity. This one is important. FEV1 - Forced Expiratory volume in 1 second. This one is important. FEF - Well, the CF doc doesn't look at these. When he looks at Jeremy's numbers it's the top two he looks at. From what I understand the FEF can vary with how you blow -...

My boyfriend has CF. I help him remember his meds. I fill his pill boxes every week. When we go on vacations, I pack up all the meds/equipment he needs. I keep track of what meds we need to order. We exercise together. I'll sit with him while he does his Vest if he doesn't want to play on...

People who do not believe in god are not "poor lost souls" and it is amazingly offensive to be spoken down to in such a way. Understand. I am an atheist. Therefore I do not believe in any god/gods/goddess/goddesses. I am a well adjusted individual. I do not believe that praying will magically...

My boyfriend has CF, and when he was on home IVs in March, we found it helpful to have a second person there to double check to make sure everything is done in the right order, and that none of the sterile equipment has been handled, all that stuff. Also, we prepared saline and heparin syringes...

If it's not silver, then why take it? Also. Looking at the EPA report, from your website even, (http://www.silvermedicine.org/safety.html), I would stay as far from this substance as possible. Look at the studies on the anti-bacterial effects, they are done in petri dishes, not in people...

Dea, have you ever looked into using time-release niacin to help with the Raynaud's? My father has lupus, and it helps him a lot. My aunt has Raynaud's, and it helps her too. It helps with circulation to the hands/feet.

<blockquote><hr><i>Originally posted by: <b>AbsintheSorrow</b></i> I think they taste disgusting. It's like this fake banana flavor. Real gross. But if you can swallow them whole, it's good for you, so it's a good idea.<hr></blockquote> My boyfriend completely agrees with you about the...

To nobody@nowhere.com who was talking about the glyconutrients: Would this be the same "god" that 'created' the mutated genes for CF? Would this be the same "god" that placed, in NATURE, pseudomonas and all those other bacteria that breed in the lungs? If we were to just leave it up to your...

I tend to agree with Emily - this is something he should already know about. If he's old enough to be talking about having kids, he should be old enough to know about the problems he has a better than 98% chance of having. It's far better to know (and get tested) as soon as possible than be...

My guy has started having some adverse reactions to the inhaled tobi (ringing in the ears) - so he dropped to one dose/day. Doctor's advice was that he would rather it be twice/day, but if that causes problems, one/day is better than not at all.
