    Meropenum

    I was on it before, but I don' t remember how well it worked. I haven't been on it since, so maybe it didn't work that well! I didn't have any reactions or side effects from it, though. For me, nothing seems to work better than the Tobra and Fortaz combo!

    I'm new here

    Thats where I go, too! I used to see Dr. Nussbaum (loved him!) and I should see Dr. Riker now but he doesn't take my insurance. So now I go to Dr. Tanios (another great guy) who is a pulmonologist but not with the clinic. He collaborates with Riker about me, and he even wrote a letter to my...

    What do you do when gym class rolls around?

    Does your school offer other forms of Phys. Ed? When I was in high school I took weight training instead of normal PE. There were only a few other girls, and the rest were all football players and other jocks. We still had to run 1/2 mile once a week, which was hard for me, but my teacher...

    Traveling

    You do not need to bring the vest with you, and if yours is anything like mine, you wouldn't want to because it weighs a ton!! If you do not have a flutter or an acapella, ask your CF center if they have any they can give you. I don't really use the flutter anymore, but I like the acapella...

    Craving for Coke & getting sick from coughing

    Ditto what Emily said about throwing up....About the Coke thing - is it specifically coke or sweet stuff in general and you just choose coke? I have diabetes as well and when my sugar is low I crave sweets. More specifically though, I crave cereal...it's the weirdest thing!

    need some advice...

    I am in constant battle with myself over this issue. I tell myself over and over that I am not sick enough for IV's, then I end up being so sick that I end up in the hospital when I could've just done home IV's. It sounds to me like you should go back on them if you can't live your life like...

    coughing=pee LoL

    Brandi, I have this problem ALL THE TIME! Whenever I cough too hard, I pee my pants - not so much with sneezing. In fact it's kind of routine for me now that when I come up the stairs to my apartment, I walk right over to the sink because I know I'm going to cough, pee my pants, and...

    PLEASE HELP ME :(

    You've come to the right place for support! The fact that you know your daughter has this now is great, although it may not seem that way. You will be much more prepared and knowledgable when she finally arrives! Not to mention that you can start treatments on her immediately. There are so...
