Hi Everyone, I really need some support right now so I turn to the people that would understand the most. My husband and I had decided a month ago to consider the fost-adopt program instead of getting all stressed out about pregnancy. My health is very good, but after a year of trying, we...

Hi, My name is Jennifer, and I'm 24 nearly 25 with CF. I wish you the best of luck with your pregnancy or potential pregnancy. Pregnancy is a hot topic here. I think it's great that you are meeting with a genetic couselor and may undergo a CVS. I admire you for trying to be informed. I...

The whole thing is sad and sickening. I live 1 hour away from the amish schoolhouse. These sex offenders are beyond help. They are sick - really, really sick. I think they should all be in an institution. Let them play with each other. As far as the interview, I missed that - thank gosh...

Hi Everyone, I am very sorry in advance for how negative what I am about to say is going to come across, but I have CF and this is my viewpoint. Please do not read this if you get upset easily. I feel that fundraising is great for diseases and disorders if you only want further treatments. I...

Hi, I'm sorry to hear about your past relationship. I was in a similar situation a few years ago. I am a 24-year-old female with CF. I started dating when I was 16, which was stupid. See I felt like I was always on a "timeline". I had to "rush" everything. I wanted more than anything to...

Hey, that was pretty good. I was positive that I got every single one right - but nope. That's pretty cool!!! Jenny 24 w/CF

My husband and I are actively trying to conceive. However when I was 18, my parents (mostly mother) was dead set to have my tubes tied. Even though I had mild CF, 'she' felt there was too much risk if I ever tried in the future. I was 18 so she thought that she could make up my mind for me...

Hi, Medicare Part B paid for my Pulmozyme. I didn't have any copay or anything. No problems or hassles. Good luck! Jenny 24 w/CF

Hi Jane, Monistat stopped working for me long ago. I'm immune to it. Diflucan doesn't work anymore either. I don't get yeast infections anymore, but when I did, I was placed on a heavy-duty cream for 10 days straight. Not to be gross, but yes the yogurt to cleanse the area was "nice". I...

I would recommend taking ant-yeast supplements that contain Lactobacillus Acidophilus and Lactobacillus Rhamnosus. There are many different brands out there but make sure it is refrigerated to maintain maximum strength. They come in capsule form and you take 2 a day on an empty stomach. That...

Hi, I am right now experiencing a very similar situation. I was hospitalized in June and July 2006 for my CF. During those admissions, I accumulated 2,000 in medical bills. This is the amount because I have my husband's insurance. Otherwise, it would be much higher. I am married, on Social...

Hi Mel, WOW!!!! Great numbers. I am 24 w/CF. My FEV1 is now around the low 80's, and I'm also considered mild CF. I think mine were in the 90's in my teens. You are doing really well. Don't get too discouraged about your numbers. They are great. You're doing all your treatments and...

Hi Everyone, I was taken off of these meds about 6 months ago. They are just sitting in drawer wasting away. Can anyone use these? They are free. Please IM me or post on thread. Serevent Diskus 50 mcg (EXP: 09/2006) Serevent Diskus 50 mcg (EXP: 09/2006) ******* THIS ONE IS SLIGHTLY...

Hi Alisha, Your PFT's may go down while pregnant. Mine probably will too. I won't be able to run or do as much exercising as now. That's why I'm running for now to get a good head start. My doctor said that after the pregnancy they will go back up, though. Honestly, though, we started...

I've been taking it twice a day for about 10 years now. I feel a real difference if I only take it once a day or not at all. In Feb., I tried to cut down to once a day. I started to only take it in the morning. Well, at night I would do all my regular meds and chest therapy (except the...

Hi Fred, I have mild cirrhosis. I am currently 24, but I've had it since I was about 14. It was explained to me by my doctors, that I got it from too many IV therapy rounds in too close of a period. I never noticed it or had any problems. My doctors felt upon exam that my liver was...
