One other comment about Social Security and State Assistance through Welfare: Lisa, I have read your posting about the three requirements to get on Disabilty. I didn't know them. But what I wanted to say and forgot to earlier is that I am furious, in general, with any of the state or federal...

My doctors suggested here in Pennsylvania that I try it. However, the CF Pharmacy wants $111.00 a month for the 3% and 10% solutions. Which I still have to mix to get the 7% solution. My insurance would not cover it. I think the price is CRAZY for STERILE SALINE. Even if you can get it...

Hey Sonia, I have those days too. They really fustrate me. I'm not saying this to brag, but I've been off all oral antibiotics since April 2005. No hospitalizations for 2 years, and I STILL have those days. I just reduce the intensity of my workout and hope that tomorrow will be better...

Oh and Kelly, You don't just have to run. Hike again. Rock climb again. Mix it up a bit. Mixing it up will keep you going even on the worst days. Jennifer 24 w/CF

Hi Kelly, Sorry, I haven't responded earlier to your question. I posted my message and never really checked back until now. I agree that walking is better than nothing but think about this for a minute. Your married like me. You get up, help your husband off to work, cook, clean, maybe take...

Hi Lauren, I was on the pill for 8 years to keep an ovarian cyst from forming on my left ovary. I first got one when I was 13. Then, I ended going on and off of the pill for another 2 years until I ended up staying on it. I hated being on the pill. Imagine being 13, 14, 15 and having to sit...

Hi Christian, I have been anemic since I was 12 years old with the Cystic Fibrosis. I have to take Slow FE one tablet everyday. Not to gross you out, but I became anemic once I got my monthly cycles. Since I am very regular and always have been, my iron was low about 2 weeks out of every...

Hey, that really ticks me off too. I think there are two kinds of smokers, though. Those that are respectful and considerate not to smoke around other people, especially if they have medical issues. And those that don't give a s***. Those are the kind that I can't stand. Jennifer 24 w/CF

Hi Kate, Good luck with your sinus surgery. I'm sure you'll be fine. I had 3 sinus surgeries in the past 6 years. If I may ask, what nasal sprays or irrigations are you using if any? What I found to really help me is Neil Med's Sinus Rinse. After my third surgery, my doctor recommended it...
