    Avian Flu, Bird Flu, H5N1

    Feeding Tubes

    If it's just a suggestion, maybe give it a semster at college and see whta happens? College can be hard on the body as you'll probably eat less healhty, stay up later and be harder on your body in general...so you'd have to be quite disciplined with your healthcare, which is maybe why the doc...

    boy did I need you guys today!

    Of all the days for the site to be down...argh! If you read my blog, you might know that I haven't been feeling well. I went to the clinic Friday, and as I already knew, he diagnosed a sinus infection gone upper respiratory...and gave me augmentin. In the back of my mind I vaguely felt that...

    mycobacterium solution

    Cool! I have never inhaled colloidal silver, but I do use it in lieu of an antibiotic sometimes and have found good results - there are mixed messages about colooidal silver, but my understanding is if you get the REAL thing (there are some out there that are man-made...I'll have to find a link...

    Controversial Topic

    Interesting topic. You certainly don't offend me - I am not for animal testing either, for cosmetics anyway - but I have read some really great arguments that show the pros of animal testing stating Cf as a great representation of why it is necessary. I guess I never thought much about it - and...

    Flu & Pneumonia Shots

    I do not get flu shots (I'm the one with CF) nor does anyone in my family. I am also a school teacher and my son is in kindergarten and daycare, so I am exposed to a ton of bugs everyday. I have had the flu only one time in my whole life, when I was 14 and that was back when my mom still made...

    why do peeps with cf look younger

    I am almost 29 and i just stoppd getting carded - I hated looking young as a kid - people always thought my little brother (4 years younger!) was the older one.

    Pain Meds and Sleep Meds

    I have the same problem feling like my doc will think that I am just out for a high (and to be honest, I quite enjoy my rx pills - but by no means do I abuse them). I have finally gotten to the point where if I need something I just ask. Rarely have they said no if I seem informed about the...

    A Question for Moms with CF

    I know HollyCatherine and I both breastfed, and as stated before, she has a lot fo good info on her site. I'm not sure what meds you're on, but usually if you can take it in pregnancy, you can breastfeed with it as well. I highly recommend breastfeeding if you can. I am also pregnant with my...

    Moms with CF

    I do echo what everyone has said - there are many roads to motherhood, and by the time your daughter is ready to think babies, medical treatment will surely have progressed. It's so hard to be a parent and hear your child's dreams when you realize some of them may or may not come true - for...

    To those who DID get pregnant with CF....

    With my son, I got pregnant the first time, no trying involved. I was 21. this baby took 15 months and fertility drugs and and intrauterine insemination. Now, I can say two things on that - 1, my stepmom is an OBGYN, so when i got annoyed with how long "trying" was taking, I asked for the...

    Anyone for a new cup of tea?

    Right now I am drinking Mother-to-Be yogi tea, for obvious reasons <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> It has spearamint, red rasberrry, and a couple other hebs I can't remember right off. However, I absolutely LOVE yogi tea's Egyptian Licorice and a licorice tea by...
