    Meds and Pregnancy

    I am on albuterol, advair, and enzymes. Albuterol given at extrememly high doses to lab rats did produce a cleft palate, but my doc said that he has never seen that in all of his Cf and asthma patients. I am pretty sure I used albuterol with my son as well. I am also pretty sure from the...

    Most of my tummyches from missing enzymes are gas related and I often find gas X does the trick. As an adult, however, I have learned it ain't worth it to miss enzymes...might be a lesson your child will learn on her own. I also have used pepto and other meds like that for CF. No, overall we...

    Do you go into the hospital 3-4 times a year even if your feeling well?

    I have never been in the hospital and honestly I can't see going if I was not sick. I have never been on IVs either, bu-ut, I have been thinking about checking into a more serious antibiotic reginme once my baby is born and/or done nursing, as I just got diagnoised with PA and can feel it being...

    Ear Infections

    I got them until I was about 16-18ish - a lot longer than most kids do. I haven't had an ear infection in at least 10 years though.

    How do I stop coughing?

    As Blindhearted said above , I alwasy get the suppressant and expectorant combo when I need something - and as a rule suppressants are a no no, but sometimes I find you gotta do what you gotta do.
