This form of permanent birth control was brought to my attention. Just curious if anyone has had it done. It is to be less invasive than a tubal ligation, but the only research is out two years. Thanks.

I have been in the hospital probably 7 times, each time was something really wrong, collapsed lung, issues from surgery from collapsed lung, lung bleed - you get the picture, as in I didn't have a choice. But given the choice I avoid it at all costs. I am curious how you all cope with being in...

Tuesday we meet with the doctors in reproductive endocrinology. After accepting that being pregnant is not a wise choice we have spent the last 5 months trying to deal with the sadness of that. We came away from the appointment hopeful, we were there nearly two hours for our consult. We have...

I posted this in the adult section also, but thought maybe some parents with CF children might have some info. My husband and I are traveling from MN to Portland oregon via car in late April. I am used to doing my vest three times a day and with the amount of sitting I will be doing I think it...

My husband and I are traveling from MN to Portland oregon via car in late April. I am used to doing my vest three times a day and with the amount of sitting I will be doing I think it is important to keep up on what works for me. I will likely use the acapella just as I sit and I have...

Long story short. The day after Christmas I fell two days later my chest hurt (burned) when coughing, and at the same time my lungs were feeling junky - diagnosis - pneumonia with pleuritic pain. Fast forward three weeks, having been on IVs Tobra and Ceftaz I was feeling some better, able to...

Seems to be a lot of questions about pain lately, I was wondering if people experience pain with mucus plugs. I have been in ridiculous pain for the last four days, every time I do my vest and cough its like being stabbed. I went for an xray today and nothing. I am on Cipro and TOBI for the past...

So, I have a question about reading FEV1. The printout says 35% then there is the post dilator (albuterol) it says +12%, does this mean that the 35% is before the albuterol but post albuterol the number is 47%, or is that 35% after dilator? How does that work. Also, I just bought a super cool...

I was given the news this week that my FEV1 is too low to consider pregnancy. It isn't a matter of proving anyone wrong at this point, which I have always loved to do but my FEV1 is 35%pre albuterol 45% post albuterol, from what I understand. So my number is too low, can I get that up -...

I have been using the same compressor for nebs since about 1995. I have since purchased two others, one for travel and one when I was in college, so I could leave on at school and have one at home. The reason I use the old one is becuase it is quieter then my newer one. But I got to thinking is...

From what I understand the GSH Cur Caps have NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine) in them, and I found reference to the NAC affecting the liver. My question is I am on a maintenance daily dosing of Itraconazole, which is broken down in the liver, does anyone else take Itra and NAC, or know if there might be...

Does anyone, or has anyone out there had problems getting Albuterol (for neb) covered under medicare part D? Apparently CF doesn't qualify as having a need for Albuterol according to Medicare. Last year it was accepted on second appeal, but this year they won't cover it at all. I get so...

I ask this in this section as I figured not everyone who has had children checks the pregnancy section. So, has anyone who has been pregnant also been one to cough up blood. We are looking to start a family and right now that seems to be the biggest issue. I had 7 coils put in last year, after...

I am not new to the site but i read more than I post. My husband and I have been married for 2 1/2 years, and are thinking about starting a family. I guess I would like to know how all of you who decided to have babies made that final decision to go through with it. I have heard many positive...

Hey all - I have been searching the internet for info on this and thought I should check with those who might know what I am talking about. Has anyone been on IV Cipro and had numbness or tingling (like when your foot falls asleep from sitting on it)? I have been on IV Cipro for two weeks, and...

So, I have wanted to go off the patch for two years - I feel sometimes that the hormones in it have affected my moods. Course women are typically moody but I wasn't always like this. So I am searching out non-hormonal options. But of course I like the spontinaiety of being on the patch - no need...

Hi all! It has been ages since I posted anything but I knew right where to come for expert advice. I am flying to North Carolina from MN in March. I have the Vest, model 104 in the duffle, plus all my meds. I am wondering how flying is with the Vest. Any special requirements, letters, problems...

I am getting married July 8, and we will then leave for our honeymoon - the tough part is deciding where to go. In any case we will be flying and I am curious how it has gone for those of you who have flown with the vest ---- and all the medication. I know some travel without the vest but being...

I find that I don' t have the energy when it comes to exercise. I am always hungry! I can't eat before exercising because I will cough and it will all come back up, but if I don't I won't have the energy to make it an efficient workout. I probably don't eat well but how do I fix this. What do...
