My two kids both have the S1235R mutation.

Just sent you a message.

Both of my kids have high sweat tests, yet only 1 identified mutation. Both carry a CRMS dx, but are treated as if it is CF. They both use the vest, neb hyper sal, DS is on super long courses of antibiotics, they are seen in clinic every 3 months, and are on precautions at our clinic. Their lung...

We are on the south shore of MA as well, but are right on the beach. Hope you guys are ok.

Thanks. Hill Rom called yesterday, and they are delivering them on Friday, but insurance has not approved it yet. She told me that they can always come back and get it if insurance won't cover it, but fingers are crossed that they will. Since the kids just have a CRMS dx, I am not sure.

Both of my kids carry the CRMS dx. Both have had borderline sweat tests - as high as 59, but only have 1 mutation. After years of doing nothing, they are now being treated as if they have CF. We are doing CPT, nebs, and waiting on insurance to approve the vest.

Our CF clinic put the request into insurance about a month ago. I was just wondering how long it took for most people to hear back?

Thank you everyone. We have an appointment for a second opinion next week. I will let you know what happens.

Thanks guys. I am very frustrated. See, the problem is, I have no idea where to take them for a second opinion. We live in Boston, and where we go is where everyone goes. Our doctor today said that he had discussed their cases with a group, so I am assumming that even if we saw another doctor...

DD is 7. She has had stuff going on since birth. She spent most of the first two years on TPN since she was unable to absorb anything through her gut. She gets pnuemonia a few tims a year. She cultured staph when she was bronched. She has had recurrent ear infections - on her 6th set of tubes...

From atypical CF to CRMS. We were at clinic today, and the doc said that although he was changing the dx., he was not changing anything else, and was still keeping them on precautions for everything. He did say that if they culture any of the main cf bugs, that they will change it to CF, but for...
