Completely Frustrated

[thefrogprincess]

I know you are stating your opinion and I respect your right to have one and express it. But I am a little insulted an your obvious feeling that I am making a wrong decision in my own health care. Believe it or not, I have considered IVs, and I am very educated on CF and its treatments. I took it upon myself to learn all of my options because sometimes docs will try to persuade you to what they think is best without presenting other choices. I am the only one who knows what's best for me, from what to hsve for luch to what I want done about my teeth and when to start IVs. I am done with this post because I don't need to defend my decision to anyone.

So jessi, are you wanting the teeth pulled and implants then? Or are you wanting them pulled and someting like dentures???

I can understand on the root canal, mine was uncomfortable but I dont' remember being in pain for that long. If I had been, I would feel the same way you do in not wanting to consider it again.

whoa. i stated twice that i just care about your health. and my last post did state that I realize every CFer is different.

no where did I say that what u were doing was wrong? i never said you were wrong. no where.

but really - if you're going to post something on the boards (in a post or in a sig) - you are going to open yourself up to questions.

i really had never heard of anyone before celebrating not being on IV's and having 60% FEV1's. that's why i respectfully asked. and i clearly stated that i just had an interest in what your status was and that i cared about you as a fellow cfer.

i had zero intention of upsetting you.
