This is just me but....
I bleed for no reason at all. My dr's used to put me on IV's everytime I would bleed. They finally listened to me and came to the realization that blood does not equal infection in my body. I bleed because I'm a bleeder.

I hope you have the same situation and you're not dealing with illness all the time...although blood is frequently an indicator of something being 'wrong' in your chest. For me, I don't fit that category.

Either way....fell better!!!!

The bleeds have decreased greatly so now I think i may be coughing up like a table spoon of blood but I have no clue about what bugs i culture and am just hoping i can shrink this fungus ball. How long did u have to take the VFEND for im on it now</end quote></div>
I am still on it and the Dr. says i probably will be on it for life to keep the fungus ball from growing.
I hoped to shrink it as well, but am hearing more and more that they usually do not shrink and just stay where they are especially if they are in a cavity in the lung which is where mine is.
I have read about one girl with cf who got hers to shrink so it isn't hopeless.
