everytime I go in, unless I'm not in the mood <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0"> and then I just sneak out without doing it. why do i do that? who knows!
My clinic wants one every time I'm there... though if I don't cough it up they threaten throat swab .... I usually reply with I don't think so and if you want to try call in some orderlies ...... they haven't tried the swab yet..... lol
My doctor only does them when I go into the hospital which is once a year right now. Word of advice.....Get them done and go to clinic every 3 months at least due to the fact you will need the evidence if you should ever decide to appy for Social Security.
Usually I have to ask to have one done. The only exception is when I need IV's and a lot of times I've already been on IVs for approx a week before they get results back<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif" border="0">
I used to never get one till i got to be about in my late 20's, then i got one here and there when they requested it. Now that i have b.cepacia it is usually every time i go to clinic ( about every 3 months)
CFF guidelines require the accredited centers to do it every 3 months which is a good reason why many CFers go for a checkup that often. I use to do annual ones until my health went down. Now I cant go more than a month, but if I get anymore improvement in my weight/pfts than I will have longer time inbetween. Right now I am at 2 weeks inbetween.
