HEy! Mornings are the worst for me. WHen I wake up, my lower lobes are very tight and constricted. I feel like I have a belt tied around my lower ribs. I'm usually very, very tired and groggy! It takes me quite a few minutes to get in the groove of getting going. Anyone else feel Yuckie when they get up and have similar issues? Anyone know whY? And, my husband is a morning person so it does make my symptoms seem so much more apparent ;-)!!!!

I was just asking on the chat blog about tightness in the lower chest. I use Advair and was wondering if there were any other recommendations for that. Docs can't hear anything when I get that tightness and my PFT's go down a little. It sucks. I love steroids for that but you can't be on oral steroids all the time. I hope you get some good answeres<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> Sorry, I don't have ny for you.

Hey Skye, do you use the Advair disk or the HFA pufffer? Just until two weeks ago I had no idea they made Advair puffers! I am liking it a lot because I can't suck the meds very deep into my lungs using the disks, but the extra propulsion of the puffer helps a little. Not sure if it is enough to reach really deep, but I can tell it does get just a little farther.

I am not a morning person either. I feel like I have to drag myself out of bed just to get started. I usually dont get up until after lunch time since I'm not working. I can stay up all night. My internal clock is totally backwards from what it should be. I'm always feeling groggy. I know I do get restful sleep, but that is part of another health problem of mine, not CF. I'm usually slightly nausea in the morning. I rarely eat breakfast. When I wake up, my lungs feel fuller. I guess cause everything gets settled from not moving all night (I stay in one position all night once I'm asleep). I dont talk much in the morning before a treatment because of the way my lungs feel. I know if I talk too much, I will go into a coughing fit. My right lung collapsed last April, and ever since then, when I wake up in the morning that lung seems to feel stiff. When I take a treatment it relaxes and feels better. Do you get relief from the tightness when you do a treatment? If not, you need to meantion it to your doctor.
