I was just at the cf clinic with my two year old son and the doc wants to put him on pulozyme. I was wondering if anybody else has dealt with it and how well has it worked? My son needs to gain three pounds so if anybody has any ideas I would appreciate it He is currently on benecalorie and scandishake. But he doesnt always want to eat! Feel free to email me at blueyes49659@yahoo.comthanksmom to son w/cf

Ahh yes. I'm a 20/f w/CF. I've been on Pulmozyme since it first came out. I think... 11 years ago? I think I was 9, I forget. Anyhow, I've been taking it once a day every day for 11-some-odd years now. I love it. I mean, obviously, it's a pain in the ass to do the stuff every single day, but it's been a huge huge help to me. If I skip a day (I take it at night), I can tell the very next morning when I wake up, and I pay for skipping it all day. I don't know exactly what it does for me, except that I know I feel much lower without it, and that I believe my PFTs are much better on it. Though a pain in the ass sometimes, I'd definitely be a Pulmozyme supporter. It's good stuff. Feel free to ask me further on it. I've literally been on it since damn near the day it was approved. My pulmonologist jumped at the chance the second it was available. Hope I was of help. -Emily
