Didn't read it all, but WE ARE ALL ORPHANS! And yes, the drug companies are indeed a bunch of whores!

I personally want a little CF mouse that will sit on my shoulder like a parrot, that will do his little aresols while I do mine, and we both cough up lung oysters together. Imagine a CF mouse fart? Probably pretty gnarly.

Pamela Davis, said of cystic fibrosis : "We're almost at the point of changing this from a fatal disease to a nuisance."

I dont know about you guys....but my CF bypassed "nuisance" a long time ago...

I believe we are what they call the "grandfather clause" where basically all the new stuff goes to the people coming up in life... we're just left to our old devices....

I've been told that as well - that we are the "grandfather clause" - by my doc. The good thing about this for me anyway, is that because of this - I am on the old school insurance plan that the newly diagnosed CFer's cannot get on anymore because of changes that were made about 10 years ago. Because I got on when I did - all of my meds are covered by default.
