Nurse Case Manager through the ins.company
Hi everyone, I changed to United Healthcare through my husband's employer in January.  Yesterday I got a letter from a Nurse Case Manager saying she had been assigned to my case and is available to help me "manage my disease". Ha.  It also said she has been trying to reach me by phone, which she hasn't.  Neither my husband nor myself have received any calls/messages from them.  I guess that's neither here nor there, but I guess the point is the letter just kind of irked me. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif"...

Book Recommendations for new CF Parent
I am the mother of a 2 month old little girl who was diagnosed with CF at 3 weeks old. So far I have been trying to absorb as much information as I can, but I have found that the technical books I am reading aren't giving me a very real sense of what I can expect my daughter to experience over her lifetime. So....I have  read a few autobiographical books to get a better idea of what hospital stays are like, what a daily routine is like, etc. The problem that I am finding is that they are too emotionally overwhelming for me at this point. When I tell my husband about what I am reading, he reminds me t...

Research shows how estrogen in women causes an increase in mucoid infections.
This study opens the way to a new understanding and potentially new therapies in the treatment of cystic fibrosis, a condition in which Ireland has the highest incidence in the world. This research study is among the first examples which shows the effects of gender hormones on infections and therefore has major implications for conditions beyond cystic fibrosis including other respiratory diseases such as asthma." Dr. Sanjay Chotirmall, a Molecular Medicine Ireland (MMI) Clinician-Scientist fellow is the first author on the paper and Dr. Catherine Greene is the joint senior author. The clinical research was carried ou...

Vitamin D = IBS symptoms?

I've had IBS in the past and have taken Bently for it, but it has been years and years since then. The only difference in my life is taking the Vitamin D.

Coughing
We all know coughing can get pretty intense, loud and violent. My coughing once a while ends up giving me back pains. Sooo my question is, what are some ways you guys have found to ease the coughing problem. Medicine or not, i still cough. I wake up my boyfriend, Vaul, when i cuddle with my son. Also, side note, my son was tested for CF, and doesn't have it. Though he has the most common cf gene, g551d i think its called. And he has a chronic cough hes had since he was born and has salty sweat, i wonder if he could get these as a side effect of just having that 1 gene. Thoughts?

Vest and postural drainage
Has anyone tried their vest while in a postural drainage position?  Just wondering if there would be a benefit, or does the vest do a good enough job without?  I did postural drainage and percussion up until I went to college and responded well to it, but haven't done it since then (almost 20 years).  I think the vest and drainage would kind of be like old school CPT.  Would love some input if anyone has done this with success.  Thanks!

Cystic fibrosis related Narcolepsy????
Someone enterain me here.... this is my running theory.   Narcolepsy is believed to be caused by hypocretin cell death in the brain.

Hello! Some of you already know, for sure, but I didn't until a couple weeks ago and some other people don't know either. I remember reading a post, time ago, where somebody said after a while of using the eFlow (in particular with hypertonic saline), the nebulization time had increased so it wasn't so much better than any other nebulizer. Unfortunately I don't recall who said this, to tell her personally. As it turns out, when nebulizing 5 ml takes longer than 4 minutes with the eFlow, it is due to the small openings in the metal part becoming clo...
