    Columbia or Mass General

    My experience at MGH was very negative and I would not recommend that place to anyone; however, I do know a few people that go there and have been happy with them. I go to B&W/Children's and I think they would be a much better choice.

    Does stress cause lung function loss?

    Yes, I definitely think stress plays a role. Your body goes through a lot of changes when you're stressed - increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, gastric symptoms, etc...so I'm sure that changes to our CF health would also occur.

    How long do neb compressors last for you?

    I have never had a Pari compressor, but my Aeromist compressor has lasted me almost 5 years at this point. My last two compressors have lasted me about 5 years. I actually used to use one of the big old honking loud ones for 20 years and I finally upgraded when I was in my early 20's...

    Ready to pop and getting a horrible cold!! AGH!

    Oh no! I'm sorry that you are having to deal with this right now. It sounds like you did a good job keeping the sickies away from you and your daughter, although sometimes no matter how hard you try the germs still make it back to your household and get someone sick. It's so frustrating when...

    heart rate question

    Hi Erin, A heart rate of 127 while walking around is perfectly fine. My heart rate at rest is usually pretty high at 100-105 and it jumps up pretty good with activity. People with CF generally have a high heart rate, but it should increase with exercise. To figure out where you heart...

    What should I do?

    What is their reasoning for doing it in the office? I have never heard of such a thing. I definitely think she should be started on it now rather than waiting until next week - that's ridiculous! I would call the clinic's on-call MD tomorrow and ask if she can start it right away at home. I...
