Nasal Filters - Shark Tank
I was thinking to buy for my baby with 1 year and a half a nasal filters to avoid being contaminated.
Someone uses the "Defense Nasal Screens" nasal filters Shark Tank?
Those filters are effective? It really works? By using, we are free of germs, virus and bacteria?
It's hard to breathe with it? The airflow decreases?
I know that they are selling in medium size. It can be adapted to a baby?
thank you

severe asthma
Anyone else here have severe large airway chronic asthma? Its really kicking my butt right now to the point where I can barely take any inhaled meds since I am so hyperreactive. Any suggestions? IgE is normal, neutophils quite high. FEV 58%, but O2 hanging out between 92-95, drops to 88/89 during exertion, around 90/91 for sleep. Two years ago w/only mild asthma I ran a 10K with this same FEV. Now stairs wind me badly. Please help! Prednisone helps, but only a high dose and dont want to be on it for years. Docs are suggesting low dose methyltrexate. Any experience with this, anyone? (Source: Cystic Fibrosis A...

Going to the doctor for a sweat test rcmndtn.
Im going to the doctor this week to try and get a recommendation for a cf sweat test. Im worried they may think Im crazy, but I'm so frustrated that I dont know what else to do. Since a child I have been getting sinus infections and bronchitis frequently. My doctor diagnosed me with asthma and put me on antibiotics and that worked for a while. I'm now 22 years old (female) and have started going downhill since 16. I know cystic fibrosis is usually diagnosed as a child but i was not tested at birth and I have read that some milder mutations do not.become severe until later in life. Anyway at 16 I started having severe pain ...

Could I have CF?
I've had what has been diagnosed as horrible allergies my entire life. My nose is completely clogged 365 days a year, to the point where I basically can't breathe through it. What's worse is I have this horrible post nasal drip. It's so thick and copious that I feel like I am constantly choking. I'm coughing and sniffling literally every second of every day. Although I do exercise, I have a hard time breathing when I run. I often feel like I can't breathe deeply enough. I feel like I constantly have a sinus infection, I've had probably 2-3 a year for as long as I can remember. I've had my lung capacity tested before to see...

CF testing, at 23?
Hey,
I don't know where to start with this one - first off, i'm 23. I have a lot of health problems, and also have a lot of friends with CF because of being in hospitals a lot. I've always been told I have very brittle and unstable asthma, and that because of my asthma I get lots of infections. However its got to the point where I am in hospital every few months, my lung function is rapidly dropping and we cant seam to get the infections under control. So I was referred too another hospital (Papworth) which specializes in CF/ Non-CF bronchiectasis and recurrent difficult infections. They have ran lots of tests, one of wh...

F508 and I148T/possible CF symptoms?
Hi,
I'm new to this forum. Does anyone have this combination? My DS (8) has these 2 mutations, which we knew about since birth when he tested positive in his newborn screening but negative in his sweat test (I carry the F508 and my husband carries I148T). We were told that he may develop atypical CF and be infertile but he has never had a follow-up appointment as the reports were buried in his pediatrician's file. Fast forward 8 years...our DS has been to many specialists (neurologists, allergists, endocronologist, psychiatrists) for issues ranging from eyes rolling in the back of his head to anger management & anxiet...

Natural Rinse Agent in Dishwasher for Cleaning Nebulizer Parts
Has anyone considered how the rinse agent (like Jet-Dry) in the dishwasher remains on our CFers nebulizer parts? We stopped using a rinse agent, and all our dishes now have soap spots. We currently rinse the soap off the nebulizer pieces, but I am now considering using a natural rinse agent. However, I'm not sure if that substance will contaminate the lungs.
Has anyone done any research on this topic? We're pretty sold on washing nebulizer parts in the dishwasher since it is easier. (Source: Cystic Fibrosis Asthma, Allergies and Green Forum)

Too much to go in PS, what should I leave out?
Hi guys
I'm applying for GEM 2015 entry and have made a list of what to put in my PS. I have too much to go into sufficient detail about everything, so I'm trying to narrow it down to what will give the best statement. The list is:
volunteering as a reader for asthma UK (basically review all documents they produce before they are released to the general public, links to health education)
volunteering on an ENT surgical ward as a Patient Support Volunteer where my roles involve chatting to patients, feeding them, helping out nursing staff etc. basically it's 2 hours of a week of direct patient contact. This placement is...
