candida fungal infection with stimulator
Had a weird case a couple of weeks ago. My partner, who is an outstanding technical surgeon for implants (one of the best I have seen) had a stim follow up while he was on vacation. The wounds were dehiscing and the incisions looked odd (my partner has had only two infections over a 25 year career, so he is pretty damn good). I took her to the OR and removed the stim, packing the incisions open. Initial cultures were negative, but eventually grew candida. This patient was a diabetic with a...

18 years old possible CF.
Hi,
I have had sinus issues and stomach pain for a long time now and have also coughed up sputum a lot. Recently, I have been having pneumonia due to Staphylococcus Aureus (7 times now.) and hospitalized twice. My pulmonologist send me for a sweat test and it came back as likely having CF. In my most recent hospital stay, I also had a bronchoscopy which came back containing Aspergillus Fumigatus, Candida Albicans, and Staphylococcus Aureus and the doctor mentioned my lungs kinda resembled someone with CF and in my first stay I had been diagnosed with bronchiectasis.
Anyone ever have a similar situation? (Source: Cystic F...

Headaches and Muscle Cramps
Many CF warriors experience chronic headaches. I have not yet heard from any doctors a clear and reasonable explanation as to why we have the headaches. My suspicion is that CF is not directly the cause of the headaches, but all the stuff we do and go through as a result of CF can point to several culprits. All I can contribute to this issue is my own experience.

Due to CF causing a rapid depletion of vit...

AP for green smoothies
A while back Josh had candida overgrowth and began drinking green smoothies as a part of his treatment. We had a recipe book, but I just found this AP that gives good info about the health benefit if each ingredient too.
