distinguishing folate and vitamin b12 deficiency
Hey all:
Why all the qbanks keep saying to measure methylmalonic acid to distinguish between folate and B12 deficiency? Why don't just measure serum B12? If it's low you got B12 deficiency! lolz (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Possibility to prevent meconium ileus while pregnant
Wanted to share this information for those expecting with CF prenatal diagnosis or possibility. It explains a theory and some research that DHA and GSH may help prevent meconium ileus. Obviously not conclusive but DHA is pretty common and you can get scripted prenatal vitmins that have a DHA pill with each vitamin. I was on the vitamin/DHA prescription for probably six months before conceiving and throughout pregnancy and personally think it might have prevent DS from having meconium ileus given that he had DIOS before age 2 (which is basically meconium ileus after birth), and has always had extensive GI issues.

should I push for testing?
Ok, I have never done this before, but I need some advice. A little bit of history-my husband(27) had very frequent lung infections as a child. His bedsheets always had a salt residue on them from his night sweats(which he still has). They had him tested for cf, but his results were borderline, & he was never retested. The summer before we got married(he was 20 years old), he ended up in the ER for diagnosed pleurisy. From that point on, he has had a chronic cough, & allergy symptoms that don't ever go away. Fast forward to current. He is exhausted. He can't sleep at night, & his sinus infections will not go aw...

Could it be CF in my 14 yo?
My son is 14 years old, weighs 78 lbs and is 4'10". He has had a cough for 2 years now and asthma among other things have been ruled out. He has had pneumonia twice and bronchitis once in this time. He is currently under the care of an endocrinologist because of his growth issues. He is falling farther and farther behind. His latest labs show his FSH to be very low and his LH to be low but not out of range. His vitamin D level continues to stay low despite supplements for the last year. It is currently at 21. He has always struggled with constipation and very large BM's. As an infant he had the same cough he has now ...

Cfpaf
Yikes, I just received this email from the Cystic Fibrosis Patient Assistance Foundation. Comes as quite a surprise that they are shutting down at the end of the year. I briefly looked at the Healthwell website to check out the guidelines and see what meds they provide assisance with, but it doesn't even show CF as a covered disease. It's a little concerning, how will this Healthwell agency cover the influx of CF patients? I'm guessing somehow the CFF will be funneling money there as opposed to the CFPAF. Hmmmm.. I hoping the assistance remains the same for those of us who use it. I wonder what government regulation...
