    Tré LaRosa started the topic Meeting representatives in the forum Adults​ ​With​ ​Cystic Fibrosis 3 years, 6 months ago

    If you could, would you meet with your representatives in your state to talk about life with CF, about healthcare, or about any issue you’re passionate about?

    What issues would you want to talk about?

    What state do you live in?

    Tré LaRosa started the topic Bonfires in the forum Adults​ ​With​ ​Cystic Fibrosis 3 years, 6 months ago

    Recently, I hung out near a bonfire with some friends for the first time in a long time. I hadn’t sat by one in a long time so I didn’t think much of it. The next morning, I noticed my chest was tighter than usual. I realized it was probably due to the bonfire.

    Have you noticed that you’ve felt similarly? Do you avoid bonfires? How do you…[Read more]

    Tré LaRosa started the topic Self-deprecating language in the forum Adults​ ​With​ ​Cystic Fibrosis 3 years, 7 months ago

    I’ve found that whenever I make what I perceive to be a mistake, the language I use to talk to myself is dehumanizing. I call myself dumb or an idiot or worse. I’ve started to recognize how bad that is for my self-esteem and self-compassion. But whenever a friend vents to me, I’m understanding, empathetic, and nonjudgmental.

     

    1. How do…

    Tré LaRosa started the topic Communicating with your doctor in the forum Adults​ ​With​ ​Cystic Fibrosis 3 years, 8 months ago

    One of the coolest things my doctor has ever done was give me his phone number. It felt like I could trust him and also gave me comfort that I could reach out if things got bad in a hurry.

    1. Do you feel like your doctor is accessible or easily reachable? Why or why not?
    2. What are some ways you think this could be improved?

    Tré LaRosa started the topic Disagreeing with one another in the forum Adults​ ​With​ ​Cystic Fibrosis 3 years, 8 months ago

    There are pockets of the internet where there is productive discussion to be had about heavy topics (Our hope is that this forum is one of those places!) In the CF community, there are definitely issues that are heated enough that people will express serious disagreement no matter what.

     

    1. What do you think is the best way to express…

      Tré LaRosa started the topic Sputum cultures, kids in the forum Sputum cultures, kids 3 years, 8 months ago

      I remember as a kid, I had a hard time coming up with sputum for CF appointments and hated doing the throat swab. Since being an adult, it’s been less of a problem.

      1. Does your kid have trouble coming up with sputum?
      2. Do you analyze their sputum culture results? Do you worry about them?
      3. Does this affect yours and their experience in clinic?

      Tré LaRosa started the topic Salt replacement therapy in the forum Adults​ ​With​ ​Cystic Fibrosis 3 years, 8 months ago

      People with CF have to be especially attuned to their electrolyte levels when they exercise.

      1. Do you exercise a lot? What type of exercise?
      2. Do you sweat a lot?
      3. What type of salt replacement therapy do you use?
      4. Do you get bad headaches if you don’t replace quickly enough?

      Tré LaRosa started the topic PFT anxiety in the forum Adults​ ​With​ ​Cystic Fibrosis 3 years, 8 months ago

      1. Do you get anxious about your PFTs? Why or why not?
      2. What do you in preparation for it? Both in the days and minutes before?
      3. Are your PFTs stable? Feel free to not share about this if you’re not comfortable.

      Tré LaRosa started the topic Exercise Test in the forum Adults​ ​With​ ​Cystic Fibrosis 3 years, 8 months ago

      A couple of weeks ago, I did an exercise test for the first time. It was really cool to see what my VO2 max is.

      1. Have you ever done an exercise test? Was it routine or for something else?
      2. If you’re comfortable, what was it? How did it compare to your PFT?
      3. Was it strenuous? Did you have a hard time?

      Tré LaRosa started the topic Coffee/Caffeine in the forum Adults​ ​With​ ​Cystic Fibrosis 3 years, 8 months ago

      As I’ve gotten older, I’ve noticed that caffeine has affected me more (bummer, I know).

      1. Do you drink caffeine? What types – tea, coffee, energy drinks?
      2. How does caffeine affect you?
      3. (Strangely for me, I’ve noticed it affects me differently depending on what the drink is.) Have you noticed this?
      4. Do you notice caffeine interacting w…

      Tré LaRosa started the topic Breakfast foods in the forum Adults​ ​With​ ​Cystic Fibrosis 3 years, 8 months ago

      We’ve all been told for so long that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I dunno if I truly believe that but I definitely believe eating a healthy(ish) breakfast is good and important, especially for people with CF. I’ve noticed I get shaky from some nebs and caffeine, but eating helps!

       

      1. What do you eat for breakfast?
      2. Do…
