Guest guest Posted September 4, 2002 Report Share Posted September 4, 2002 Yes, we did a sputum test just weeks ago and it came back all clear! His immune system checked out OK as well. His sweat test was done a Childrens Hospital in DC which is a recognized CF center. Does anyone know.........Does a true negitive sweat test produce extremly low numbers? was 39. Dr says she considers 40 a positive but givin Collin's history....... -Tina mom to Kelli 8 wocf, and Collin 6 wcf in land MissGooberGir l@... To: cfparents cc: 08/30/2002 Subject: Tina 08:15 PM Please respond to cfparents Hello Have they ever done a sputum test on your son to see whats growing in his lungs? Also CF has over 900 mutations and only 75 are checked for.There is something called Ambry testing that tests for 800 I believe. Have they looked into immune system problems? Collin should have a sweat test done at a Nationally recognized CF center.I would see about getting the genetic screen and go from there. ALso get the soutum culture to see what antibiotics are best.

Some of the stuff is quite interesting stuff I am not sure I knew much about. But one thing I was wondering... Ok if a person is on Medicare, Married... but has no extra $$ to pick up pills, and the pills I am taking is still not making much of a difference in how my Blood Sugars are... as last time we keep on checking it is still over 300. So until I can find a Doctor that can figure out what is best for me, what do you suggest, and is there help financially somewhere for people who are Diabetic, on Medicare, and have no $$ to pay for their meds... I know if I was on Insulin, everything would be paid for. I'm in a rock and a hard space here, and needing any advice that might help me out. ~~TINA~~ Hi Tina, yes, talk to yur doctor and see if he can hook you up. If there is no response, post to me, and I will try to see if I can come up with something for you. Hugs, marilyn Marilyn Moderator for Diabetic_Recipes dnevessr@...

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Thanks Tina. Well she justs wants me to add whatever it will take to get the 900 calories. I just had my breakfast and the calories were 175 I tried to do better than that but couldn't. She isn't concerned about the snacking thing right now she says we need the calories so we can burn them rather than nothing or burning the little that we do have. I think that I'm going to try to find a protein shake with higher calories I have one that is only 90 calories which I drink one sometimes 2 a day of. The only reason they are only 90 calories is because I'm afraid to try them with milk so I use water and that makes the calories lower. I'm 4 weeks out as of yesterday. I'm trying to trac my calories in fitday.com to see how I'm doing but sometimes I chart before I eat then don't finish stuff so its not always accurate totally but I do try. So how have you been doing Tina any dumping? I know that you have already lost more weight than I have. Thats great... I'm only down 15 lbs but thats ok.. Well thanks for the note RoseTina wrote: Hi Rose!It's Tina. I know that I must only get about 400-500 calories a day. Getting 900 calories in 3 meals a day (or did he/she say ad snacks) seems almost impossible to me. You are a little further out than I am though.I hope you get to feeling better soon.I have lightheadedness too but it's because my blood pressure is so low (84/52) because of the meds I take for elevated heart rate. I have an appointment with my PCP next Friday, the 24th.I think they have a low sugar Ensure drink (I'm pretty sure anway). It supposedly tastes pretty good.Feel better!Tina> > >> > >Thanks Colleen.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Well Tina I hear you not wanting to eat at all I'm the same way. I eat only because I know I have too. I've had dumping a couple of times and it doesn't feel good at all thats another reason I don't want to eat either because you never know if you will get ill or not I have eatten the same thing and once it made me dump and the other it didn't I hear that is normal though. You might want to consider eatting at regular intervals that is what my Dr. also recommended. Well that is great 20lbs keep up the great work and don't overdue the exercise and make sure you get your protein in especially if you are exercising or you will burn your muscle not fat. I mentioned to my Dr. that my husband wants me to go join the gym she wasn't too happy with that since she said we already eat too little and can't afford to burn allot off right now. Well hope you continue with all your success it is wonderful to hear your story. Keep me posted RoseTina wrote: No dumping. I did eat too fast one time and didn't feel so well. Like it was stuck in my throat. Other than that, I've been going along just fine. I did 4 days of Water Aerobics this week. By the time I was done yesterday, I could hardly life my arms I was so stinkin' tired. I took today off. I haven't been keeping track of how many calories I eat at all. I decided to get back on fitday.com today and start tracking just so I'd have an idea. I had a slice of turkey with 1/2 slice of cheese melted in it. I rolled it up and ate it warmed up. It was pretty good. Really, at this point, I could care less if I eat. I eat because I need to. You are not too far behind me...I've lost 20 pounds post-surgery as of Wednesday. You are doing just fine. You've had a tough time of it. I'm sure once you get things worked out (meds, etc.), you'll start dropping them fast. Keep me posted!Tina> > > >> > > >Thanks Colleen.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Tina I'm so on stage III foods I had my surg in Fremont and they are also 12 weeks out to advance. Not sure about SSF. I found a drink called Glucerna it has 10gms of protein and 7 gms of sugar and 220 calories so I'm going to add that into my day. I don't think I will make it to 900 but I'll do the best I can right now I'm at 380 and very very full I'll do what I can and won't push it so I get sick.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Try Hood milk, it only has 70 callories per cup, but is sweetened with Splenda and won't make you dump. Another thing that might work is soy milk, Silk is a good brand. It has more callories, and I don't know how much sugar it has, but I drink it in my decaf lates.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Tina I think your right according to the info in my binder 90 is too much. Every Dr. is a little different but our binders from Fremont should be the same. I know your from Richmond and they don't like there people to drink the protein shakes for some reason. They do really help get the protein in though. Good luck and thanks for any info you might get RoseTina wrote: It is physically impossible to get in 90 grams of protein only eating three 1/4 cup meals! I just do not see that it is physically possible to do that. I think 60-90 grams is the goal long term, when you can eat three 3/4 cup meals a day. I'm going to check with Beth Wagner and I'll let everyone know what she says next week. I don't do protein drinks and Beth does NOT want me to do them.Tina> > > > > > >> > > > > > >Thanks Colleen.
