A new year is here, and I have decided that it's time to make some changes in my life. More important than what these changes are, is what led me to these decisions.
2013 was, in many ways, a very frustrating year for me. Dealing with the same old reoccurring lung issues, requiring multiple rounds of IV antibiotics. Being diagnosed with Osteopenia in my spine, caused from over use of steroids that have been needed to deal with the lung issues, and extreme malabsorption caused from terrible digestion. I was diagnosed with CF related diabetes years ago, which I have been able to keep under control up until the steroids were added in. In order to combat one medications side effects, we add in another. Two years ago, I made some changes and worked as hard as I could to improve my health so we could start a family. And it worked. My doctors are 100% on board with me getting pregnant. Who knew we would also battle infertility for two years (and counting). Issue after issue. Disappointment after disappointment. But hey! That's CF right??
I hope not.
For some time now, I have been a big believer in natural medicine and foods to help heal the body, sometimes even RATHER than the standard medications. Over the past couple years I have had amazing results using different vitamins and herbs to get rid of infections and improve my overall health, even in cases where prescription medication had no effect. This has recently made me think that if what I put in my body can heal it, it can also be harming it (obviously). This must be stopped. I have been paying extra attention to any little funny things that might be going on in there, and trying to avoid them at all costs. But the things that I have noticed to be harming it, I would have never thought.
Its no surprise that sugar is bad for us. Its highly inflammatory and wrecks havoc through our bodies! For someone that is in a vicious cycle of infection-inflammation, it only makes sense to give sugar the boot! Am I going to miss that can of coke, or the candy bar? Sure. But I definitely wont miss waking up in the middle of the night gasping for air, because my lungs have so much inflammation that my airways are literally the size of a pin hole.
Next - I have known for a while now that my body does not like cows dairy. The amount of milk that goes in, I will cough that amount of blood back out! Hmm... I dont think that is supposed to happen. So, dairy is out. A huge part of me will miss cheese (Ive kind of been an addict my whole life), but I will NOT miss hemoptsis, and will do what I can to avoid it from happening.
I have always had poor digestion, but the last little while it seems to be getting worse. After eating, I get such bad pressure in my stomach, bloating like crazy. I have watched out for what seems to cause this more than others, and I have to say its wheat. Now I dont know if I can say that I am a full blown `celiac`, but there definitely is some sort of terrible reaction going on there. Goodbye wheat. I have never been a big bread person anyway.
Then I kind of started to freak out a bit. In order for me to maintain my weight as it is, I need to consume between 5000 and 6000 calories a day. Without all this extra stuff, how will I do it? I have worked really hard to get my weight to a stable place (in order to carry a baby, if it ever does happen), and I dont want to lose that! So I went back to the basics. Meat, fish, eggs, veggies, fruits, nuts, and healthy oils. Thats it. That is all I have consumed for the last 8 days, and all I plan to consume for at least the next 90 days. If I feel great, maybe thats all I will ever consume. I have to say grocery shopping has gotten alot easier, and I am having lots of fun trying to come up with new recipes!
So the reasons WHY all seem to make sense, but the proof is always in the results.
Since making these changes just 8 days ago, my blood sugars have completely stabilized and returned to normal, and my O2 levels have stabilized and returned to normal. I have had NO stomach pains, NO bloating, and have actually have been able to lower the amount of digestive enzymes I need. My weight has not changed at all (which was one of the major concerns I had). I wake up feeling like I have actually slept, and have more engery than I know what to do with. I have been able to start exercising again, reduce the amount of steroids I need by half, and my lung function has improved 12%. In 8 days. I might be on to something..
I am not doing this alone. Jeff is 100% on board, hoping to fix some health issues as well. If I have had these results in just over a week, we are hoping that our fertility luck will also change, and we will finally be able to start our family. At this point, anything is possible!
Happy 2014 everyone!

Another Year Bites the Dust
So, I am aware that it has been pretty close to a year since my last post, so I apologize now for it being lengthy, but what a year it has been. I guess I knew that CF was going to get worse as I got older, but how prepared can you ever be? I am very lucky to be able to say that I have recovered extremely well, considering all that's happened, whereas many other CF friends my age, don't.
Shortly after my last post, I started having alot of stomach issues, mainly with my gallbladder. There was some talk of taking it out, but that sort of settled a bit and went on the back burner once my lungs started "acting out" again.
For as long as I can remember, I have only cultured 2 bugs (Staph A. and Achromabactor X), with the occasional burst of the fungus Aspergillis. As a kid I always cultured psuedo, which is common, but I have seemed to outgrow that, and it hasn't showed up for close to 5 years.
Anyway, sometime around May, I culture Stenotroptamonas M for the first time, and the cough that came along with it was almost unbearable. Started on some orals, but it didn't kick it, so I had a PICC inserted the first week of July, and we were off. I have always considered myself lucky, because my body has always responded really well to IV meds and 2 to 3 weeks is usually long enough. Not this time. It was like my lungs were waiting with open arms for any and all intruders to inhabit them. Between May, and the 17 weeks I spent doing IV antibiotics, I had cultured my 2 regular bugs, the Aspergillis, the new Steno bug, another new fungal bug that I can't say OR spell, Candida of the lung, and then to top it all off, in August, I also cultured Burkholderia Cepacia for the first time. I do realize that to many people, these are all just a bunch of big words, but in the CF world, these are some of the worst things you can be told.
Luckily, my "bad bug" seems to be less serious, which let's me breathe just a little (no pun intended), but any bacteria is still bacteria and must be squashed.
So I finished up my 17 weeks of IV somewhere around the end of October, early November, still culturing most of these bugs, and in fairly high count. I was beginning to feel toxic (if that's the right word). Too many strong meds for too long, so I had my PICC line pulled. I decided to step up my au natural regimen just a little, and see if I can squash these suckers alone!
One month later, after being off ALL antibiotics, I headed back to clinic. I had been using only my own regimen, some pretty experimental, but my bugs were almost all GONE! It had showed up only LIGHT grown B. Cepacia, and very light growth Aspergillis. Another 6 weeks passed, 2 respiratory flu's and 1stomach bug later, the exact same, except some Staph had recultured (I am attributing that to the flu).
So even though I have not made it to my next goal YET, I still believe I will get there. My lung function over the past year has been up and down from 80%'s to 40%'s, but I am sitting here today back at 82%, and am getting ready to go on my first airplane EVER to Mexico, and that is nothing to complain about!!

Staying Positive!
I know, I know! I'm the worlds worst blogger! I figured it was time for an update!
ALOT has happened since I last wrote! Things were going excellent after I finished up my treatments before Christmas, I had a good holiday and it continued on into the new year! So I am happy that I was able to get in for a top up just before the holidays :)
After that, things seemed to stay relatively stable. My FEV1 did drop down a bit (to around 73%) but NOTHING at all to be upset about. I was feeling good and enjoying life. A couple weeks ago, we got this really bizarre blast of heat and humidity! Like 30 degree weather in MARCH! Crazyyy talk! With spring time normally being the time of year I get sick, I was HOPING that I would be able to make it through it! Unfortunately, after just a day of this crazy weather, asthma kicked in FULL GEAR and tightened my lungs right up. With it being so tight and compressed, I was unable to bring anything up, air-go full blown lung exacerbation! Lung function dropping to 52% :( Off to clinic I go.
After reviewing with the docs, we decided to start on a relatively high dose of steroids and see if that alone would relieve my symptoms. The tightness did seem to let up a bit, but what was left was... welll... not nice. Back to clinic I go. My lung function did return somewhat close to normal (around 68%), but I knew it could be better, and I still wasn't feeling at my best! We decided a round of IV antibiotics should do the trick. I got set up for 2 weeks of home care, and am on my way to recovery! I have to say though, that this is the FIRST time in over 5 years that I have NOT had to be admitted to hospital when this happens in the spring! So I am very excited about that! :)
I am still continuing to exercise, although I am unable to run for now. Prednisone really does a number on my ankle joints! So stepper it is for now, and it seems to be doing the trick! I am now only 4 DAYS into my IV treatment and am starting to feel great! I wanted to check on my progress, so this morning I decided to do a blow!
Tuesday at clinic, my FEV1 measured in at 2.58L (68%), and today it is reading 3.20L (84%)!! HUGE change already! Not bad, I'd say, when I look back at this time last year I was only at 1.35L (36%). Since switching over to the adult clinic, I have NEVER had numbers this high! Only 6% more to reach my next goal, and I can feeeeeel it coming!
I'll update more SOON!.. I promise!

CF Fights Back
A lot has happened since my last post, so let me fill you in a little bit on what's been going on!
Last post, I had mentioned about my previous clinic visit, and my FEV1 being up to 61%, a 15% increase from the time before. I had also mentioned that my FEV1 had since then climbed up to over 70%! It did continue to rise a little bit more, but I had started to feel like things, once again, were heading for the worst. Now, I don't know if I'm just the type of person to panic at any sign of congestion (especially now that I have put in so much hard work), but that's exactly what had happened. I started to feel tired, and congested, and I wasn't sleeping through the night, I would wake up coughing. All the same symptoms I have always had when my numbers got low. BUT, even though I had all the symptoms of a bad infection brewing (and even the results of a sputum sample saying they were) my FEV1 had not budged. I was still holding strong at 70%. My old CF mind would be saying "this is what this disease does, it's just 'running its course'." My NEW CF mind, however, called the doc right away, arranged to get a PICC line inserted, and knew I had to fight harder to get past this.
So, of course I show up at clinic, blew a 2.71L (71%) (again, 10% higher than my previous visit), and the doc says "I don't think we need to put that PICC in". I was almost in TEARS. I was THRILLED that my number had went up (even though I knew it had before I got there), but I wasn't FEELING like a 70%. So I begged and begged, and finally they decided they would treat me for my "symptoms", even though my lung function test was telling them otherwise.
Sure enough, I went back a week later, and I had already improved 3%, Up to 2.82L (74%). And for any other CF'er that's reading this, or ANYONE who has had to have a round of high dose IV antibiotics, you know the first 4-5 days make you feel much worse than you felt to begin with! So I was surprised to have any improvement at all! So we continued on the IV for one more week, and I continued my running during this time, and show up the following week feeling better than I ever remember feeling in my life! At this point, my nerves are shot (which was funny, because I'm not usually nervous about having to do PFT's), but I had a goal in my mind. A number I wanted to reach, and I knew I could reach it on my own meter, but could I pull it off at clinic. I remember blowing, looking up at the computer, and there was a nice big "3" in front of my number, and the RT and I had a little celebration! I am now up to 3.08L (81%)!! I never, in a million years, thought I would ever see a 3L number again!
So, after seeing the doctor, we decided that we didn't need to continue on with the IV antibiotics. In fact, we decided (for the first time since March), we didn't need to continue on with ANY antibiotics. I'm feeling a little nervous about it, but I'm keeping up with my supplements and my exercise, and so far things have been good. Hopefully I will be able to maintain my success (or improve ;) ) for my next visit in January.

NEWWW goal, 90%! Is it possible? :)

Long Overdue
So it's been almost 2 months since I've wrote a blog. I have to admit, I am not the best at keeping this updated when I think things are starting to go wrong. Let me fill you in on the past little while.
In my last post, I mentioned that I was going to be going to clinic on that following Tuesday. Well, everything was going great, up until 3 days before clinic (just my luck), and I started to cough up a bit of blood. Nothing too too serious, but I was a bit concerned. So I took a few extra doses of vitamin K, got the bleeding under control, but of course my airways are still irritated when I get to clinic on Tuesday! My PFT's on that day were 61%, which is still FANTASTIC (a 16% increase from the previous visit 5 weeks ago) and I really shouldn't beat myself up about it, but I really wanted to see that 67% that I was blowing only a few days before.
Since that clinic visit, I've went through sort of a rough patch. I don't know if I would say that I became discouraged, but I don't feel like I have really been pushing myself as hard. I've caught a really bad cold, and have been so tired and worn down, I haven't really felt up to it much. I waited almost 2 weeks before I blew again, and I was sure that I was going to see a number in the 50's again.
To my surprise, my first blow WITH my cold, came in around 65%! At this time, I switched up my Lipo Vitamin C for a different supplement that is also liposomal, and has Vitamin C, Curcumin, Resveratrol, Glutathione, and COQ10. The stuff tastes absolutely horrible!!! But seems to be working some magic!
I decided that it was time to get my butt back in gear, and jump back on the stair stepper.
When I started this less than 3 months ago, on August 9th, my FEV1 was being called "the new baseline" at 1.77L (46%). As of last night, October 31......... my FEV1 is 2.78L (72%)! And THAT, my friends, is 1.01L improvement in 12 weeks!
Goal #1 reached! :)

30km Weekend!
Well it's almost been 2 weeks since I've posted, so I thought I should update everyone on what's up! Things are still improving (at a more reasonable rate I would say), and I am still goin' strong!
This past week I felt like I had maybe caught a bug, and was starting to get worried. There was a few nights that I had woke up through the night coughing (since I started this regimen, I have been sleeping right through the night!), I had increased mucous, it was starting to turn yellowy green again. Needless to say... it was NOT pretty! I mentioned in one of my previous posts, I have been taking really high doses of Vitamin C! This bug has come and left faster than any other infection I have EVER had! I am so impressed! Not to mention, I work in a hospital, and I have gone this entire month WITHOUT getting sick! I think I might be on to something here!! :)
I have had a very productive weekend to say the least. The humidity has finally broke, and the fall weather is starting to roll in. For anyone that has any kind of breathing problems, you know how wonderful this is! I was able to get out this weekend and bike 20km on Saturday, and another 10km today! 3 months ago this would never have happened, so I'm super excited about it! :)
I got home from my bike ride today, and decided.. what better time than now, to do a blow!
Before I go on, I also wanted to add that during this past month I have been weening off Prednisone, and am now down to only 5mg! In 3 more days, I will be completely steroid free, and couldn't be feeling better!
Now for the results. Almost 2 weeks ago, on August 29th, my FEV1 was 2.47L (64%), and today it is up to 2.57L (67%)!! I'm only 3% away from my first goal!
I was last at clinic on August 9th, and blew a 46%. It's been stuck there so long, they were calling it my "new baseline". Of course I wasn't happy with this! I am heading back to clinic this coming Tuesday, with my lung function 21% higher than it was only 5 weeks ago, and I can't wait to "blow" them all away!

2 Years in 3 Weeks..
When I started this mission, I wasn't expecting this good of results so quickly. I had it all figured out that if I could gain 0.10L per month, it would take me approximately 1 year to reach my first goal, and even THAT seemed like a lot of ground to gain. I really don't know what to say about the speed I am improving. I'm still pretty speechless about the whole thing, but wanted to share my progress with you for the past week!
I also wanted to add that when I started my workouts, I added a few supplements to the list. I have been taking 10,000mg of Lipo-Spheric Vitamin C/day, and with the absorption rate of the Lipo-Spheric, it is supposed to equal anywhere between 50,000 and 80,00mg of regular vitamin C without the bowel issues. And let me tell you, its like opening up the flood gates with this stuff! I get such good clearance right after I take it, and feel so good for the rest of the day! Also, I have been taking 8-10g of Omega 3's every day for inflammation, and I really do think that it is having a HUGE part in why I have been able to work out as much as I have without having ANY muscle stiffness or soreness! So I am going to continue taking both of these, and see where it takes me!
Now, the lung function update. This morning I woke up and went for a quick 1km jog, and realized that it was already way to hot outside for me, so I came back and finished another 30 minutes on the stair stepper. Sat for about 10 minutes, took a swig of Ventolin, and decided to do a blow.
In the 1 week it has been since I last blew (which by the way, seemed like FOREVER) my FEV1 went from 2.23L (58%) to 2.47L (64%)!!! It's still so hard to believe that only 3 weeks ago I was stuck at 46%, and even just this past May/June I was down to 36%. I have gained 18% lung function in 21 days, and I can't remember the last time I felt this good. I was looking over my lung function history, and I haven't had a number this high since September of 2009. I have already went back 2 years of my life, in only 3 weeks! I hope it just keeps getting better and better!
Stay tuned..

I was looking over my lung function history, and I haven't had a number this high since September of 2009. I have already went back 2 years of my life, in only 3 weeks! I hope it just keeps getting better and better!
Stay tuned..
