Why do I have RunSickboyRun.com?

Blessed with Cystic Fibrosis and a positive attitude, it is my duty and passion to show the cystic fibrosis community that anything is possible through this blog that discusses the daily trials and triumphs that accompany not only life, but a CF life. RSBR is a hub for comfort, information, advice, encouragement and understanding. It is a place where no question is ignored, no accomplishment is too small, no goal is too big, and every comment is cherished.

Ronnie, i was looking at your list of meds and i noticed that you and my 10 yr old Elliot who has cf(cf doesnt have him) are on virtually the same meds.we live in the uk and i am amazed at those familiar names.i will show him your blog and he will be friend requesting you on facebook when he is old enough! i would like him to see that someone else,Ronnie,who also has cf(once again cf doesnt have him!) takes these meds too and its okay.it sucks but its okay.xx

In Canada these medications are extremely common as well. My fiancé has CF and is on several of these medications as well! I hope all is well with you.

I have frequent hemoptysis and Vit K has helped slow it down. Yes, I feel a bit jittery after albuterol/atrovent at times.

Hi, I am from Canada and my fiance has cystic fibrosis. He takes vitamin k+d vitamin because in Canada we cannot get just straight vitamin K in a supplement. I was wondering if your Vitamin K is through prescription or is it over the counter? We live close enough to Maine that we would be able to get it if that was the case. Thanks.
