Pain
Hello, My daughter with cystic fibrosis (26 years old) has pain in all joints, she suffers a lot. The doctor of the CF centre gives her ibuprofen, but it does not relieve her a lot. Can you tell me if there is anything else to do? Thank you for your reply.

pain in a young child
My 4 years old CF daughter complains for already one year about acute and very frequent pains (3 - 4 times a week) in legs (knee, ankle). Especially after intense physical activity. It wakes her at night frequently. Nevertheless, no redness, nor heat. According to the CF centre, it is not an inflammatory syndrome. Nevertheless the pain is very real, calmed by Acetaminophen and relieved temporarily by massages. Have you an idea of what it could be ?

ABPA and big repairs at home
We plan to have big repairs in our apartment. For years, our daughter has been treated for ABPA. She will leave the apartment in order to avoid any aspergillus contamination. Our question is when should she come back after the end of the works: how long should we wait to avoid any recontamination with an aspergillus still present in the air?

nutrition
Dear expert team, I have a question about nutrition in CF. In general it is said, that the increased calory need in CF should be covered especially with an increased intake of fat. But: increased fat intake means of course also a more intensive repletion. Now it is known for years, (only the german society for nutrition (DGE) does not seem to know this...), that for healthy people the intake of (healty) fats should not count for "fat-makers" - as it is postulated very often- but rather the carbohydrates count as "hunger-makers" (due to the reaction of the insulin) and therefore serve as a "fat-maker". Is there not the inversion of the argument right for CF patients: eat more carbohydrates? And as a consequence get more hunger? And as a consequence: eat more? Problems could occur of course with diabetes, but for non-diabetic CF patients this would probably be the easy variant to come to a better weight?

flixotide
Hello. I have a child with CF and my doctor recommended treatment with Flixotide. I have given two ampoules / day for 5 days but as I did not understand well, I am not sure if this was right. Then I read the prospectus and I am afraid of adverse effects on children.

Hygiene
Hello, MRSA can be as is known transmitted via the hands. New numbers from the internet (paul ehrlich institute, Germany) say, that 22% of the average population are MRSA carriers. Does that mean that one gets infected with MRSA in the short or long runs - and therefore become also a carrier? Or are the carriers not infectious for others, as long as they do not have open wounds etc. ? Where does the main risk lie to get infected? Many thanks for your answer.
