What sports/physical activities are good for someone with Cystic Fibrosis?


I want to get my daughter involved in some good sports/physical activities. She's only 3 years old. She has Cystic Fibrosis. We live in New York and walk a lot, she gets out of breath often when we go for walks and walk up hills. But the doctors say its good for her to have to work her lungs. What are the best sports and other physical activities I should get her involved in?
----------

Regular exercise improves the health of people who have cystic fibrosis. Exercise helps loosen mucus, encourages coughing, improves oxygen flow, and makes you feel better. Upper body exercises, such as swimming or rowing, increase the strength and endurance of the muscles that are used for breathing.

After talking to your doctor about how much exercise is good for your child, encourage your child to participate in sports and recreational activities. Team sports are great ways for your child to stay fit and to interact with other children. Talk to the coach or supervisor about your child's abilities and the important role of physical activity in the treatment of cystic fibrosis.

Some people who have cystic fibrosis may not be strong enough to participate in certain activities. Your doctor can recommend the right amount and type of exercise for you. Or, you may work with a physical therapist to develop your own exercise routine.  (+ info)

What is the best way to get rid of cystic body acne?


My bf has horrible cystic body acne. What is the best way to cure that besides the obvious try to keep those areas suseptable to it extra clean of oils and all. That helps but isn't the cure.
----------

For cystic body acne, the only truly effective option is Accutane. A topical treatment can't be used over th entire body, and cystic acne is resistant to most other forms of acne treatment. (Over-the-counter remedies are a waste of time, unfortunately.) To get Accutane, he will need to see a dermatologist. Even if he doesn't have insurance, this will ultimately be more affordable, in the long term, than the constant pursuit of lesser-expensive treatments that just don't work.

Antibiotics aren't effective for severe cystic acne; they are really only effective for mild-to-moderate acne. I'm including a link to a resource on WebMD below that helps patients with "Should I take isotretinion (Accutane) for my acne?". You both should review this. The short-term side effects of Accutane are manageable, and much-preferred by most severe acne sufferers, to the option of living with cystic acne.

Good luck -- get treatment as soon as possible to avoid and minimize scarring.  (+ info)

What causes differences in the severity of Cystic Fibrosis?


I have identical twin girls (they're 16) who have Cystic Fibrosis, they have always been in the same environment, but they seem to have two different severity levels of Cystic Fibrosis, one of my twins is sick very often and has had to spend numerous amounts of time in hospital, has much lower lung function, needs a feeding tube, and will need a lung transplant eventually, my other daughter does not get sick and get infections that much and has always been a lot stronger. What actually causes the differences since they are identical twins?
----------

Different mutations of the disease may play a part in this. However, this cannot be ruled at the answer either. For example, I have CF as well, my mutation is the G551D, and right now I am currently in a study with 2 other people at my CF center (about 80-120 in the US hopefully at the end) and even at my center 5 people have this mutation. I am about 50% lung function (this is very good for me) but have spent a lot of time in the 40%. To be in this study your lung function had to be over 40% and stable. One girl is not able to participate because she is under that mark, and one boy is in the 90's so he cannot participate because he is doing too well! I think that Cystic Fibrosis is still really misunderstood, and not everything is known yet about it. Everyday there are new treatments that are developing to make life better. Right now I am a lot healthier than my older sister who does not have CF! I have not been ill in nearly a year, which is amazing to me because for about 3 years I consistently had IV therapy every 3 to 4 months for about 2 months at a time.  (+ info)

Acne Marks or Scars

Here is a simple tip that you can use to reduce your acne scars and pigmentation.

The Oil Cleansing Method
What you will need:
Warm Water
Cold Water
Clean Towels
Castor Oil
Olive Oil

The first thing you need to do is to wash your face gently to remove excess dirt and oils from the surface.

You will then need to warm a clean towel in warm water and apply it to your face for 3 minutes. Do the same thing with the cold water but this time for one minute.

Carry out both the warm water and cold water procedure about 3 times but always finish with cold and then pat dry with another clean towel.

Next mix a small amount of castor oil with a small amount of olive oil. A 50/50 ratio will do just fine. Apply the mixture to your skin and let it stay there for 30 minutes and then rinse with warm water. Pat dry with a clean towel and you are good to go.  (+ info)

What should I do if my 4 year old has symptoms of cystic fibrosis?


My 4 year old son has had breathing problems and been hospitalized twice for croup, pneumonia once and constantly has a deep cough. His father is a carrier for cystic fibrosis and im not. Should he be tested? His half brother has been diagnosed with CF.
----------

Assuming you are certain about not being a carrier, and have been test for it. Then there is absolutely zero chance of him having cystic fibrosis.

Every person has two copies of a gene, one inherited from each parent. If a person has one normal CF gene and one abnormal CF gene, then that person is a carrier of CF. Having only one abnormal copy of the CF gene is not enough to cause the disease, so a CF carrier will not have any symptoms.

If both parents are carriers of an abnormal CF gene, then there is a chance that each parent will pass the abnormal gene on to there child. Having two copies of the abnormal CF gene results in CF.  (+ info)

What to do if you feel a cystic type zit coming?


I can't see it AT ALL, but I can feel it, and I know it's going to be huge and hurt like a mother, but what can I do about it? Is there anything I can put on it to stop it from surfacing? I hate cystic type zits and I don't want this to surface! It's located right on the side of my nose, where a piercing would go.
----------

What to do:

The first thing to keep in mind is what you should not do. Never try to force a deep cyst to the surface of your skin prematurely. Trying to force cysts to burst is one of the major causes of acne scars, and will often leave your face looking much worse than it did before.

There are some things that you can still do to help. Strong acne creams with 2.5% benzoyl peroxide will help speed the healing process by killing the bacteria that forms in the cyst. Anti-inflammatory treatments such as Neosporin can also help by taking some of the red out of the inflamed region. After this, it simply takes patience and the discipline not to pick at your skin. Your cysts will eventually be broken down by the body, and this usually takes less time than healing from the inflammation caused by forcing them out.

Prevention:

Cystic acne happens below the surface of your skin and has very little to do with personal hygene. Creams and cleansers will not help much at all in preventing it. You need to target your oil glands in order to counter those hormonal shifts. Start with a daily multivitamin to make sure you’re getting the minimum of essential nutrients that your body needs to metabolize oil, and then consider other supplements.

Zinc is an important mineral in regulating the activity of your oil glands, as well as being a powerful antioxidant. Taking an extra 30-50 mg per day of Zinc has helped many acne sufferers. Vitamin B5 is also a key ingredient in fighting excess oil. There are many online resources about vitamn B5 acne treatment. B5 is necessary in order to produce Coenzyme-A, which in turn is needed for the metabolism of skin oil. Supplementing with 5-10 grams of vitamin B5 (less if time-released) has helped many acne sufferers get their skin under control by enhancing oil metabolism. Since cystic acne is caused by excessive oil production, this may be exactly what you need.

If nothing else works for you, see a dermatologist, as you may need a prescription treatment such as Accutane (a vitamin A derivative that directly lowers your production of skin oil). However, this should only be a last resort, as the side-effects from prescription acne treatments can sometimes be more serious than the acne itself.

I would also drink lots of water to flush out bacteria under your skin to prevent other types of acne as well. People don't realize what wonders drinking water can do for your skin.  (+ info)
