I'm sure you know this but a good physician will closely track your lung function and on a dip will get a sputum test done and then get you on the right antibiotics asap. That is a very important part of CF treatment that does need regular trips to the clinic. BTW I'm glad you're doing so well :-)

Thanks :-)
