Cayston Time
Its was nice with my busy September that I was on my 4 "off" weeks of Cayston. It just makes traveling a bit easier not having to worry about bringing all the "stuff" and then having to be sure I'm somewhere that I can do my treatment in the middle of the day.
That being said, I've finished my 1st "on" week. I have been coughing a bit more - which I'm not sure if its cause of the Cayston, the weather changing (and my sinuses have been acting up) or from my increased exercise. I feel good just coughing some :( I've held off on the flu shot just in case its a bug. But not having my flu shot makes me nervous - I DO NOT WANT THE FLU!! I'm going to get it next week (and Will as well) just so I feel better about it.
As for exercising - I have been coughing while on the treadmill the past few times. It isn't a full out coughing fit - just more of clearing some of the cobwebs. Usually one good hack gets it out of the way and I keep on keeping on. I've started running on the treadmill...well, more of a quick jog. I fully believe that this body was not made to run (and that has nothing to do with CF)...I have short thick legs and it hurts cause they jiggle. I know, that probably put an unflattering picture in your mind - sorry! I've started slow, not going to complete a marathon anytime soon but I'm actually enjoying it. I feel energized afterwards...and hungry! My appetite has increased since I've been running (I didn't think that was possible!) and I find myself wanting to munch throughout the day.
Other than Cayston and a slight cough, not much going on. We visited Will's parents in West Virginia last weekend and had a game watch at his Aunt & Uncle's house for the WVU game. It was a GREAT time to say the least. I wish we lived closer so we could get together for every game!
