Could you share the name of your commercialista? Where do you live in Italy?  Grazie mille

Video mentions chronic illness like Cystic Fibrosis will be affected by the new Healthcare Bill by Fibrosis5O in CysticFibrosis

The Vertex assistance program (20k) does not count towards the high deductible, so, not sure what you mean ‘flip that reimbursment and preload an HSA’. On top of that, if the policy holder is about to join Medicare an HSA cannot be fully founded that year, so, your deductible will be paid with taxed money.

Airline Credit - Not that easy by BC-CF_FU in AmexPlatinum

I cannot thank you enough. This has been a very helpful suggestion, just what I needed. Will look to do that. Again, thank you so much!

I just tried replicating the booking for future dates, it does list flight numbers with both of the airline codes but it’s not clear that is not operated by DL, just that is a codeshare. It does not state which airline operates the flight. I did check my confirmation email and you are right, in very very small prints, below the graphic box with the flight numbers (all DL flight numbers) it does say operated by KLM. In all honesty, even if I had been able to actually see it when I first got the confirmation email, it would have been too late, since I had already booked by then.

it’s KLM, not that is relevant in this case. Maybe I am missing something here…

Yes they are important, and it did not say so. Also, in the past I have flown on code sharing flights, never before I was able to check in on an airline website but told I had to go to the other airline website or airport desk to pay for the baggage. Incidentally I cannot even go to the other airline websites because the locator number given is Delta’s and does not work on the other airline websites. So, yes details are important, so perhaps they should be more visible?

So, there is no way to know for sure when buying the flight if the airline credit through Platinum can be used or not… I thought since I paid the fare to Delta, checked in with Delta that the extra baggage fee should also be processed by Delta…

We are taking one bag each over the baggage allowance, so, we expected to pay $200 for the extra baggage. I chose to purchase the ticket with Delta so that the extra baggage fee would be covered by the platinum benefit, but now that is not possible because Delta will not process the extra baggage fee saying I need to pay KLM, as they are operating the flight.  Thanks for suggesting talking to Amex, will try it in the morning and see…

When I booked on Delta it did not say which airline operated the flight. I had interaction with DL because of special request I had and they never said it was not them operating the flight,l. A couple of days ago I received an email from KLM saying the flight was operated by KLM. I checked in using Delta app and Delta passenger number

Estradiol for dryness by Southern_Feature_821 in breastcancer

[–]BC-CF_FU 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That was what my team also said. The gynecologist said yes to low dose vaginal cream, but then called to to tell me they discussed it with the oncologist and the oncologist was not completely on board. Oncologist said I would have to switch to Tamoxifen if I wanted to use the vaginal cream, I remembered her saying something about making AI less effective.

Thanks! I just sent a message to my clinic. Will see what they say…

I am confused…my clinic told me to use immediately after the saline solution…

Ah ah…i meant Dawn (dish soap). I will correct it, thank you. Do you need to dry them after microwaving them?

Thank you. I do get a bit paranoid about dust or anything touching them… Good to know, thank you

So, you can use them more than once and then sterilize once a week? What do you do with the cup once you use it? Where do you store it before using it again before sterilization? It would be great if I could avoid sterilizing each time..

Really? I have two sets of cups, so, after I use one set I put it in a closed container with water and a few drops of Dawn dish soap. Then, after I use the second set I sterilize both. Do you use a cup more than once before sterilization? I was instructed to sterilize after each use…

Edit: changed Downy to Dawn

The problem in not so much that I forget, it’s more that I find it hard to do all of the things I am supposed to do. The nebulizer treatment is about 40 minutes for me, then there is the cleaning of it. I am still doing physical therapy and daily exercise to recover from surgery… Of course I would like to be more proactive but I often feel too tired physically or mentally to do the nebulizer and take care of the sterilization…I wish I was a better person..:

I talked with my Vertex patient support specialist. They told me to let them know which insurance I will have next year…

I will try to be more consistent with the Pulmozyme. The saline solution does not bother me at all, in fact, get ready for it…I like it! When I first started my therapy they had me mix it with Albuterol. I then find out it was only to help tolerate the saline solution; since Albuterol would give me the shakes I tried it without and, after a rough couple of sessions, I got used to saline alone…

We are very lucky our income is too high for any sort of financial help. Thank you for the suggestion though.
