Quick question. I know hot tubs are bad, but what exactly is the reasoning? Also, what can be done or what type of hot tub do you need to make it safe to go in as a CFer? Sorry for being short. Thanks.

Hi all! As a music major, I was interested to come across this article about one of the great romantic era composers Frederic Chopin. A 1987 article and an update in 2003 suggest that he may have died from cystic fibrosis rather than the default lung disease of the era, tuberculosis. This...

I think my heart started flipping out due to Advair last night, has anybody else had anything like this happen?

Does anybody here hold a CDL? Is it possible to hold one with cf? The web site isn't very specific as to what medical ailments disqualify one from holding a CDL. Thanks

Is anyone going to be at the Great Strides walk in Point Pleasant New Jersey on May 21?

I need to gain weight, and no matter how hard I try, I can't seem to gain a pound. What tips can you recommend for me?
