Carriers symptoms..?
- Thread starter helena
- Start date
I am also a carrier of cf. My brother died at the age of 6 32 yrs ago. He was very sick
. This is the 1st ive heard of symptoms of cf carrier. I also have AutoimmuneThyroiditis. I have had a severe cough for over a yr. I go to er yearly to get breathing treatments. Severe broncitis they say.My thyroid disease took a turn for the better on the weight loss but i have a hard time sleeping due to cough, goiter, constantly hacking up phlegm. I think dr.s need to do less learning in school n start listening to there patients. They would learn more.We know our body!

When I was first tested for CF mutations, in late 1990's there were only 250 known mutations. I only tested positive for Delta F508. Since that time, many new mutations have been discovered. There are almost 2000 known mutations. Depending upon when you were tested, a new test, a FULL CF SEQUENCING, should be done.
All testing MUST be done at an APPROVED CF CENTER by a CF SPECIALIST, not your local Doctor.
