Heya ladybuggirl! Good to have you here! I'm 40, diagnosed with CF at 3 months of age. Been in and out of the hospital a lot until I hit 18 and then have done all my care at home. Thankfully I have a very supportive husband, we're coming up on our 23rd year together! I have two daughters, ages 6 and 10, both gymnasts. We live in SW Virginia (think Virginia Tech area). I've had a lot of pulmonary and GI complications over the years, as well as metabolic. Doing pretty well right now. I'm a stay a home mom, do a lot of volunteering, some teaching, used to be a professional rider/trainer, and in my previous life, an animal behaviorist/ecologist. : )

Hi Melissa -Welcome to the forum. I'm fairly new to this site as well - I was diagnosed with CF in January of 2012 at the ripe old age of 57. This forum has been a source of strength and support. Before me, I never new ANYONE with CF - and very uneducated about the disease. Anytime I have a question, I post and so many people are kind enough to respond. I know it's frowned upon - but some day I'd like to meet some other cfers in person. Does anyone know if that ever happens?
