    CF liver damage in a 10year old

    I started on Actigall when I was in 5th or 6th grade. My spleen was also enlarged, but remained largely unaffected symptom-wise until I was about 25 when I would always get ascites and multiple other issues which landed me in the hospital quite a lot. Also, when I got in college had regular...

    Barrel chest

    I am 35 and I have a barrel chest also - I find it a problem when trying to buy dresses - I was recently a bridesmaid and had to buy a size 16 dress, when my normal size, like for jeans, is 6!

Also, I have MANY more lung problems when the...

    dark spots on legs

    This may seem kind of odd, but I was wondering if anyone has dark spots on their legs. The skin around my ankles started turning a very dark gray, almost black color about 10 years ago (I am 34 now). Since then, it has progressed and know pretty much from the knees down, the skin appears...

    Question

    No, I still have my lungs!I guess my CF affected my liver more than my lungs. When I was little (birth to 12 or 13 or so) I got pneumonia a lot. Then they were ok until the liver transplant. I wouldn't say they are worse <em>because</em> of the transplant, it's just that I get a lot more...
