You are definitely not alone. When I was 14 I started worrying about my body and the fact that everyone was trying to get me to gain weight. I was very small, but wanted to be smaller still so I wouldn't eat if I could help it. The fact that I have CF actually helped me because it was an easy...

So I'm getting a new college room mate and I'm kinda nervous! I've always had my own room and it will be nice to have company but I don't know how to explain my bathroom habits to her. I have CF so I poop. A lot. And it smells. A LOT. I've never really been embarrassed about it before but I've...

Two Words: HEAD ACHES!!!! I started waking up every morning with crazy bad headaches. I told my dr who did a sleep study straight away and it showed that my sats were dropping a lot while I was sleeping so I started O2 at night. I wake up feeling a tonne better now and much more rested so don't...

I get really bad asthma and my RT talk me a huff cough technique (there's possibly a more technical name than that!) I do it when I'm wheezing and it usually helps get something up. I breathe in as deep as I can, then breathe the entire way out and huff. Huff just like you would in normal physio...
