This is sort of a stupid question but, why was the show called "Will I Still Love My Mum?" What about getting a lung transplant would make them NOT love their mothers LOL? Maybe it's the sort of thing that is explained in the show itself.

"Did the post say that she made a post that called someones dad an idiot? "-- quoted from JenniferNJ Nope, I tried to post a response about night sweats (and I don't think I've ever called anyone an idiot on here, as far as I can remember). When I clicked 'Reply To Topic', a message loaded onto...

I don't have night sweats all the time; when I do have them they tend to indicate brewing infections. Often for me they are accompianed by moaning in my sleep.

I'm BaaaaAAAAck!! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0"> Thanks everyone for your kind words and support-- it was very upsetting to be banned from posting, especially with the bizarre message I received about it.

Here's a modified poem (originally written when I had my first BM), for Erin: I'm one month and 15 days Now here's the scoop I'm on my way! I made a poop! I'm so glad Erin 'went'! Congratulations are in order!

Happy birthday Luke! Have a great day! Coincidentally, it's also my best friend's sixteenth birthday today- I'll eat some extra cake for you! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Hi, Let me start by giving you a bit of background info on carriers. About one in 20 caucasians are carriers of the CF gene. Carriers exhibit no symptoms (though there are rare instances of symptomatic carriers), and aren't considered to ahve CF. What your carrier status means for your children...

My mom (SeasonsOfLove) and I would be glad to answer any questions you have about teenage girl/mom CFer relationships, if you are interested <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

I always bring all medical supplies carry on with me. But that would be very hard for one person to haul around the airport! Maybe you can call the airline and ask for assistance in getting yourself and your stuff on and off the planes?

I don't think sweat tests can have false positives, but false negatives are definitely possinble, so I would take thefrogprincess's advice and also get a genetic screening. Good luck!

Happy birthday!<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Thanks Jennifer, I can assure you I am only sixteen <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">. As for my wisdom 'putting you to shame', remember that I have 13 years of living as a CF patient on you <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">... you sound...

I'm not sure about the healthfulness of an indoor waterpark (although if they do monitor the pool that often, it robably isn't too harmful, I;d be more concerned about molds growing in the damp place), I have to say... am I the only person who has nevre heardof an indoor waterpark before?

I just read this recipe, and it sounds delicious! Mac and cheese with bacon makes 2 servings 1/2 cup grated monterey jack cheese 1/2 cup grated sharp Vermont cheddar cheese 1/2 cup grated mild New York cheddar cheese 1/8 cup grated Parmesan 1/2 cup heavy cream 1 tablespoon unsalted butter 2...

Out of curiousity, what is the difference between a Nissen and a fundoplication?

I agree the child should still be tested. I read a very interesting article in the Times a few monthds ago about this college course where students can get their DNA broken down into specifically where they came from and a detailed picture of their ancestry ( I am kind of wording this poorly)...

I've heard of it, I he was a very strange guy though. He was, as the title claims, a 'supermasochist'. I think part of his "art" was physically hurting and torturing himself. I wonder if the movie has parts about CF in it too, not just about his masochism

I am the only known case of CF in my family. As for us CFers being related, I believe the CF gene can be traced back to one person hundreds of thousands of yeras ago, so we are all VERY distant relatives.

Very nice poem, I like it a lot. "No more gently going, Into that good night"--A little bit of Dylan Thomas' influence perhaps?
