I am 31...32 in July. I am glad to be alive! I have enjoyed my life...it has not been perfect...but it has been mine. Without CF, I would not have met the wonderful CF friends that I have now. I have other friends as well....but there is something different about my CF friends. They are...

I am 31 and never really developed in the boob area. I wear an A cup. There are days it bothers me, but overall I just try to remember that it doesnt matter. It used to bother me more....but when I was about 14, my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer and had to have a mastectomy. 2 years...

I used to feel good. About a year and a half ago...I started having lots of sinus probs, then kidney probs, then more digestive probs. My CF arthritis has become worse...it just seems like everything went downhill all at once. I honestly havent felt "good" since. My breathing has suffered as...

I also have a cat...and have had pets my whole life. Im now 31...and have never had problems with having them around! Dea

Im also a mom with CF. I am 31 and have a beautiful almost 7 yr old daughter! She is the light of my life! My lung function was in the low 80s when I became pregnant. Im now in the low 70s..so still doing ok. I did get CF related diabetes within 6 months after having her...but she was worth...

I do have a suggestion other than golytely..because I know from experience how nasty that stuff is. The last time I did a clean out, my doc prescribed VISICOL. It is a tablet that you take 3 every 15 minutes for 2 hours with 8 oz of clear liquid. It is so much easier to take than golytely and...

I am 31...and look much younger as well. I have a daughter that is almost 7. When she was born people would look at me like " Look at that girl with a baby!" It was funny! Dea

This is not going to help...but to let you know that you are not alone. I am 31 with the same problems....I have been having so many problems with constipation. I only take 2 enzymes (Ultrase MT 18) w/meals and 1 w/snacks. I take miralax and a stool softener on a daily basis. The golytely...

Just want to say...Thanks Jarod Dea

That person knew what kind of responses they were going to get. To the last poster...I believe I can give my opinion as well! For your information, I do have a brother WITH CF as well...and he also uses drugs. So believe me, I'm not clueless. It is not a shock to me at all...I will NEVER...

I'm sorry...I dont know what kind of response you could have expected from a question like that. Knowing that you have CF...why in the world would you want to use anything that you know is going to harm you. I am not normally a rude person...but that kind of question just bugs me to no end! I...

I dont believe that it is any easier as you get older. I have known all my life about my CF..was diagnosed as an infant. I am now 31. I have different problems now as I get older. There are more things that come into play as an adult...being work, family, etc. I am a mom with a job and...

I feel the same way also. My last visit I just knew my pfts were going to be lower. They hadnt dropped but just a couple ...which is nothing. My FEV is about 70%...and there are times I feel like they are much lower. I see just a slow drop each time I go...<img...

I am one of those women...I am 31 with a 6 (almost 7)yr old daughter(CF free). It took me almost 2 yrs to become pregnant. I had become very stressed about it...and then decided it just wasnt meant to be. About 6 mos after that...I became pregnant! My lung function was in the low 80s when I...

I am also an adult with CF. I want to give a positive outlook on this subject. I agree that I would not want anyone to have this disease, but this is a decision only you and your husband can make...not anyone on this board. I want to say..that I would not have held it against my parents if...

Actually...CFers tend to get Type II diabetes. You dont get diabetes from eating too much sugar. I have been a CF diabetic now for 6 yrs. You can keep blood sugars down by not eating all the sugar foods...but you cannot prevent it. It just depends on the damage of the pancreas. Type I is...

Hello everyone Just wanted to ask if anyone knew of a good sinus doc that deals strictly with CF patients. Ive had 4 sinus surgeries already this year...with no help. My doc is talking another one after the first of the year. The headaches are almost unbearable. I like my doc...I just dont...

Well... Dr.Rosenbluth is the head of the Adult CF clinic at Barnes. Barnes is on the top 10 list of best transplant centers if that helps any. I believe he is very up to date on new meds and new research. They are constantly asking people to participate in research projects. How far away are...

I see Dr.Rosenbluth as well in St.Louis. I live in Illinois and travel about 2 hours to St.Louis. I am very pleased with the care I get at the CF clinic there. Good Luck! Dea 31 w/CF and CFRD
