    Clinic visits?

    I have gone every 3 months since diagnosis as a baby. I have always lived 2 hrs away from the clinic. I go more if I am sick and unfortunately, with all my other CF complications I see other docs in between the 3 months as well. Needless to say, I know the drive VERY well. Dea 32 w/CF
