I am now 31...almost 32. I have always known about my CF...and even to the extent that I could die at a young age with it. It made me fight harder to live a normal life. I was always a curious child and loved to read...so I was always reading about CF...I would find anything I could about it...

I am a mom with CF. My daughter just turned 7 this month. I think she does quite well. I have tried to explain to her the best I can and as much as I can about CF without scaring her. Right now, I dont believe she is under much stress....thank goodness! Can I ask how old is your daughter...

Actually, high cholesterol isnt a big thing with CFers...because our bodies dont digest anything properly...including fats. I know each individual with CF is different...but someone with digestive probs...doesnt really have to worry about high cholesterol. Thats why the docs recommend foods...

I think it is great that you all are living life to the fullest...as you should. I am 31...and still plan on living for a long time. I am doing the best I can to stay healthy and even raising money for CF through "Great Strides". But, on the other hand....I get scared from time to time. As...

Hi Mary, I will be 32 and have worked full time since I was 18...and even part time since I was 16. It has only been this last year and a half that I have not been able to work full time anymore. I havent felt well for a while and had quite a few problems last year. I believe I made the...

Hey all, I see there are 7 people logged in...wanna chat? Dea (31 w/CF)

I have found for me that a letter writing campaign is the best way to receive donations. Our local walk is in April and this is my 4th year. I raised $1,750 last year. I send letters to everyone I can possibly think of...including the local businesses. You would be surprised at the response...

I have to agree with Jarod on this one. I am a member of the Cystic Fibrosis 2 Chat....and there is bickering there as well. I am almost 32...so considered an older CFer. The other site is a good site though...there is lots of support there. I think anywhere you go though, there is going to...

I will be 32 in July and I also have a double delta F508..and doing quite well. My lung function remains in the low 70s. I have lots of sinus probs. I developed CF related diabetes in October 1998..just 6 months after the birth of my daughter (who is CF free). But overall, I feel I am doing...

I didnt like the ending to Boogeyman either...kinda leaves ya hanging....It was good though! Dea

It is funny because they say the Double Delta F508 is rare...but on this site and another...I have met alot of people with it. I am one...along with my brother. Both of us have mild lung disease...my lung function is about 70%. I have terrible sinus problems...have had 6 sinus surgeries..and...

I take 2...one with breakfast and one with supper. Dea

Hey there, I am 31 w/CF and a brother who is 24 also with CF...a sis in between us without. You cannot stay away from your brother entirely. Like the last poster said...just be careful. Make sure you dont drink after each other..and other things like that. I have been around my brother all...

I am 31...was diagnosed at just a few months old. My mom and dad both smoked around me and my brother (also with CF) when we were kids. I still dont understand why they did it. It makes me mad too about smoking in restaurants and bowling alleys. I cant even go bowling without being around...

I ve always lived in a house with a gas stove and have never had a problem with it. Unless there is a leak...there really shouldnt be. Dea

Hey guys, I'll be 32...and I still get carded! Some people look at me funny too when they see my daughter who is 7. I get dirty looks because they think I'm too young to have a daughter that age. It used to bother me alot...but I'm just thankful to be alive! Dea

Guess I'll be doing some trampoline jumping then. My daughter got one for Christmas. We are waiting on it to warm up before we put it up. We live in Illinois so it is still cold here. I too would trade in walking for the trampoline! Thanks for the info! Dea

I also take acidophilus on a daily basis. Between prednisone and antibiotics, my mouth absolutely kills me without taking it. It has helped me sooo much! Dea

CFRD is CF related diabetes Dea

I just wanted to say...that those who are referring to the 76 yr old with CF...is this Katharine Shores you are referring to? If so...sadly she passed away this past November. It is in the latest publication of CF Roundtable. Dea
