    Getting a Job

    I tried to get SSI, but I was too healthy. I even didn't do so hot in my breathing test they sent me for. I know that's awful, but I could have really benefited from it at the time... I don't get why some people get it but I can't???

    going away

    If you don't go through something, you aren't going to understand what it is. I feel dumb a lot reading other people's posts... And if I'm curious enough, I'll come right out and ask... I don't think anyone here thinks you are dumb... I think everyone here is patient and willing to explain.

    Ladies Only - Your Cycle and Your CF

    I don't know if this has already been done or not, but I was wondering about what all you ladies on here go through during that time of the month. I know that my lung function drops, and my stomach cramps so bad that I can't do my vest - the movement just kills me. Jenna, 25 w/ CF
