Indeed I am a girl (Maybe it's unclear from my posts, but I'd be a hugely feminine boy if I was one). It seems to be confusing to a lot of people, so no offense taken. Figuring out what enzymes to take is a balancing act. I tend to take more with fatty meals (although not with fettucine...

I've been forcibly told to bathe as well. I was maybe 2 days after getting my G-Tube placed, and aside from having the recuperation from that, I was on IVs AND oxygen. In a nutshell, I was surrounded by tubes and had trouble manuevering myself. One morning, my mom had to step out for a little...

Shavronica, I LOVE LOVE LOVE milk too! I go through a half a gallon a day at least. I don't drink any soda, but I drinks tons of chocolate milk and water, plus tea and juice. I like steak, lasagna, fettucine alfredo, ravioli, chicken, bacon, cereal, cheese and more..

I was thinking about you and your little girly today. How did it go? Let us know <img src="i/expressions/heart.gif" border="0">

Dave! Are you out there? You haven't posted in awhile, and Emily and I were just wondering where you went. How's married life treating you? Hope all is well and that you come back!

You may get more information by looking at the past posts about getting pregnant with CF, also HollyCatheryn has a website all about getting pregnant/being pregnant with CF. Good luck <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

You may also want to look at the fact more and more CFers are going for lung transplant a 'treatment' option, so to speak. I feel as if I've been hearing of more and more post TX CFers on here

Cipro is nice when it works for me... but whether it works on my lungs or not, it always gives me the WORST joint pain! Anyone else?

There's also Miesl (I don't remember her real life name at the moment, but that is her username)

Carrie, WE are a very talkative bunch. If you register as a user, you can use the chatroom- we have some very nice and lively conversations in there <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

I wanted to second what Maria and Julie said. As scary as it is to find out that you have a chronic, life altering illness like CF, it is much more dangerous to run away from the facts, no matter how frightening they are. Treatment will make you feel better and give you a larger chance at a long...

I've never had pets. Not really because of CF in itself, but because of allergies, and also, living in NYC when I was younger, most buildings had a no pet policy anyway. I love dogs, but am allergic to cats. Now that I'm older, I don't really have a large enough desire for a pet to get one. I...

Unfortunately a clear x-ray does not indicate no CF. In fact, a few days ago Emily and I were being nerdy and reading studies about CF, and came upon one called "X-Ray Results in CF: Who Cares?". The vibe was that an x-ray is not always indicitive of lung involvement in CF. Also if you have a...

David, Amen.

I cannot wait to tell all my friends (Dorothy, Abby, Jason, Jake, Dan, Merrill, Brendan, Zach, Harrison, Steph, Steve, Victoria, should I go on?) that despite being good hearted, kind, funny, smart, loving people that they are going to burn in Hell for being Jewish. If this is your belief, than...

I hear you Julie. Rider, I don't think anyone thinks it is a bad thing that you have YOUR faith in YOUR life-- that is actually a great thing for you, for your comfort, moral guidance, etc. This does not mean that on a board about CF, it needs to be discussed and brought up repeatedly. There...

That is true, Rider, there are several active threads about this under adult and family sections.

I don't think there's a way to delete a thread, but if no one posts in it for a time, it gets further and further down the list of threads.

This Thursday at my school band concert, I was coughing while I was putting my flute away and this weird kid goes "You should really quit smoking". I didn't have the breath to tell him about CF and stuff, so I just rudely shook my inhaler very obviously in his face. Stuff like that bothers me...

It is a silly contest, no one wants to win, but I'm sort of interested in how often people around my age have been in the hospital.
