    Personality

    Hi, I am a 27 year old female with CF. I was diagnosed at 15 and I've grown to become a cold person, for the most part, not really able to like other people because I cannot relate to them at the core (because they don't suffer from a terrible illness). I can be friendly, extroverted and...

    I cough blood when I drink alcohol

    Hello. This used to happen to me too. Not too much but sometimes. Now that i think about it, it seems like it happened when my condition was kind of worse.. Now it's been better and it hasn't happened again, but it could just be a coincidence. Also, it never stopped me from drinking. I'd ask...
