Me too I am like this daily and have been for years. I can't eat any carbs. My stomach blows up

I am very sorry for your loss. May memories of him warm your heart and may God hold him in his arms. God has bigger plans for him. <3

I was sick as a child: constant strep throat, ear infections, sinaus infections, tonsilities, edanoids were HUGE, bronchitis 2 x a year like clock work. Appendectomy at age 18. Tonsilectomy and adendoidectomy at age 17. As I got older my bronchitis got worse and worse until I was having 2 sinus...

wish i could help Hi I wish I could help you. I can't even meet anyone and havent been in a relationship in a long time. So, I'm battling why that even is.

wow that was inappropriate of her! When I told my sister she jumped on the phone and called all her kids and told them. I felt that was my place to do that. FB is worse though. You are a right. It is your son't choice - not other peoples.

swimming IS cardio

Something similar happened to me Hi sorry to hear about this. I had a very similar situation. I would advise the following: 1. apply for unemployment - now! Don't assume they will turn you down. Apply and get an answer. 2. Apply for disability. 3. File with the EEOC but be aware that takes...

exercising I have very good lung function and I walk 90 min a day and swim 2x a week. If I had poor lung function, it isn't just depression making you tired. It's lack of oxygen. Can you get an oxygen pack you wear so you can go out and walk? I'd try that and walk in increments. 5 min for the...

I was diagnosed at age 50 and broke down sobbing in the doctors office. I know how you feel. It depends what your gene mutation is. If you have two delta f508 s you'll be sick. Sounds to me like you have a milder gene. That's what I have. I believe I will live to be very old.

I have to agree with LL. I never put salt on my food - even as a kid. Now that I'm perimenopausal I do sometimescrave chips (for the salt) for french fries but I have never added salt to my food. I jst asked at the CF clinic if CFers require more salt and they told me no. They also said, "The...

It depends on what you are having done. I had extensive 3.5 hour surgery. EXCELLENT surgeon! Worst part was post nasal drip that made me cough after surgery. You aren't allowed to cough so I was taken to the drug store for cough meds. I had NO problems. I was home alone and was fine.The worst...

Love it!! But link doesn't work

Yes I have experienced some of those and you should get a blood and sweat test. Surprised no one tested you yet!

I was dx at age fifty. My mutation is rare and ppl usually live longer. If I didn't push the issue insisting something was wrong with me I never would have been dx. It doesn't surprise me you were dx at 73
