    Competitive Athlete

    I'm not quite sure what you're looking for, can you be more specific? Certainly keeping up with the electrolyte loss and hydration are super important for CF athletes. (I was a competitive runner as a kid, competed and trained horses on the professional level after college for 10 years...

    Acetylcysteine (Mycomyst) on Back Order by Manufacturer

    I think mucomyst works great too, but it does tend to make my bronchospasms/asthma worse, so I use the hypertonic saline most of the time and the mucomyst for infections.

    Swimming in lakes

    I grew up swimming in every lake, pond, ocean, and nasty invested sinkhole. Like Jonathan said, Pseudomonas is everywhere. The only thing I would really urge you to avoid are birds and rabbits- they apparently carry nasty stuff that we can get. AND when I was exposed to them for periods...

    Portrayed Life Expectancy Affecting Life Decisions

    If academics are what she loves and enjoys, by all means, let her do it. I missed tons of school as a kid since I was always in the hospital. Didnt much matter academically, because, like your daughter, I was already several grades ahead by the time I was 7 or so. (it DID matter a lot...

    Cystic Fibrosis and Menopause

    OMG, I've had early sign of menopause since I was about 35....hot flashes, night sweats, the works. Its still going on at 40. Sucks. Anyhow, still get my period here and there, just waiting for the darn things to just stop. No gray hairs yet though : ) (although both my slightly older...

    Motivation?

    My major motivation is that I want to grow old with my husband and see my kids (now ages 5 and 10) graduate from college and meet my grandchildren : ) I also LIKE being very strong and muscular and I get depressed when I cant work out.

    Chronic back pain

    I have tried chiro and holistic meds, massage, etc for over 10 years. It will help for a day or two if I am lucky. It is not feasible financially or time-wise to have 3 appts a week. A massage here and there does help with the chronic low-level pain, but very little helps with the pain...
