In my opinion, based on what you describe it sounds unlikely you have CF. Even taking into account a less severe presentation of the disease, I think you'd have to have one or more of the following: copious amounts of thick mucus from sinuses and lungs, severe sinus infections, sinus polyps...

I meant to mention in my earlier response that my CT scans almost consistently show atelectasis in the lingula. I was under the impression that it was from mucus plugs. When airflow gets blocked, these collapses happen. I have had exacerbations cause atelectasis AND atelectasis cause...

For what it's worth, I was told I had asthma for decades because of persistent wheezing and crackling noises. Yet, my PFTs were fantastic and I didn't really prove the dx with the pre and post bronchodilator spirometry. (I do prove it with the methacholine challenge where you breathe in an...

Interesting... I think I lean more toward anger and self pity. One of the biggest challenges for me is figuring out what is and isn't in my control, so I understand where you are coming from. ((HUGS))

I am looking for a study I found a couple years ago that stated what percentage of people with CF have bronchiectasis by 18 yrs of age. I think remember it being 90%, but I cannot find the darned study. I do believe it was based on high res CT scan, which detects much milder bronchiectasis...

Teachers! Meet them. Find out it they are planning to stay. (I got burned on that once when splendid teacher left 2 weeks into the preschool yr. and apparently parents not new to the school like me knew this would happen!) Sometimes a school has a very charismatic principal or leader, but...

Blythe, I am so happy for you that your daughter is out of the hospital and that her PFTs are on the upswing. It sounds like your CPT and postural drainage are working great! Maybe that just works better for her than the vest? Or maybe all the antibiotics have lowered the inflammation and...
