    CF'ers in Houston TX

    I'm so happy to hear that your daughter is doing well and that she is a high achiever...I was as well! I know she will go far in life. I went to Deer Park ISD but any of the big suburban school districts would be better than Houston ISD. Kingswood, Friendswood, The Woodlands, Katy, and Cy-Fair...

    Announcing CF to the world

    rose, I'm so glad to hear you say that about your son! Also, I can completely understand why you wouldn't want medical things posted on FB. I hate FB and wish it would disappear actually...nothing good ever seems to come from it. I never really thought about posting my CF on FB but I can see...

    Getting older and gaining weight?

    I just turned 28 about a week ago and I weigh more now than I have ever weighed in my life! I know that's supposed to be a good thing for a CF'er, especially when I've had a feeding tube in the past, but I feel like my weight gain is out of control. I'm 5'3"ish and weigh about 130lbs. I've...

    Announcing CF to the world

    The whole point of Facebook is to share our lives with the world, correct? If you don't want people posting anything on their FB pages from your FB page, then don't have a FB page at all. Honestly, I wish more people would censor what they put on FB. But I have to ask...what's the difference...

    Announcing CF to the world

    I've been dealing with CF for almost 28 years now and I would have to say that somebody posting on Facebook about your child having CF should be the least of your worries. And I would have to agree with your family about this. You should want people to know about your son's CF so they may pray...

    What Do You Do For Work?
