    Judging Hurts

    I am a guy so it is a bit difficult for me too. I am 135 lbs and I have a G-Tube myself but I am pretty scrawny even still. Although I am not really ashamed of the G-Tube deal, I am worried about my male peers looking at me when changing out of my gym clothes. I don't have much muscle and also...

    Kalydeco - insurance approval?

    I am waiting on the medicine myself. I was told that in 5 weeks (as of 2/7/12) the drug will come out to pharmicies. Hopefully my insurance as well as many others, will be approved to have the drug taken and covered. I have a personal belief that with all the good that this drug will help us...

    What song do you relate your CF fight to

    Not only do I use this particular song in common day life but also with my CF. The song is entitled, Lucky Man, written by Montgomery Gentry from Kentucky. It shows me that I just gotta shove all the bad stuff aside and try to make things better. Just sort of let the bad roll off my back. Here...

    What is your FEV1 Score?

    I am 16 (birthday's in a couple of days) and after just being released from the hospital for I.V. meds roughly 1 week ago (as of Wednesday), I was at a dissapointing 87. Usually at 90 or above usually. Hopefully though, after tomorrow my PFT will be back up to 90 and above.

    Do you feel blessed to have CF to a degree?

    I apologize if I have made a some people angry as that was never my intention. Personally I just look at my life and am happy to be living each and every day. Simply put the best of my energy to good use. Granted I have bad days myself, and I get p.o.ed with all the crap (for example I just...

    Do you feel blessed to have CF to a degree?

    I know some of you may beat me up because of this but here is my reasoning. Okay I was born pre-mature at 3 months early, diognosed at in May or so and have been doing all I can to keep myself healthy. As I have grown to currently an almost 17 year old young man, I feel blessed to actually have...

    Coughing!

    It is tough for me, although I don't surpress a cough, I cover my mouth with my arm and just cough like heck. I find that if you are coughing too much that you start to get lightheaded, pale, and feel like you are about to pass out from violantly coughing, just take slow, easy, breaths through...

    Judging Hurts

    I am a junior in High School currently so I go through this stuff every now and then. Often times when my lungs are kinda junky due to the bad weather, a cold or flu, or something kids sorta make fun of me or yell at me to stay away from them in fear that I am contagious. Every year I have to...
