    what are the chances of having two rare CF genes?

    Did the grandmothers cousin know their genes? I'm not sure what to say.. seeing as I've had borderline - positive sweat tests and low elastase in stool samples, so I have a clinical dx of CF without knowing my genes. I don't have any of the top 92 either, but bc I'm in the UK, they don't do the...

    Late Diagnosis

    Me too.. similar story as diagnosed at just gone 19. Was fobbed off and diagnosed with all sorts before a sweat test was done. Pancreas insufficient (thought I had IBS) and diffuse lung disease ("asthma/allergies/low immune system") X

    Morning Blood Sugars

    I reckon you need to increase the protein and fat and decrease the carbs a little more. More calories also, because you do need to load up at the start of the day after all night with no food! If you don't like to eat alot in one sitting, then there's absolutely nothing wrong with having a mid...

    scandi-shakes

    Sorry I can't help you with the scandishakes (I'm in the UK) but can I suggest making a homemade version (can be as many if not more calories!)? A blend of his fave ice cream, milk, cream, and stuff like cookies/peanut butter/banana/even oil can all go in to a machine or blended with a...

    on-going fever's

    On a different note - a hyperactive thyroid is known to cause a higher than normal basal temp. This might be why she is a bit on the high side - due to the increased metabolism. Night sweats are very common in Hyperthyroid patients also. Of course, infection and inflammatory processes are...

    Heart Problems

    Hi, I think the faster metabolism of cf along with any thyroid stuff will naturally mean that your heart rate is faster, without being a real worry. As some of the others here have said, I find my healthy baseline pulse is about 80-110. I've always been a 'fast beater' and even when very very...

    How many calories do you get per day?

    I've always been lucky to have a very big appetite but I don't know what my body does with all the food! When I'm not very active and well, I get by on 2500-3000... when I'm less well or more active, that goes up to about 4000-5000. I'm 5'1 and now 98 lb which I've got up to from 85lb by doing...
