    How do you explain a tune up to your manager?

    Thanks for your reply! Coincidentally enough, I work in HR. I work for a huge company and we have great benefits, including short-term disability and FMLA (after five days), but I have plenty of PTO days still left to use, so I'm not going to go through the hassle of filing for STD/FMLA. I...

    How do you explain a tune up to your manager?

    I posted ealier this week about voluntarily checking myself in for a tune up. Well, my doctor's appointment is next week, Tuesday, and I just have this awful feeling my doctor is going to agree it's needed. (After getting over a horrible sinus infection, it's been feeling like I'm breathing...

    Have you ever checked yourself in "voluntarily" for a tune up?

    Last year around Christmas I came down with my first bout of pneumonia. I am 27, almost 28, and very blessed it has not happened until this late in my life. (I’m a Chicagoan, so I blame it on the horribly cold winter we endured.) I have only been in the hospital about five times total in my...

    How to explain CF to your coworkers...or do you?

    Hello CF community, I am new here and hoping to gain some insight into the world of other CFers. I am 27 (almost 28) and have a full-time career I am proud of. I have been fortunate, up until now, to have what doctors call a "mild" case of CF. (Mild despite having the most severe mutation.) I...

    Time Management

    I need advice... I'm finding it very hard to balance my time these days. And when I say them out loud, my responsibilities don't seem too demanding, yet I find myself getting exhausted and overwhelmed. On a daily basis I have to work (your standard 8 hours), exercise, do my breathing...

    Exercise, and cystic fibrosis

    I had to respond to this just because I love working out and I attribute my very good health to it. I have cystic fibrosis but I push myself everyday to run, do some type of other cardio or at least put in my Bosu ball DVD! There are days when I'm exhausted but if I don't work out, I don't feel...

    Life Insurance!!

    This is a very ironic topic for me. I work for a life insurance company and I have cystic fibrosis. I have not been able to purchase a policy, however for some protection, I have accidental death insurance. It's very inexpensive and covers my family if something were to happen to me...
