didn't have my membranes stripped today
Ah ok I see what you mean about your CF. Well at least now you will have adequate treatment and can take appropriate preventative measures like the vest and hypertonic saline. But you still do have good PFTs - don't let that fact get lost. I know that you can feel like crap even with great PFTs but you are at a great advantage. How is your weight normally? If you have good nutritional status and good BMI then that is even better.
Have you thought about seeing a councilor? There are people out there who specialize in treating people with chronic medical conditions. Also, the more you learn about CF, the less scary it will become. (actually it will get more scary before it gets less scary). But I found the more I educated myself the better I felt about it all. Positive thinking and imagery can go a long way too - if you are able to lower your stress level (thereby lowering your cortisol level) your body is able to function better. Better immunity, better coping mechanisms, etc. OH I just saw on oprah that eating the right foods (those with DHA and Omega 3s I think) enabled people to cope better. I also found that I don't cope very well when I'm deficient in magnesium - I was as close as I've ever been to having anxiety attacks a few months ago. But I got everything straightened out nutrition wise and I feel SO much better.
Gotta run
