Hi
I added this onto someone else's blog originally because I didn't know what I was doing. Hope this is more appropriate here
You folks are so smart, I was hoping you had advice.
I am new here and was shocked when my immune Dr. sent me for a sweat test. There were results, but they had to do it twice in one day, and honestly I doubt there was enough from one arm and nothing from the other to test. He then did a common genetics test. It was normal. My question is the opposite here. I appear to have all the symptoms. Bronchiectasis, lung problems, chronic bronchitis, just had gallbladder surgery, and am really having bad GI problems. Should I get the full ambry test? If it shows nothing, should I then feel relieved and not worry? The reason I ask this is that I see the issues I have as found with CFers. I am 54 now. I always had the lung problems and the bronchiectasis appears to have been there from birth said the Dr. Can anyone provide input here? I don't want to appear a worrier, but I get so sick all the time. I am on antibiotics for????due to chronic sinusitis. I don't know what future help there is for me, antibiotics and prednisone aren't helpful now. I believe something should help me, but I really wonder, could I have CF? I have this on the back of my mind because my Dr. did for so long.
Thanks,
NZ

don't worry about appearing to be a worrier. who cares what other people think. at the end of the day, it's your health and no one has more interest in your health than you!

get a full panel ambry test for sure. you'll always wonder if you don't.... i think it would be great for piece of mind. if it's negative, great! if not, then you finally have a direction to go in to treat your symptoms.

Hi NZ. I'm sorry you are going through so much. I think you should definitely get the full panel test. There are more and more people being diagnosed late in life. Even if your tests are negative, it sounds like you might benefit from some of the treaments for CF. I hope you find the answers you need. Let us know what happens.
