Hey guys i need some advice. I had just looked up this site tonight and i really dont know why but im glad i did. I am 6'1 135 pounds and 24. I always thought the yellowish brown orange tarish bowel movement was normal because i usually have one or two maybe solids a week, i have been doing this for i think about 5 years now but i cant really remember because i thought it was normal anyway i have been hospitalized for pnemonia 3 times in my life, age 2 , 20 and 21 and have always battled with coughs but i catch it and take antibotics before it gets to that point anymore but it seems to always come back, i also noticed a lump in both insides of my nose, i have sweaty palms and feet which seem not to get as much circulation as they should, i also have the worst smelling farts lol, and pains sometimes in my stomach area which bring me to the ground and it comes and goes about every 10-15 secs for 30 mins to 3 hours depending how long it takes me to move my bowles inbetween the 10-to 15 second let off, also with my gf we cant seem to get her pregnant and i have dry mouth alot and always have mucus i need to get out especially when im in the shower and steam is filling the room also bp is high alot and i had a thyroid and hypertension test done and it wasnt that. thats about it i think off hand and realize before tonight i thought every symtom i had was normal

Thanks guys and gals
peace love and harmony
God Bless You All

Yes, they are symptoms, but symptoms alone don't make a disease. You need to speak with your doctors. DOn't jump to any conclusions at this point.

I would usually elaborate more but am running off to bed for a long day at work tomorrow but hopefully this can get you started:

First: get a sweat test done and or blood test for CF (best to get referred to an accredited CF center, you can find them at <a target=new class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.cff.org">www.cff.org</a>)
Second: Have a semen analysis done, your family practice/primary care doctor can usually order that for you

Depending on the results of both of those things, you might have found a home and a great group of friends on this site!!!

Welcome,

sorry to hear about the troubles you've been having... i would agree they do sound eerily like cf but thats a big conclusion to come to all by yourself... good advice by julie to see a doc and get tested that way if it isn't cf you would on your way to diagnosis or at least an effective treatment for the symptoms...

best of luck and keep us posted on your progress...

U are very smart to think you might have CF. or did yu type in your symptoms and found this site?

It does not sound like you have a severe case of CF but if you do and when you get the proper treatments Boy what a difference you will feel. I hope you do not have CF and you get well.

There are many things it could be, one of which is CF. Because of this it is very important that you get tested by an accredited CF center like Julie said. Until then there is no sense in worrying. If CF is confirmed that you will belong to a fabulous extended family. Let us know what happens!
