Welcome to the forum Jessica,
It is so great that you are dealing with your boyfriend's cf so well! And it's great that you want to be informed. I have to say, as a gal with cf, the best thing to know is that you loving your man is the best thing ever. I know that throughout all my hospitalizations, and treatments having my boyfriend( ex now )was amazing. Having his support and company was awesome, and he was much like you seem to be, very supportive and caring. Just one thing though, I do not know if your boyfriend feels like I did but, initially I was very self-conscious and often felt very guilty if I couldn't do something because I was sick so if he feels this way be sure to reassure him. But he may not feel this way at all because you and him have been friends first which is awesome!! If you and him are comfortable with it you can also get involved with his treatment ( ie doing his chest physio) haha and your arms will get a good workout too. Anyways I am not sure exactly what your question was but i hope that helps alittle to understand someone with cf's perspective...if you ever wanna chat, give me a shout at karenclohossey@hotmail.com

hi jessica, im 21/cf from England.
i have been with my boyfriend for four years nows. when we first got together my illness never got in the way of our relationship, because i was generally well and could do all the things i wanted to. i never had to go in hospital,or have much treatment. so my boyfriend never had to deal with it, or get involved with my cf.
In the last year or so things have changed dramatically. im no longer able to do all the things i want, which can be frustrating!!! i now rely on my oxygen more, and need alot more medication and hospital visits. because of this, my boyfriend has had to realise how serious my illness is and support me more. we are alot more closer than we were, and i now see how much he cares about me. its been very emotional for him at times, and he gets very scared and upset. we now cherish everyday we have together.when im well enough, we spend all our time together, making the most of life. my only advice for you is to be supportive, strong and understanding <img src="i/expressions/heart.gif" border="0">

All of what you said is why people ??? if one is ready to commit to someone with a chronic & fatal illness. It sounds easy to handle when you arent slapped in the face with it yet.
