well for the telling people i only tell my really close friends.
To make up the work i missed i e-mail all my teachers while i'm in the hospital and have my mom pick up all my work.
When i get back and people want to know why i was in the hospital i just tell them i just have to go in about once a year and its no big deal. It often works and if people ask why i say just cuz.
Oh and for the enzymes i try to hide that i am taking them. If someone does ask i just say that my body doesnt make the stuff that digests food so i have to take it

1. Yep I talk to my friends about CF. Not all of them understand so I kind of hurts. So the ones that do listen, I usually talk to them one on one. Sometimes I hate when they actually find out how scary it is.

2. I know what you mean by teachers. They don't get it. I have a couple of teacher that do though. I just deal with it, I know that wasn't helpful

3. Well, just tell I have cystic fibrosis. Its a respitory diease. If you want to know go to www.cff.org

Thats what I tell them. Unless there good friends then I have to give the whole thing....

And I was never sick, but they still knew what i had. Now im a junoir in highschool, at a magnet school at that. I have missed a ton of school due to being in the hospital. Its because Ive been coughing up blood, and yes my friends know every single bit of this.

2. <b>When you miss school, how is the best way to make up the work?</b> truthfully, i dont care about school right now. yes i try but not my hardest bc i know ill miss school the next week ya know ?

3. <b>If I don't want to talk with someone about CF, and they ask you a question like, "Why do you always take those pills?" or say, "You were in the HOSPITAL?!?! OMG WHY??" </b>

No almost all my friends know I have CF. they are very supportive as well. I go to an online school so I don't have to deal with missing school, but talk to your teachers they should be there for you. With the pills just say something like "vitamins, I like to stay healthy". Or when you go to the hospital just say "I was in for a tune up, but nothing to worry about".

I went through the stage where I did not want people to visit me in the hospital because of comments like "You have to go in again". I realized that not having support of your friends is harder then just saying "yes, I have CF". It does help to explain CF to them and let them know what it is and why you have to go in.

Good luck and be strong.
