I thought this was a good read. It is an older sister's perspective of her 28 yo brother's cystic fibrosis.

I really liked this article. I think Peter's view of things is what the average CFer feels/sees most of the time.

I think it covered both sides on the emotional/mental levels.

Thank you for sharing!

I can relate to Peter's viewpoint of "good enough to feel normal." I try to stick to the prescribed regiment, but trying to fit it into my work schedule definitely can feel overwhelming, and am not always so successful. I notice that when I am feeling lousier, like the last month, that I adhere more to it, because the illness feels more "real." Then again, when I do adhere to it, I miss more work, like I am doing right now! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif" border="0">

Wow. What a great article. I wish I had someone in my life years earlier who was like his sister. The part that rings so true for me is that when your lung function is 50 percent, you feel just about normal, even able to jog. I didn't take my disease seriously until it was too late. I mean I always did my meds but I didn't eat right or exercise like I should have until it was too late. Except for not being able to run, I felt normal until my FEV1 was 35 percent. I had no idea I had lost so much lung function.
