I'm 46, diagnosed at 38. I'm sorry to say, I don't know what my FEV is. I have no pancreatic involvement only lifelong history of lung problems. Right middle lobe removed at 6 yrs of age. Multiple sweat tests as a child. All negative. 1st positive at 22, but Dr's didn't know what to make of that. After praying for a miracle cure, I had another positive test at 38 and started on breathing treatments, vest, etc. Feeling better than I ever did before diagnosis. Several rounds of IV antibiotics which are no fun, but they seem to work.

Hi,
I will be 43 on October 1. I was diagnosed at age 35. My most recent FEV1 was at 63%. I am still working full time, but starting to have difficulties in keeping up with the pace. Uncertain as to how much longer I will be able to work full time.

I've worked as a marine bio researcher in Belize, in a biochem lab at MIT, taught bio at University, then trained horses/people and rode professionally. Now I am a stay at home mom and do a lot of volunteer stuff and write. I'm not on disability.
