Does she have any career goals for the future? I often think that it would be a good thing for those of us working with CF or that have families would be encouraging if we could hook up with some teen CFers, both as a model and to answer questions. I know that's more online stuff as opposed to active friendship, but maybe it would help get her to begin taking her meds and thinking positively about her future. I'm a teacher, and I know there are many others with careers out there that would be able to encourage her. Just a thought. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

I do a lot online and so does my son with CF. It's a means to interact with people without them giving me their germs. I used to criticize my son for not having enough "real" friends and he called me on that one and pointed out that a lot of my friends are online friends and they are no less real to me than folks I know face-to-face. He told me bluntly he HAS friends, they are online but it still is meaningful to him.

My son was not cooperative when we were pursuing conventional treatments. He is cooperative with the alternative stuff we have been pursuing in recent years.

While I dont have any advice to offer other than what others have already put forward,I thought you might like to post this on the adult section and get some feedback from them <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
