Hi Aileen! How are your PFT's at your young age? Are you in pretty good shape? I'm quite a bit older than you, have lived with CF all my life. I was diagnosed at birth... I've had to undergo a double-lung transplant. Its OK though, the trans so far has added 8 years to my life! Anyway, you take care & I'd love to hear from you, 'Pat'.
Hi Pat!
I'm doing well thankfully, iv only had IV antibiotics once so I'm not usually an inpatient although my lung function has always been around the high 50s.
I was diagnosed at 3 years old and also when I was 10 I was diagnosed with scoliosis which is a curvature of the spine and that's quite severe now but hasn't started to impact my lungs yet. Unfortunately they are unable to operate and correct it because iv very low platelets. Other than that it doesn't bother me and I do loads of singing and have started recording a charity cd
Glad to hear your doing well

Oh man, that really sucks. Scoliosis runs rampant in my Wife's family. Her brother & 2 of our nieces have it. Her brother & one niece had to have the corrective surgery. I would advise that you find a way to get your platelets up so they can do the surgery. Keep singing! That is excellent work for your lungs. Best of luck with your upcoming CD. Take care, 'Pat'.

Interesting when someone makes a post asking CFers to add them to Facebook and then denies their requests...
