my name is annie and I am 21 years old living with cystic fibrosis, cf related diabetes and cf related arthritus and I really really really need some advice/support/help. I went to the doctor last week and they told me that if I don't get a g-tube placed chances are I wouldn't live very much longer. I had a tube when I was younger, from birth until I was 13 when I had it removed and I remember how much I hated it. Thinking about having that back in and everything I went through with it completely devistates me, so much so that right now I feel like I would rather die then get it back in. My nutritionist says they are much different from the big button I used to have and that I will feel ten times better then I do right now. I weigh roughly 100lbs and can't stand eating and all of the counting calories pressure I have on me. If anyone, especially adults could give me some information about having a tube I would really appreciate it. I haven't stopped crying since I found out and I have to say I am emotionally exhausted. When I think about having the tube back in it makes me feel like my life is over anyways. PLEASE HELP!!!
