+1 for foul and frequent gas, surprise projectile mucus, and clogging toilets. Let me add that I hate having constant congestion and more boogers than anyone I've ever known, even when I'm "healthy." Seems like I must have been a puppy in a past life since my nose is always slightly wet from the very slow-draining gunk in my sinuses. I also rust everything I touch. I've borrowed tools that turn brown with rust the day after I return them, not knowing at the time how to prevent it. I was in the Marine Corps for 5 years and had a constant battle keeping my weapons from rusting. One year at the rifle range, I was qualifying on both the M16 (rifle) and the M9 (pistol). During the combat firing stage, the guy to my left ejected two red-hot ammo casings onto my neck. I still have the scars, which look like a permanent hickey. Anyway, I ended up not being able to clean my pistol because I had to be seen for the severe burns. So later a guy from my platoon comes up to me and asks what happened to my M9, since it looked like I had given it a salt bath. Very embarrassing when you are a Sergeant and are supposedly setting the high standard for weapons-handling and training. Boot camp was also quite embarrassing, as being in constant close proximity to 80+ other recruits made it impossible to hide the issues with gas and toilet-clogging. Come to think about it, it is pretty amazing that with all the contact I had with other people at boot camp, I only had pneumonia and bronchitis once during those 13 weeks. I was diagnosed at age 34 last year on Valentines Day, so it's interesting to see how much I've learned about CF over the past year. It seems like almost every day I discover something else that has plagued me for my entire life that turns out to be a CF side-effect.
