not sure what i can really offer as far as names. i know i was diganosed in washington d.c. by a doctor matthews, but that was back in '78. i know that the d.c. hospital was well equipped for cf in its day. i also lived in kent island, maryland, but i'm not sure where i went for care then, i moved from md when i was 5. i'll put a call into my dad tonight and see where i went while we lived there, if we had a clinic close, or if we made the trek to d.c. each time.

Some doctors are completely ridiculously uneducated to the possibilities of CF that isnt the 'typical' case.
Please see my blog entitled AMbry Genetics of information on the CF Amplified test.
Definately have them call one of the CF accredited centers and decribed their plight to the director who should either bring htem in for another sweat test and consult or genetic test or refer them to someone who can help.
