Hi all

[cdale613]

Hello,

I came across this board recently, and have decided to stop just reading, and start contributing more. I've posted on a few topics anonymously, and thought I should go and get myself a username.

Some about me... I'm male, 25, with CF. I was diagnosed at the age of 4, after the discovery of nasal polyps. For a long time, polyps were my main problem, as they required pretty regular surgery. As I've gotten older, they seem to have become less severe. I still have multiple sinus problems. My lungs are doing pretty well... I've had very few hospitalizations, but do all the maintenence meds, vest/ pt etc.

Of course, there's more to me than CF - I am very active - I try to exercise as much as I can, I ran competitively in High School and College, and also like to bicycle. If anyone did this year's seacoast safari for CF (www.seacoastsafari.org), I was there. I also read a lot, work full time, and have a wonderful girlfriend (Christine).

Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself.

Welcome Chris! I was just diagnosed this year with CF so I've had tons of questions. Everyone on this board has been so supportive and informative, even when I ask "beginner" questions!

Hi everyone, thanks for the warm welcome!

Anon - sure, I guess you can write about me, but would prefer if you didn't use my name. I'm sure there are a lot of people here who deal really well with CF, and you won't have a lack of stories. Remember, CF is very different case to case - just because I lucked out and am more mild doesn't mean those living with more severe cases don't have amazing stories - I have more respect for them than anyone else.
