how do u know

[iloveppls]

I'm 15 and around 95 lbs and i've been trying to gainweight but i just can't. So how do u know if you have cf or not?

well have you been sick alot before? maybe been told you have asthma?....most doctors only test if they deem it necessary, like you have serval symptoms and they cant figure out whats wrong. Dont read the symptoms here and get scared and paranoid. Its easy to do that. If your concerned about your weight ask the doctor. Maybe there is something else concerning you ask about it too. But to really know if yu have cf or not you have to have a sweat test or dna test...the dna test is very expensive and most insurances only pay for it if there is a big reason to.

I have friends who are about 15 years old and are 95 pounds. Being that weight at your age isn't highly unusual (unless you are really tall or something). Remember that bodies naturally vary.

I never got over 100 pounds until after I turned 20.

me too - I am in my 40's and I am only 110 pounds. I try to eat, but I still don't gain weight.

it's best to go to the doctor. My doctor belives I have it. Not growing fast is some one of the symptoms

Go to a doctor and ask for a sweat test. They are (usually) painless and can give you accurate results (I had one and was diagnosed in 2000 at age 9).
Good luck.
