Before Lili was dx'd she coughed all winter. It took her about a year after dx to get to a baseline where she doesn't cough unless she is sick. Right now she has a cold and is coughing all the time but it isn't that wet junky cough she had in the past.

I am known by my cough. When I am walking down one corridor at work, people will say hi to me before we even see each other because they hear my cough first. I cough a lot in a more throat clearing manner. I've never really paid attention to how often, but I have two older bros w/ CF as well and I am labeled 'the cougher' in the family.

I used to never cough. When I was in college, I acquired PA and I've coughed ever since. I also have chronic sinus problems so I attribute my cough to the continual post-nasal drip overnight. I cough a lot in the morning, but I am also very active. I can run miles and have only an occasional cough. But my dr. has commented that some patients are coughers and some are not.

I didnt cough at all when i was a kid ( except for the usual colds i got). I think i started coughing in my late teens early 20's, i truely dont remember because i didnt cough a lot at all. I started having a more common cough as i got older. When i got cepacia at 31-32 years old thats when the daily cough started. How much i cough depends on how well i am doing. Most times if i am sitting here watching tv , or if i am driving my car, i dont cough often at all. When i am active is when i cough most. Walking up a flight of stairs i breath heavily and cough sometimes once i am at the top. Walking on the treadmill i cough a bit, sometimes more than others (and sometimes not at all). Like i said, it all depends on how well i am doing. When i am well i cough probably every hour or so , maybe even every half hour ( i never took notice) When i am not well i cough a whole lot.
