Hi all,
Just wondering if my HUGE rib cage is a CF thing, or just something that makes me special lol
My rib cage is massive. I'm 105 pounds, but I often have to wear size large shirts (too big for my skinny arms!)
I hate hate HATE it. Even before getting boobs, it is the part of my body that I would change in a second if I could....CAN I?? lol
Someone once told me that I was built like a greyhound (dog). Awwww <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

anyone else? any tips/suggestions/surgeries?

I had an abnormally tiny ribcage most of my life. This changed when I moved to The High Desert for about 2 1/2 years and lived about 3000 feet above sea level. I used to wear a size 36 bra size even though I am not petite. I have never worn one that small since. I wore about a size 42 for some time. Even after slimming down, I am still in a size 40.

As an aside: I believe I survived my serious health crisis right after I left there in part because of the increased lung capacity. People who go from a high altitude area to a low one typically experience a temporary increase in energy because of the increased atmospheric density that they are not used to. I left The High Desert the end of November of 2001 and ended up bedridden with pneumonia the following January.
