Hi,
I was diagnosed with CF at birth, so it has always been a fact of life for me. Of course, what having CF meant to me changed drastically over the years. So, I guess I am just wondering what it was like to find out you had CF as an adult. Do you think you would have done things drastically differently if you had been diagnosed earlier in life (i.e. career, family.) As more and more people are being diagnosed as adults, I really find myself wondering how so many could have "slipped through the cracks" for so long? Were you sick often as a child? Did you have stomach problems? And (last question, I promise) what finally made your dr's think CF? So, if anyone who was diagnosed with CF as an adult would be willing to satisfy my curiosity, many thanks!<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
