Hi Im 15/f/nc and i dont have CF BUT my boyfriend does......hes absolutely amazing and i love him with all my heart and the fact that he has CF has no affect on me at all ....i am just wondering if it somehow will have an affect on our relationship no matter if i say it wont or what, i dont no much about CF besides the basic facts of having to go thru breathing treatments and take all sorts of meds and i no about the vest nd stuff and the life expectancy, which terrifies me. But i was just wanting to no a little more from a person with CFs point of veiw ....b/c i think id get a better perspective from you all instead of just reading about it..ive tried asking my bf but i cant b/c i cant stand talking about his disease with him b/c every time i do it reminds me that i might lose him when hes only 30 and i never want that to happen...i want him to live a full life...i want u all to live a full life <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">......me and my bf are even hoping to get married in a couple years, and i no we r young but i mean with him having CF and all theres no telling how easily he could die at 30 or 32 so we want to spend as much time together as possible, he said he knows im the one lol , cuz most gurls when they hear "disease" they run....and im sure a lot of guys with CF have had that happen and im sure a lot of people with CF have been made fun of...and i wanna apoligize for all those people b/c no one knows what its like to have CF except for the ones who have it and go thru all that yall go thru...and i no im just rambling on lol but i just wanna no n e thing yall can tell me about CF.....just n e thing.....and thank you so much for reading my long n boring post! lol

hey, i'ma 15/f/ny and i have CF. and i can feel for your boyfriend and yourself. it is really stressful and can sometimes affect relationships. i'm so happy to hear though that you love him no matter what! thats good to know <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> and to try to help anwser your question..lol well CF affects every one diffrently I used to get sick really often untill i started to see a specialist and now i am doing good and have a 90% lung function and when i started going i had only a 32%...I think though you should talk to your boyfriend about it...he has had to live with it all his life and it can be hard to talk about but it sounds like you have a strong bond with him and it can also be very very helpful to talk things through. I never used to say a word to anyone then i had a party with some of my friends and we got on emotional subjects and then i kinda blurted things out but after that it felt better somehow, try not to think of him only living to his 30's...its still a while away and lots of us will live past that. My doctor said that most people now are gaining into their 50's now! so try not to get upset because the outlook is getting better every year! much luck to both of you! i hope i helped!

Oh god i know exactally how you feel. I'm the girlfriend of the most wonderful boyfriend in the world and he has cf. I've been with him for over two years he's 22 and i'm 21. In those two or so years we've been through alot and i know exactaly what you mean about the thought of him dying terrifies you cos it terrifies me to. i wrote a post on the adult section saying about counseling you should read it its good. I guess we just have to hang in there and say to ourselfs that it might not turn out as bad as we think i mean i could get run over by a truck tomorrow we really don't know whats going to happen and i also think we meet these people for a reason so we can stick by them through the hard times. its. I'm going to a bit of a rough stage at the moment of the thought of lossing him when i know he's the one i want to spend the rest of my life with but agin i have to think if i'm feeling like this he must be ten times worse because he's the one having to go through it all but hopefully this feeling will pass soon. Buts its soo good to know there are other people out there who know how we're both feeling.
