Kate and Grendel,
I have CF too and know that yes, it sucks and at times I have had thoughts about giving up---but please remember that everyday is a new day.
What you are upset about today, may not be the same as what you are upset about tomorrow. True, CF is an everyday experience, BUT everyday also brings new things, different challenges, different joys and different sorrows. NO DAY IS THE SAME and it is up to us to look for that joy in each day.
Some days it maybe something so simple as; I don't have to worry about doing home IV's instead I ONLY have to worry about doing my meds and my treatments or I am thankful that I can go to the bathroom normally--as I have had several bouts with blocked intestines and at times unable to do this.
I don't want to lecture, b/c I HATE when people tell me what I should/should not do, but I do appreciate advice and sometimes getting a different perspective on things and its up to me if I want to use this advice or not.
CF will cause ups and downs and goods and bads, but in the long run it ultimately is how we live each day that makes the difference. cindy
