My advice for teenagers

Yup, As a kid I was in gymnastics (actually all the way through college). I also swam very often in the summers. Even to this day I walk or bike instead of getting in the car. I am unfortunately too old for gymnastics.
<br />
<br />Even for the people who can't do gymnastics, walking to the market, or taking the stairs helps. It's just a matter of breaking the habit of sitting around all the time (admittedly hard to do when you don't feel well). The earlier you break this habit the better, so you guys in your young teens take a lesson for us old folks.
<br />
<br />I'm a big computer nerd and I will sit on the computer and make music, edit photos, design web pages etc. for hours. I have to force myself to take a break and go for a bike ride or something. Your future health might depend on breaking a few bad habits

More important advice: Don't depend too much on your doctors - they serve one master, and you're not it. Reserach natural therapies, because docs won't (no money in it for them). There are MANY that offer hope, and those that only believe in doctor's advice are missing out big time! Before the internet, such reseach was difficult, but now anyone can do it. Mother nature has many wonders that people used to use all the time before pharmaceutical companies erased the public's memory. Among the best therapies out there now is 'salt therapy in a salt room'. It's huge in E. Europe and Russia, where healing comes way before profits. Do the research.

Memberx, you make a very good point, but I would expand on it. Many people whom I have encountered here and elsewhere really don't seem to have a good grasp on Cf. What it is, how it works, what to expect. That's one of the great things about this forum, the ability to learn from one another. Many people don't learn early, though. They learn after they have a problem. Study up, CF is a complicated disease affecting multiple organ systems. You'll be much better prepared to spot problems and make decisions about your treatment if you are well informed.
