Greetings from Germany

Hello everybody,
my name is Melanie and I´m 25. And I live in Germany. I thought it would be a good idea to join a forum from another country because I wonder if everything is "the same" (therapy, medication,...) than in Germany. And maybe be can give each other tips or advice.

Here are some facts about me: I´m married for 2 years now and I have a little Jack Russel dog.
Doctors found out that I have CF when I was about 9 or 10 years old. I never had any problems (lungfunction 100%) and so I did less therapy and "ignored" CF ... until I was 21. Then I got so ill, that I was in a coma for 4 weeks and most of the docs didn´t think I would survive. I had sepsis, lungbleeding, pneumonia and I got a tracheotomy. But of course I DID survive. I´m not in such a good health than I used to be but I´m feeling good and I´m happy, and of course now I do a lot more therapy.

That´s all for now. Have a nice weekend!

Welcome! I also neglected my health for many years thinking that it was ok because I didnt feel the immediate affects.

Now I dont have that luxury!

We have a at least one German member so far. Many from all over the world.

I hope you find loads of information that is helpful to you!

Hugs...

Welcome and so nice to meet you. I hope you find this site helpful.
I have a Jack Russell too. Her name is Zippy (husband named her before we met). And I have a Chihuahua.
I'm 29 with CF. My lung function shows moderate disease. I've been married for 4 years and have 5 step-kids. Call me crazy!

Have a great day, Melanie!

Hi Andrea,
Thanks for taking the time to let us know about you and what your life is like with CF. I'm so glad you found this site and are excited about participating here. It really is a great place. I've found it to be one of the best sites available for offering support as I deal with CF.

Congratulations on 14 years of marriage. My husband and I just celebrated our 4th in July. I believe that God hand-picked us for each other. He has been more than wonderful in terms of being a supporter and a teammate in this battle against CF.

You can learn more about me and my interests by visiting my blog here or the other ones. Here are their links:
