I'm Lindsey, 23 years old. I live in Irivine, California. Anyone else from California? I go to school full time and I am also a server at a restaurant full time. I just came across these forums a few days ago and I love it! I haven't had too much interaction with other CF'ers so it is really interesting to know that everyone has the same questions and concerns and goes through the same things I do. I am currently on iv meds; have been on them for a month now. I got sick after I got a flu shot. I am on zosyn, which I just learned that everyone gets a bad reaction to. It seems to be working for me, but at least I know what to look out for now. Take care, everyone!

Lindsey, wow! I thought I had a lot going on by being a full time student and working during my summer. I'm impressed that you go to school and work at the same time, that would completely drain me. Rock on! And yeah, apparently a lot of people react badly to the Zosyn, but I'm on your end of it. I have had it once or twice before and it never gave me any bad side effects.
I am Emily from Detroit, MI...I'm 22 wcf. I am on a "hiatus" from school, which my dad calls dropping out... I work quite a bit at a sweet shop in Detroit, I play in my band HELLEN (www.hellenofdetroit.com will be updated soon) and also help my brothers band South Normal (www.southnormal.com) out. Hopefully they'll be going on tour sometime soon so I can join them! I'm not too new to the site but I've just been posting quite a bit lately.

Hi Mary, my name is Julie and my husband Mark has CF, he is 24 now and diagnosed at 18 months. I really enjoy this site and reading that others go through the same struggles we do, and have found information about successful IVF treatments for males with CF on this site as well. I stumbled on this site by accident a little over 2 months ago and it has been just wonderful! By the way Lindsey, my husband and I live in San Diego, we moved from Washington about 8 months ago.

Hiya
I'm Siobhan, I'm 20 and I was diagnosed when I was 3 months old. I live in England - with my fiance whom I've been with for a year now. Am at my happiest and almost my healthiest (I hope) since I've been with him and next year we are going to try for a baby. I came on here and found loads of useful info to help me along the way, plus I really like talking to others with CF - its easier over a computer than face to face in a clinic!

Hi I'm Kim, 39 years old, from Boston. I'm married, not working and have a 14 year old son. I found this site about a month ago, it is wonderful! Its great to read that other people go through the same things..... I don't know many people with CF so this has been very reassuring for me.

Hi guys! I'm Eliana, I'm 25 and was diagnosed at 8 years old. I live in Cherry Hill NJ and currently go to the CF clinic at Presbyterian Medical Center in Philadelphia. I'm working full time in a psychiatric group home (4pm-midnight shift) and started grad school part time this semester for Social Work, it's exhausting but I'm hanging in there. I wish I could just go to school but I need the health benefits and the grad school plans aren't going to cut it, oh well. Only 2 1/2 more years!!
