noncompliant

[shallowwaters]

i dont know how to really post this topic. i was diagnosed with CF when i was five. my parents basically forced me to do treatments up till i was 12 then i was on my own with them after that. i did ok because i have a more common form and was in sports, when i went into high school it started to catch up to me and my first year of college (2005-2006) i was hospitalized more than i ever had. for some reason i still cant get my head on straight and get myself better. i guess im looking for advice from people but in a good way. i am afraid to post this because i dont want a lot of angry people replying and asking how can i not take care of myself. i just got married and turned 21. i hope to have kids someday and i know i can not do that without getting back on track. any advice on how to do this without it being so overwhelming?

JUST DO IT!

I also was non compliant until my 30's, but I didnt have the privelage of my parents instilling in me the need for treatments. You had that & still chose to push your luck.

Now its only up to you. Discipline!!!!!

Good Luck!

Hi Kate,
Welcome! Well I just have to say....at age 21, I was the same way. I didn't feel 'bad' so doing treatments just weren't on the top of my 'to do' list. I was still doing the college life and going to parties/bars/clubs was way more fun than taking care of myself! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

I guess just getting older and realizing that if I don't do my treatments...I don't feel well. Now I know if I do my vest...I'll feel better. So I do my treatments! Plus I have an amazig husband who will remind me to take good care of myself.

I know there are things I like/want to do that if I don't feel good, I can't do. So I like to take care of myself so I can travel & have fun.

For the sake of having kids, I'd just say, take the best care of yourself that you can. Your kids will depend on you and you'll want to be there for them as long as possible! What you do (or don't do) now can effect that.

Good luck and Welcome.

Hi Kate,

Good for you for looking for advice and trying to improve your health habits. I would start by asking myself why I'm non-compliant... is there a reason, are you afraid, angry about something, angry at someone? Once you figure that out and hopefully resolve it, you'll realize how important it is to fight this disease with everything you have, and you'll want to fight. It's so hard to fit the CF routine into your life, especially when you're 21 and newly married, but you'll see that it's so worth it. The reason I'm so compliant is because I hate feeling crappy all the time. Who wants to feel crappy all the time? If I do my meds and nebs, I feel better and can fit more fun things into my life. Good luck!
