HAHAH! had to comment on the one about 'one-uppers.' I was in a hospital bed maybe 15 minutes after having my left lung drained by a huge needle, and a friend of mine (the consumate one-upper) comes and visits, apologizes for not coming sooner (i had been in the hospital for like 4 days at that point) but he had been sick with what he thought was pneumonia but was just a cold or flu. I don't know if I should go on as to the several reasons why this annoyed/flustered/etc. the heck out of me. I had no choice but to concede that he indeed had it worse than me...cuz its all apparently a contest.

I get really annoyed when i have a coughing attack and i just met someone or a friend is getting used to me coughing alot. i hate it when someone i just met offers me a cough drop or a drink of water. I know they mean well but i what to say, "i a cough drop is able to stop my coughing attack, dont you think i would have reached in my purse and grabbed one!?!?!" i hate the way they stare at me in a bad way. i can almost hear their thought about how i should have stayed home.
also, i hate it when people just clap my back while i am coughing. clapping my back just makes me cough more.
i dont like it when people compare their allergies to my cf. it just doesnt work with me.

i dont like it when people say to me, "WOW!!!! You are soooo skinny! I wish I can be that skinny!!!!"
My reply is, "OK. if you want to be skinny like me, please take my 2 diseases so i dont have to deal with them and you can be happy being skinny."
Their reply, " UMMMMMM..... No thanks!"
I am also annoyed at people thinking that our coughing is at worse and they think cough drops are a help. if a cough drop helps, dont you think we would use them the second a coughing attack starts?
also, clapping the back of cf people who are coughing only makes us cough more.

LOL....love these!! I too have the "one upper" type. I was very sick in November with major pneumonia, hospitalized for 5 weeks and then this individual cried about how bad her allergies were and how lucky I was not to have them....the look I gave her was priceless hehehe. Whenever I get into my coughing frenzies, I can't tell you how many people give me the stink eye and back away while mumbling things such as "she should stay home if she is that sick".....People. Oh, and the ones that really bug me are those who tell me I should give up smoking, that it would help my cough (are you kidding me????)

I think everyone covered all the bases but I did not see this one and I've heard it constantly, I am one of 4 children and the only one with CF "God only gives you what he thinks you can handle". You are the strongest of the 4... I get absolutely crazy when I hear that and have heard it most my life from family members. I have learned to just walk away, I used to go off on a rant but now I just do not answer anymore. Another one is are you still sick with the cough? maybe you shd see a specialist? I hope your not going to get me sick. Welcome to the site. I am not sure how long I've been a mbr? I only read for awhile never posted. Then started posting (came of of my shell lol) started askg questions and have learned alot from so many, it has been a very helpful place for me. Pat-56/CF
