Woo, I know fun topic right? I know how everybody just <i>hates</i> this subject because it gets to be so repeatative/stupid and some of these questions are repeated ad nauseam without the people doing actual research. I hate it too. But I that we're willing to help these people, most of the time. Wouldn't it be easier if the questions that are asked all the time like "what's living with CF like" "what's the life expectancy of a CFer" etc., if we take those and post the answers to a seperate page/forum. That way we don't have to answer the same question <i>every</i> time, because honestly some of these questions are asked so many times you can just go back find a similar post, copy and paste the answers and not really have to think about it again.

This is just an idea ::shrugs:: not sure if it can even be done but I'd think that it'd cut down on the stress factor that this seems to draw out.

that would be a good thing to suggest to the moderators. I am all for helping those that have some specific quesitons about CF, but it does seem that even those questions are repeated very often.

I suggest that we present the idea to moderators. We/they can go back to previous posts (that are no longer avilable for viewing currently) and pull posts regarding CF diagnosis, symptoms and common questions that have been asked by those who are doing projects (and have done their research, I might add!). Then they ought to be placed somewhere where project people (and maybe new parents) can read them.

well, first of all, knowledge of what CF is and how likely it is to pass it on would be beneficial to both an individual and a family because they can get themselves tested before they concieve. That way there are no surprises of CF, they can prepare themselves, they go into the pregnancy knowing how likely it is that their child may have CF. More people being educated about CF would also be beneficial because there are many ignorant people who believe that you can "catch" CF. THis is not the case, it is genetic and threfore can only be passed from parents to offspring. Both parents have to have a CF gene for the child to have CF. A child can be a carrier of CF if only one parent has a CF mutation. You can find the probabilities posted in some other topics on this site, I've already posted them like 8 times this week so i don't feel like doing it again.

You might want to try posting some specific questions. You may find that if it appears to us that you have done your research and are posting some educated questions, people will answer them and may even give you their email address.
