I'm also usually on antibiotics, and I'm sure anywhere you go you could get them. I'm in my third year of school, and i'm graduating May of 2006. I don't plan on going abroad, just because I'm not good at the being social thing. I mean, here at school, if it wasn't for my boyfriend and his friends, I'd have no one lol. It sounds very interesting to do, but I have decided to live at home next year to really concentrate on school so I can graduate! If I had to go anywhere though, it would be a pretty tough decision. I think I would go to Australia though. I like the accents haha, and there's really not a different language to learn! If this is something you really want to do, and you haven't had any real troubles, it would be great for you to get the experience! I hope your mom gives in! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
As for the other person who commented, I'd be glad to give you any type of information. I don't know how accurate or knowledgeable it would be, but I can always try to help. As a kid, I was always treated just like one of the other kids in my family. Out of six children, 2 of us have CF, and we're just like every other sibling, but we have treatments to do. I do want to stress that every person's case of CF is quite different, but we do have lots of similarities. I actually just recently got in touch with my "CF side" and decided to learn more about myself. But in a nut shell, CF is a disease in which the body produces thicker mucus that can clog up certain areas of the body, mainly the lungs. This also causes problems with digestion, which leads many of us to take enzymes with our food. A lot of people with CF have trouble gaining weight, and do a lot of breathing treatments daily to help keep our lung function up to par. There's a lot more to CF than what I just said, but feel free to ask questions anytime! I hope I can help!
