Wanting To Talk

[knifewieldingmonkey]

Hey pplWas just looking through all my google searches the other day and my mum must have been on looking ct CF so i decided to take a look myself found the site, found the fourms, so here i am.Im a 19 yr old guy living with CF, thankfully very healthy and lively. Reading over what a lot of ppl with cf suffer, kinda makes me realised how lucky i am to be in the condition i am, i didn't even know what vest was until i googled it. Been in and outa hospital about 10 times all my life with chest infections, worst one was pnuemonia, what a killer, took me months to recover from that (back to normal health) i was lucky i self diagnosed myself that something had fked up in me, i think everyone with cf knows what im talking about its like a 6th sense when u know something just aint right in there. I really feel for all u folk who have all the other complications that come with cf, and i just keep hoping i don't go down that line one day, but i remain optimistic and positive for the futureIm a very outgoing guy all my m8s know about my problem, but im glad they don't treat me any differently, they all stuck by me in my monents of being in hospital by visiting every day which was class of them to do. Have a great social life, out at least twice a week to bars/clubs and that having a great time living the life, currently studying at college right now and also working nearly every day i can. Love going to gigs, been to over 40 gigs and saw hundreds of bands and been able to last festivals all day surprisingly considering im not very fit. I try my best to push CF to the side of my life and it only gets the better of me when im in a hospital bed and that is not somethign that happens a lot thank god <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">But what i was wanting to say is that im her to talk to anyone who wants to talk, teenagers/adults who suffer cf, parents of cf sufferers or anybody who just wants a good chat about cf or anything they want, to contact me on msn knifewieldingmonk3y@hotmail.comSpeak to ya SoonPaul~

As a Mom of a child with cf, I am glad to see young ppl with the disease so outgoing and open about cf...it gives me hope that my daughter (who is now 7 years old) will be as easy going and understandable of what the disease brings her.I'm glad to hear you are in 'good' health with your cf Paul.....as is my Emma. She has had pnemonia once as well....was in hospital for just over two weeks on intravenous antibiotics. She is stubborn now, that is what I think gets us through...can't wait til she's a teen...HAHAHATake careLynnvaluebulb@hotmail.com
