I am 37 and am female.
I have CF, CFRD, asthma, chronic pancreatitis, and a host of GI issues.
I have been married to a wonderful man for 1/3 of my life.
We have a kitty and a lovebird who are like our babies.
I enjoy writing and Sudoku, and do pilates when I can. It's been a bad year health wise so I haven't done a lot of anything else lately.
I am the only person in my family to be diagnosed with CF. And that's out of four siblings and almost 50 first cousins.
I was diagnosed at 1 year of age.
I stopped working a number of years ago due to frequent exacerbations (and hence absences) due to my lungs and GI system.
My pfts have been as low as 46& and as high as 106%. I'm somewhere in the middle at the moment.
I have had blood clots in both arms due to my last two PICC lines.
Though things are rarely easy, I am thankful for the many blessings I do have in my life.

I am Melony
I am 40 years old and was born in Michigan
I was born into a very Greek heritage
The first 3 years of my life I spent crying a lot from the pain in my tummy. My parents took me from doctor to doctor. One doc told them I was allergic to ketchup; another doc cauterized my intestines. The youngest doc I saw told my mom I needed a sweat test.
I was diagnosed at 3
We moved to Florida, soon after diagnosis, because they told my parents it would be easier on me if I was in a warm climate.
The docs also told my parents I would not likely live longer than 10 years.
Enzymes saved my life.
I grew up swimming nearly every day it was warm enough to swim.
My sister always stood up for me - in those tough childhood years, she was my protector.
I grew up hearing "cough it up" all the time. Although I rarely had anything to cough up...
I also grew up with "take your vitamins & did you take your enzymes?"
My parents raised me to be determined, strong and accepting.
My parents sheltered me with their wings and taught me how to fly.
I loved music since I was a baby.
I learned to sing.
Singing became a therapy for my lungs and my spirit.
I studied music therapy in college - voice was my principle instrument - I am a lyric soprano.
Singing affects my CF and CF affects my singing.... I constantly learn from both.
I love singing classical music most.
I graduated with a degree in music therapy and became a board certified music therapist.
I was a practicing music therapist for 16 years ... I used music as a tool to help others for improved health and well being. I worked in a pediatric hospital most of my career.
I was married to my best friend and love of my life in 2000. We had a big fat Greek wedding!
My husband is both my rock & my pillow
I choose my physicians carefully ... and I think they are given by the grace from up above
I have had Cf "arthritis" since I was a teen...now my rheumatologist calls it arthralgia - it is the most painful aspect of my CF.
I have had numerous sinus surgeries - not sure how beneficial they really were in the long run.
I had knee surgery when I was 11 &
I had a hip tumor removed when I was 17
I was diagnosed with CFRD in 2008 - I believe it is one of the worst aspects of CF
I was recently diagnosed with a rare papilledema and choroidal neovascularization in my right eye. I had surgery on my optic nerve. But, my eyesight is bizarre and seems to worsen day by day.
I am now "retired" at 40, and spend so much of my day just doing treatments and eating!
I garden, bake, knit, sing, practice restorative yoga, swim, walk the beach, read, love being outside. Did I say I Love to eat??
I am a proud Aunt.
Above all these things I am a child of God.... this life is both a struggle and a gift.

Hey there!
My name is Tim and I'm 32 years old.
I was dx'ed at a year because I was showing signs of dehydration.
I grew up not knowing I had CF because my parents wanted me to be "normal".
I was lucky...having never missed a day of school in my life---all the way through college.
I have lived a normal life for most of my life.
I got my BS degree in Psychology and became a personal trainer.
I won my state bodybuilding title in 2003 and qualified for the nationals.
I married Beth on Sept. 2, 2006--the best thing to ever happen to me.
3 cycles of IVF gave us the most beautiful gift, a son we named Timmy.
At about 25 years old, my CF started to slow me down.
In early 2009, my doc suggested I get evaluated for a TX with an FEV1 at 28.
I got my second chance on 11-10-09 at NY Presbyterian Hospital.
My goal in 2010 is to run in the NYC marathon.
I left out a bunch of stuff....but we've all been there.
To all my fellow CFers out there...KEEP FIGHTING!!!

Well, I guess I'll give in and give away my name even though its the internet
Tabitha
22
Diagnosed at birth
Only one in family currently and history that is known (possible mother's father might have had it)
dog person first, animal person next
dating boyfriend for over 5 years
we got a 3 month old Akita last March, his name is Sebby, he is in obedience classes and the biggest lover.
I got my first picc line my junior year of high school
first lung exacerbation hospitalization at 19
I got my port on my birthday in september 2009
I live 4-ish hours away from my CF clinic, its even in a different state
Im planning to "elope" in the new year (as long as all the medical stuff is covered)
I am afraid of water and outer space
I have drank about 8 bottles of 64 oz clamato in 2/3 days before, but I try to limit myself b/c its expensive
I am slowly getting my civil engineering degree (4 classes left)
My parents are RIDICULOUSLY helpful and supportive.... I feel like they gave and give up a lot to make sure I am happy, meaning they let me live 2 1/2 hours away to go to college and be with my boyfriend and friends instead of forcing me to live at home in a bubble and possible go to the community college.
I love laughing and really good friends

My name is Grace
I'm a girl
I'm 21
I live in SC, born and raised
mutation df508
weigh about 120 on a good day, about 5ft5
I am a senior in college
I am double majoring in Chemistry and Biology with a concentration in Forensic Science.
I have a wonderful boyfriend, Chris.
I have 3 children, they are all four-legged.
Bogart (cat), Lucy (dog), Truman (dog).
I have two older brothers without CF.
I had another brother who was a year older than me who died when he was 15 after a long battle with CF. We are the only two anywhere in the family with the disease.
I'm not sure what I want to do with my life yet, I obviously love science and have a pretty good background in the medical field as I'm sure we all do.
I love music.
I love animals.
I love reading.
My parents are wonderful. They are both high school teachers and my dad is a coach.
So naturally I love sports as well.
My boyfriend is trying to get me into soccer....it's tough.
I joined this website to meet more CF people and get advice, opinions, and just to relate to someone who knows what I'm going through!!

I've been on here for awhile now but for those that don't know me here it goes.
Name's Chris,
I'm 17 but in July I'll hit the big 18.
I'm living in New Mexico, but hopefully soon it'll be Arkansas.
Originally from Kansas, miss the farm life.
So far in my life I've had one hell of a story,
My parents were drug addicts that didn't care about me so I live with my grandparents who have raised since I was about two years old.
I was diagnosed with CF the first hour I was born,
If it wasn't for the rest of my family especially my great grandmother I'd probably not be writing these words since my parents didn't give a care if I lived or died.
When I was just 7 I had serious anger issues against my real parents that lead to me showing it through distruction of alot of things, but thankfully now I've learned to channel my anger through writing which I've actually made it beautiful poetry, and amazing fictional stories.
I'm hoping to become a director or producer of movies when I go to college and make my life story into a movie.
I love all kinds of animals, mostly dogs. I use to have a labrodor named Moppy, and a cat named Abbynormal cause she acted just like a dog all the time.
I guess that pretty much puts most of my life in a few paragraphs, but I know it's longer than that lol
