I just wanted to point out a thing. To saveferris: it is false that pure earnings provide motivation to researchers to develope new drugs. Pure earnings provide motivation to shareholders in order to pay salaries to researchers to develope new drugs. Hundred thousand of freelance researcher, or...

"If Europe's situation is so good... then where do all these stories of people waiting up to a year or more for a simple MRI come from? " In some of the poorer EU countries (there are deep differences between, say, Greece, and Denmark) it may happen for people to wait months for some exams...

I live in Europe and I've always been in what you call "socialized" healthcare system, although it's not at all "socialized", it's just public healthcare. Meaning that you go to an hospital for an accident and they take care of you, no matter your wallet or any "insurance". And in the case of...

Sometimes when I just jump into water I suddenly feel as if my lungs become made of water and start braking apart inside. It's extremely weird; very similar as if I'd be bleeding inside. It goes away with a bit of cough and I don't think it is actually blood, but it must be some kind of fluid...

Keep at mind that any person in different, and any CFer is different. Some may eat normally without problems. I couldn't. I didn't give up on all the food I enjoyed because I'm mentally unhealthy (!) but because it did make me feel better. My "chicken-rice-yogurt" diet surely is not balanced...

I've been adjusting my enzimes for months, no matter how many I would in-take (I went up to 500.000K creon a day), I would still have bloating and gases. Now i take something like 150.000K (without chocolate). I understand your confusion about this radical change. I was skeptical as well. But...

I felt so unpleased with that as well. So I tryed to rearrange drastically my diet. When I talked to my nutrition doctor about me taking away dairies and wheat from my diet he said I should also consider taking away corn and fibers. He said that fibers, more than anything, go slowly down our...

I don't feel at all blessed, although I believe that I wouldn't -really- have preferred to, say, not have CF, but being stupid. Albeit when I look at "stupid" people and I see how easily their lives flow, I feel just so envious. And their healthy bodies, that I envy the most. I guess it's...

I am just 18, but if you don't find enough people and if age isn't a concern, I wouldn't mind at all talking with you about CF. I understand you are looking for more mature people for that, but on the other hand you could possibly find out how different things are depening on subject's age. (Or...
