Same here! I'm 31 and we have 3 new babies this year in our immediate family, Each visit I come home with baby fever... Then I snuggle up with my happy healthy dog, that will never leave home, talk back and ALWAYS loves snuggles and hugs and is always happy to see me. Plus when I wake up feeling...

Hi! I'm 31, 5'4" and a proud 130lbs! I was having a hard time losing weight, especially when I get sick. I started on zenpep and got on the live 2 thrive program where they send me free aquadeks multi and a case of high calorie boost. I have a boost for breakfast usually eggs, ham, normal...

yup I had the same problem. I now have a gen. practitioner that also is a pulmonary specialist, then I go into the cf clinic 1-2 times a yr to stay current on the new stuff. My gp found thyroid disease, blockage. gallbladder/appendix issues, and severe allergy to grass. I felt like a whole new...

I have joint pain pretty bad all over. Usually flares up worse during an infection flare up (lung function currently around 30% & I am 31 yrs old) There's actually a really long name for this- "something" pulmonary osteo-arthropathy. This can also be an allergy symptom to something you are...

Same here..... My hardest feat was to stop working full time and apply for ssi. It took about 9 months to get approved, but they back pay to 3mnths after you stop working. When I made my health a priority, I gradually got better, and after about a yr was able to go back part-time. Just the...

Congrats! so happy things turned out well for you, luck in the future!

I was a retail manager before had to stop, had more fun delivering pizzas part-time after on ssi. It's a great workout and who isn't happy to see the pizza lady, plus I get to sing to the radio like nobody is listening! Recently started back to school to work on psych degree, now that I'm 31...

Colon surgery was definitely most painful, but scariest was waking up in the hosp. after being on a vent. for 5 days and seeing the look on my husbands face. Of course I went out on a weekend so my reg drs weren't around and the drs at e.r. told them I was gonna die. They convinced him to do a...

I get more out of the vest if I sit on the couch and put my head on the floor, or lay on my back with a couple pillows under my rear.

That's amazing! I was down to fev1 27 a yr ago, after a pretty bad bout. Last tested 5 months ago at 35 during an infection. I know my next test will be way better because of Yoga! I started a week ago when I notice more congestion and tiredness, now my husband is following me around watching to...

hello; I am so sorry for the fear u must have been dealing with. I know that when the drs give a diagnosis and brief description, they don't realize how terrifying the ride home can be. I was diagnosed at age 1 after 3 different hospitals couldn't tell them why I wasn't getting any nutrients...

HiJ First, congratulations on your pregnancy! I was diagnosed at age 1, because of my dietary issues. By the time I turned 12 I showed no symptoms other than a cold/bronchitis once or twice a yr, and if I watched my oily food intake showed no symptoms w/o using enzymes (fat soluble vitamins are...
