    Need help, at a loss

    I recently changed CF Centers because of differing views as to how I needed to be treated. I'm in Mass and very lucky in that there are 4 CF Centers within an hours drive from my home. I don't know how easy you can change Centers but it is obvious that you must change. Too often Doctors just...

    Gaining weight tips?

    I wanted to comment on enzymes also, you may not be properly digesting the fats that you are eating. This is something that can be tested, talk to your CF Doctor. Bill

    Thinking about death & Fear

    OK let me take a different approach here. I will be 72 in January and I have CF. One thing that I'm sure of is that I AM GOING TO DIE SOMETIME. My dad died of "lung disease" (probably CF). My mom died of cancer. My brother died of cancer. My sister died of cancer. One uncle was killed by...

    Advice for a mom that will have a child with CF

    First understand that CF is NOT a death sentence. There is a thread here - Forum/Adult called CFers over 40. Read through it. I'm sure that CFF told you about the new drug VX770, this will lead to a "cure" very soon. Good luck, Bill

    How has your CF progressed over the years?

    I was dx in 1987 and the gene was identifyed in 1989. When I was first tested, in 1995, there were 250 known (identified) mutations. Today there are almost 1900 known mutations. Tomorrow there may be more. I'm guessing that there were mutations found between 2008 and today. Sinus issues, acid...
