    Masturbation

    I have a few questions about this very uncomfortable subject. 1. Is it wrong or bad to do? I was reading a Christian magazine and it said it isn't wrong (I'll link it here http://www.focusonthefamily.com/parenting/sexuality/talking_about_sex/preparing-for-puberty.aspx) "Your approach to this...

    I want kids and I'm 18

    I go through these "I want a kid" obsessions every now and then. But I was reading that CF Males may not be able to make a baby, why is this? What makes cf males unable to make a baby? What are the chances of my kid having cf if my wife does and does not carry the gene (both situations)?

    Juicing

    Is it safe for someone with CF to juice? I've been thinking it'd be a great way to get a bit more healthy and maybe even lose a bit of fat. How could I make juicing safe? I was thinking of juicing for 7-10 days.

    Why is it relatively easier for me to gain weight vs other CFers?

    So I saw a post that said someone was surprised they gained 15 lb. in like 5 years or something and weighing the most they have in their life (which was a moderately low weight).

    Kalydeco

    So what exactly does it do? Is it true it cures 1/2 of CF? How does it make your liver produce more enzymes? How long do you have to use it until you can stop and you're fixed? Why is it so expensive? My doctor said I can be in phase 2 of the studies, but is it safe? I'm worried I'm gonna...
