    Getting A Job

    Melissa, Kids DO = colds!! If I were you, I'd go to the school a few times on a trial basis, if you don't pick up a ton of bugs, keep going. But if it makes you sick (literally!) I'd rethink where you volunteer at. I don't want to deter you, I just don't want you to get sick. And you can't...

    Feeling lonely even with a partner

    No one is perfect, let him have his moods if on the whole he makes you happy. I'm sure you're not perfect all the time- no one is- what if he was questioning your relationship every time you're crabby or bitchy? Everybody goes through the "he drives me nuts" times. No one else can tell you if...

    Getting A Job

    Hey Melissa, I totally sympathize with your situation. How often are you in the hospital? Also, I don't know any CFers with 3 jobs and the only ones I know that can climb a mountain are VERY healthy or have already had a transplant! Don't let your dad bring you down, you're succeeding just by...

    Feeling lonely even with a partner

    I'm sorry to say this, but I think you're both being immature. Yes, he should realize you need a routine with your treatments and health. But you need to realize he isn't there to be your doctor or your mom. You're the only person who knows when you're feeling run down or congested or just...

    MRSA

    UPDATE: I spoke to my clinic today and the nurse told me unless mucus gets into an open wound on someone else, MRSA wouldn't be transmitted to them. She said the baby is just as likely to pick up some kind of bug from the grocery store, church or from her parents bringing it home from work than...

    at what point is transplant suggested?

    It's my understanding that PFT's have to be below 30 at their best before you can get listed. Someone with PFTs of 40 or 50 would not be eligible for tx even if their quality of life is poor. I currently have a friend who is trying to get listed with FEV 24%, but because she moved from a high...
