OK, I have Cystic Fibrosis. I will be 77 in January. I have been married 54 years. From ages 16 t0 20 I was a lifeguard on a Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Atlantic Ocean Beach. This was a civil service position and requires certification prior to each summer. I played College Varsity...

It is important to understand that a real Sweat Test is only given by a trained CF Nurse or Doctor in a CF Clinic. My first sweat test, in a local hospital, was called a screening sweat test. I suspect that the reason that you are vomiting mucus, is because you are swallowing it...
FYI There are almost 2000 known mutations, any two will cause CF. Early "genetic profiling" are for between 32 and 250 mutations. To rule out CF, even with a normal sweat test, you would need to have a FULL CF SEQUENCING.
If this has been done, great, otherwise it should be food for...
