I need to gain weight, and no matter how hard I try, I can't seem to gain a pound. What tips can you recommend for me?

I have a general question for anyone out there who feels they can answer it. At what point in the progression of CF did you really feel your quality of life was beginning to change for the worse? Right now I'm in college and as active as everyone else I know, and I keep wondering when I'm going...

Male ejaculate with CF does not contain sperm, which is seperate from semen. The semen is the fluid, which guides the sperm from the penis. The bulk of the ejaculate comes from the 70,000,000 sperm in a normal male's ejaculate. So, since 95-98% of CF men don't have the sperm in their ejaculate...

Thank you so much! Is is a hardcopy or an electronic copy? How would you like to send it...snail mail, e-mail, PM, IM...whatever works for you.

Thanks for the help. I did not know Allan personally, but I was so moved by his story that I decided to write about it. As of now, the story will focus on his love with Jessica while spreading awareness for cf and the inability for medical insurance to come through when it was often truly...

Hi all! Since Allan's passing, I've been talking with Jessica (Allansgirl) over e-mail about writing a movie script based on his life. It would likely be just for Jessica to have as something to remember him by as I'm just a fledgling writer with delusions of...well...money... In any case, I'm...

I'm in a pretty little suburb about 20 miles south of Newark, NJ

I'm music ed as wel....its tough times man. Definitely one of the hardest majors my school has to offer.

I just wanted to know who out there was a musician. I have been playing wind instruments since I was 10, and they have dramatically helped my lung function. I wanted to recommend this practice to parents who have children who may be readey to play an instrument.

i'm writing a screenplay i hope to have completed by spring (end of christmas break if i'm lucky.) perhaps i'll submit it.

I'm an atheist. This means I've rejected the idea of a higher being. At the same time, I have an overwhelming sense of purpose and direction in life. I don't know. My brother is an atheist because he'd rather not believe in God than have to accept him and be pissed off at him all the time. Maybe...

I'm 19. Having CF has actually been a great way to live. My parents have told me that through my life I've taught them so much about their own lives that they wouldn't change the past if they could (that is certainly not to say they wouldn't give an arm and a leg to cure me now.) The idea is...

I am so sorry to hear about Allan's passing. That's all I can really say. I'm sorry.

Jess, I don't know Allan, but I know that you deserve a great deal of thanks from all of us here for inspiring him to keep going. I'm not religious but it's times like these that I wish I were. You and Allan are in my thoughts and hopes. Stay strong.

I really can't fathom what's going on here. Stop bashing each other. Have some damn respect for each other. You're making immature fools of yourselves. If someone can explain to me what they hope the outcome of this discussion will be and how it can positively effect anyone when it's done, then...

I just read this whole thread and I can't even believe it's happening. I swear this happens every time I try to join a CF discussion group. I spend a few weeks here and then realize that everyone has too much "I know a lot of sh*t because I've been through a lot of sh*t" pretension running...

I go back and forth on the idea that a cure would be covered up to keep jobs. My feeling is that if a scholastic institution figures it out, nothing will stop them from getting the word around because of the positive pulicity the school would receive. Also, keep in mind that researchers in...

I'm Steve. Still new here. I'm a music education major at The College of New Jersey. I spend way too much time playing music, specifically the saxophone. I'm really lucky to have lungs that let me play a wind instrument right now, and I recommend to any parents of young Cfers that they make...

I'm a movie freak lately and I have been working on a story since third grade (I'm 19 now). The whole idea is out on my computer but hasn't been put into the actual screenplay yet. I've been reading through some great screenplays for a year now to try to learn the best writing techniques and...
