cf plus another disorder?

[2sickkids]

More test again! CF plus other disorder?

are there any disorders linked to cf?

 

[liekesdad]

unfortunately there are quite a number of CF related disorders. Check the handbook on http://www.cystic-l.org/.

My son was born with a cleft palate. Our pulm said this could also be linked to the cf. She mentioned a bend in the chromosome...

I've always known about cf related diabetes and liver disease not to mention sinus polups, acid reflux and bad teeth. But no one ever told me that its common for cf patients in there 20's to get arthritis. I came across an article about it a few months ago and it suddenly clicked that it explained why I ache all the time. It just never occured to me because its to rare for 20 somethings to have it. I talked to my cf doc about it and she was just like "Yeah, so?" So if your achy, especially in your hands/feet/knees and cold makes it worse, talk to your doc.
