how often do you miss treatments?

on a scale of 1 to 10 1=never do anything or 10 totally compliant and never miss any treatments

i would say iam a 7




i admit at the weekend i dont do that much but during the week i try to be pretty religous with my treatments i have realised from own personal experience that i have had to relax some treatments or i end up being a slave to cf up until around 23 i have been more or less 100% compliant physio 3 times a day ie i was doing 20 minutes 3 x daily and from the age of 17 all my nebulisers (when the docs put me on them) but with hindsight i have found from a personal opinion that doing treatments so religously it has messed up my social life to a extent ie doing all this tratment does tire you somewhat and ya cant be 100% like ya mates(ive told them the situation and thank god they understand)
and on a education level my grades at uni this year have suffered bit as to do near 2 hours treatments daily on a full time course is like carrying a heavy burden

my point is it is damm near impossible to have a normal successful life and do treatments so religously without being affected somewhat being academically or socially

I would say I was a 5 (meaning 50% time doing what I should)

NOw having had my daughter I am 90-95% (occasionally I have fallen asleep without last CPT or truly forgotten something but rarely make the choice to skip). In hindsight I owed this to my husband as well and should have been doing it all along but I feel that I owe it to my family to stick around as long as possible otherwise I have no right having a family. That is just my opinion.

I would probably put myself at an 8-9. I never miss two treatments in a row, but there have been times where sleep is more of a need so I have skipped my vest. I have NEVER skipped a neb/inhaler treatment altogether. I just wouldnt be able to breath then. IF I dont have time for a neb then I will do my inhaler of albeuterol & then my pulmicort neb.

I'm a 10. I never miss anything unless the doctors have me stopped due to bleeding. If I am going somewhere that evening, I do my 2nd vest in the afternoon. It's just not worth missing any to me.
