well, i'm sopposed to be in the process of transitioning but i'm stubborn and i don't like the adult dr. so i'll probably keep going to the children's clinic till they kick me out which is probably sooner than later <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif" border="0">

I just went through transition about a year ago. I was at the Children's center in Detroit for 24 years and built up the biggest extended family ever. Transition was talked about for about 4 years, we just kept putting it off because we had such a great relationship and I didn't want to leave everyone. Finally I decided to transition. I now see a CF doc at the University of Michigan and I love it!

I have to say that transitioning was the absolute hardest time for me emotionally. If I would have left Children's when I was 17 or 18 it would have been easier, but since I waited so long I grew even closer to everyone at the hospital and that made it harder.

So I guess what would make it easier is to really encourage earlier transition and get adult CF docs involved early on in the transition phase.
