It is possible to have few or no symptoms until early adulthood. My CF symptoms started causing issues at about age 22 but I didn't start getting recurrent bronchitis until my early 30's. I was diagnosed at age 36 after I figured it out myself! The good news is that my lungs are in great condition still. I'm 38.5 years old now and I have a toddler. Being diagnosed with CF is a major event but it doesn't mean that you/your life will be turned upside down forever. There are just some changes like having to do treatments and take better care of yourself. I hope it isn't CF but if it is you are not alone, there are quite a few of us who were diagnosed late.

Thank you all for your kind words and advice!

I have been trying to research this, but there is very few literature out there for late diagnosis.he didn't offer a sweat test and i actually thought that he wouldn't do the CF test until after my other bloodwork came back negative, but he decided to do it all at once i guess. this site has shed a little more light for me to know that a later diagnosis is possible even if i had minimal symptoms. Thank you all again! i will be sure to keep you posted.
