Question specific to those diagnosed as adults?

[BaylorCrew07]

i was diagnosed at age 20... i've had symptoms my whole life, but not severe symptoms...GI issues, asthma-like symptoms, and constant sinus problems (2 sinus surgeries).

my genetic mutations are G542X (which is supposedly in the worst class) and R117H (which is supposedly rare and not as severe). my sweat test results were indecisive when i was an infant (before the gene was discovered) so the docs decided i probably didn't have CF. my sweat test at age 20 was like 62 - JUST over the borderline. i got genetic testing done as well to confirm the diagnosis - definitely get the full screen of ambry genetic testing done.

just out of curiosity...what sports do your kids play? i was just wondering because i swam for 12 years, and played water polo throughout college.

anyway, hope that helps! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

I was diagnosed at age 20 (am now 43). As a child, I remember having lots of "allergies" the doctor contributed to pollution/smog along with frequent earaches. Upper respiratory symptoms began during my senior year of high school ("walking pneumonia") and continued during my early years of college (recurring bronchitis, hemoptysis). I was finally referred to a pulmonary specialist who suspected CF. It seems I was borderline on the sweat test. As far as genetic testing, one mutation is still unidentified, but the other is 711+1G->T.

In the past few years, I've had increased upper respiratory problems (infections/hemoptysis) which has finally been linked to all my sinus issues. I had sinus surgery 10/2005, but continue to have ongoing problems. I saw an allergist this week so am hoping to finally get these under control (fingers crossed)! The only gastrointestinal problems have been pancreatitis during courses of antibiotics.

FEV1 was 100% last November.

Hope that helps! Good luck!
