Anyone with Cystic fibrosis (CF)?


17/m/kansas living with Cystic fibrosis.

My sister has CF, she's 11. Tough thing to have.... hope you are doing all of your treatments...lol ( it seems like we are always on my sisters case about her treatments and enzymes, so I'd imagine it's the same for you! ) Take care!

Just today saw a 15yr old - Morris - with cystic fibrosis.. lifelong condition, needs constant care...
Unfortunately for the kid, he has a pseudomonas infection - one of the biggest threats to life of someone with CF. Severely malnourished, all the classic signs and symptoms - barrel chest, lung infection, the works..and yet smiling!!
Well.. 17/m/kansas.. take care of yourself.. have your medications and take your vaccines... prevention is the key! Cheers.. and like Morris. keep smiling :-)
