Hi Dr. Bob my name is Nicole I hate taking my ADEK, they taste awful Is it true that I might lose my sight if I don't take them? I am 12 years old I liked it better when I used to have to take the Poly vi Flor and the Vit. K tablet

Comment from Doctor Bob , no Nicole you will not lose your sight , you will lose your nightsight , meaning you can go nightblind , i had that for many years and its scarry not to be able to see in the dark , all i saw was big yellow kind of spots , after taking my vitamins daily it came back tho, i couldnt drive a car at night if i was still nightblind :)

Hello William, or, Dr. Bob. I am Lindsay. I kind of shouldn't have gone to your site, as I'm not a kid, and I do not have CF...but I found it, and I really like it. One of my best friends, Jade, Has C.F. Right now, I'm doing a science project on it... As I know a lot of people who have it, and deal with it.... It doesn't just affect the patient, it affects the whole family. When Jade goes in to the hospital, I go with her. Anyway...cool site. ~Linz.

Hi Dr. Bob- I really enjoyed your site! :) I am a 35 year old teacher with CF. I teach elementary age children with Multiple Disabilities, those who are Orthopedically Impaired and those who are considered Other Health Impaired. I live with my wonderful husband (He is wonderful because he puts up with me and I, like most people with CF, am headstrong and stubborn! :) ) and ten year old, four legged son Slatz. He is a handsome Springer Spaniel that is spoiled rotten! We live on the Alabama Gulf Coast in Grand Bay, AL. Thanks for doing such a great site! One of these days, I'd like to do my own site. Lee

hi im cody.Im 17 and i have cf. I was wondering because i seen something on the knews about a drug they are working on that takes the mucus out of ur lungs,but they cant release it until like another 5 years. do u know anything about it? Another thing, i dont know how to gain weight because i take like 10 enzymes before i eat and then im not hungry. do you have any suggestions?

comment of dr.Bob , i told him to take his enzymes not before but during his meals , if you take all pills infront of it you ont have much appetite left and you cant eat , so take them while your eating , the new drugs will take a long time to get on the market.

how are you doing. thank you for the advice. how often are you in the hospital. i hope they find a cure soon i am sick of this. do you now who dr.borwitz is. one time i was in the hospital and they did a blood gas on me it hurt so bad. i was just in the hospital and they decided to put a feeding tube in me. do you have one. the only thing is it hurt really bad after surgery. but the good thing is i gained 10 pounds. what meds are you on. i am on albutaral, vanciral,pancrease m16. how old are you. my brother also has cf to and is 17 years old. i love picklines because iv don't last long in me they blow in a couple of hours. tommorrow i have to go to the hospital because i have another chest infection. well got to go i have to do chest pt . bye your friend maureen

Hi! I am from Puerto Rico and I also have Cystic fibrosis. I don't like it but I can live with it. I am a homeschooler also.

Hi my name is Lisa and I have C.F. I am not a young one--I am actually 30! I wanted to tell all of you how much I understand what you're going through and I admire you for that. Even though there are many things about C.F. that are "high maintenance", try to develop a positive attitude about the things you need to do, treatments etc. That will make things easier as life goes on. Most important--set realistic goals for things you want to do. It gives you something to look forward to and when you've accomplished it, life feels richer. It is so imortant to have fun and happy things to look forward to! Then you won't get as sad or depressed. Try to make the most out of life while you're out of the hospital, so that when you are in or are sick at home, you won't feel like the fun parts of life pass you by. Good luck & good life!!!

my name is jeremy im 19 and have cf i just recently started needing oxygen i wanted to know if i could do anything to get off the oxygen. is there something i can do to try and get my oxygen level up. also i am looking for other cf people i can talk to around my age online but cant find any chat rooms for cf patients do you know of any please email me.

comment of dr.bob : when you have lungdamage (like we all have to a certain amount) the ability to take in oxygen gets less , so when your saturation ( oxygen level in your blood) gets lower then 90 % you really NEED oxygen to prevent damage to your brains and heart , all i know is that ventolin (albuterol) and atrovent CAN improve that , but you need oxygen when your walking or if your lungs are much damaged you need permanent oxygen. You also can try to exercise , but do ask your physio therapist in the hospital about that ( i just finished a month of biking in the hospital )

Hello I would just like to tell Jack from Dorset, England that walking is very good exercise and even though it does seem like hard work at the time, it's great to keep you well.

Hi, my name is Alex. I am 7 yrs and I have c.f. and diabetes. and boy do I hate it so much. I wish I could eat candy because I love it. My treatments I kinda like because they help me breath better. I also just learned how to swallow my enzymes. I also have a vest that gives me my c.p. I like to sing opera while I do my vest. I love my mom and dad they help take care of me.

Dr. Bob, thanks for having this site. My name is Sherry Brandt and I am a first grade teacher. I just found out today that one of my students has CF. I was just surfing the net to find more information. Thanks again for all the information.

Hey everyone, my name is Ashley I am 15 years old with CF. I am active in basketball and softball, I played basketball last year on the freshman team, and I played softball on the freshman and the junior varsity. I am a fast pitch softball pitcher and loving every moment of it. I live in Idaho and I attend High school I'm in the tenth year. I can't seem to do my flutter though any suggestions Dr. Bob.

Hi my name is Alex. I am 8 years old. I have CF and Diabetes and i do not like it but it is ok. I like to roller blade, play barbies, and my dog casper. I would love to get a pen pal my age with CF!!!!

I have cf and I'm 17, I've been to the hospital once for cf when I was 7, the rest of the time it was pollyps....I don't know how to feel, if I truly have a mild case then I want to do somthing for those who aren't so lucky...cause' I have a deep feeling that I could become one of them at any time.

Comment from Dr.Bob , yes you could , but on the other hand it doesnt have to be that way , the first time i went for cf in the club was at age 30 !!!!

Hi Dr. Bob, My name is Ashton and I am 10 years old with CF. I see alot of people don't like the ADEKs but I love them they taste like oranges. Your web site is sooo cool.

Hi Ashton thanks for the coool remark about my website , my ADEKS taste like vanilla which isnt bad at all either.

Hey DR Bob

My name is Patricia and i am 16 and have Cystic Fibrosis i am still very young and been through a lot i have a G tube put in when i was twelve and i have a Portacath because my vanes got to week well the reason i was writing is to tell every one to keep fighting and don't give up trust me i know how hard it is to have CF i so much wish i could run and play like all my other friends do there are days i felt like giving up but i put my best smile on and try to look foward and remember live every day like it is your last

Ya that can have a bad side as well , living each day like it is your last , if you mean enjoying all things from everyday life i second that , if it means going raving and ranting in drugs , alcohol or any other way that harms your body i think thats a no good idea.

This is Aaron. I am tired of the hospital. I don't like other kids to be afraid of me, that they will get sick too. My baby sister has had pneumonia twice already, and I am scared she will be sick like me.

Hi Doc, my name is Bianca N., I have CF and I am 11 years old. This is the first time I have visited your web site and it seems like fun. The worst thing I hate about having CF is having my neb, it takes so much time and my Mum even makes me have it when I feel well, but now I have found your web site I can go on it when I am having it. I also have a growth problems, which means that I have to have an injection every day. My hobbies are acting , singing & dance, although this sometimes can get you out of puff it does well for your lungs. Bye for now

from Bianca

I came across your site while doing a project for school.
And all i have to say is you have an awsome site.
It has made me relize that im not the only one that thinks having CF is hard.
I used to be worried about dying all the time because of the life expectancy but now i know alot of people live over it and now i dont have to worry so much about it.
And the poems i read on your site i like alot.
If i ever come up with one i'll be sure to send it to you.
Well i didn't really have much to say but i hope you keep adding to your site.
Oh and if you want write back.

Hi My name is Haley i am 13 and have CF i love to talk to people you can IM me at lilpeanut948

Hi! I am 47 years old, and have a very mild type of cf. The only way we even found out about it was when our 11th child was born, and was sick. She had cf, so they tested our older children, and found that one of them had a different kind than the baby. The doctors couldn't believe that all of our children could have had both the same parents, and have been so many of them healthy. So, for the sake of my honour, I got tested. Our 18 year old daughter who has the same cf genotype as I do has no symptoms. The other children did not have cf, but they are all carriers of one sort or the other, because I have cf, and my husband is a carrier. Perhaps my slightly reduced lung efficiency is due to asthma, but I have never been hospitalized for cf, and just try to eat healthy, and walk. Our baby was not so fortunate, and had to take enzymes, and have a tummy tube, and be in the hospital a lot. If this story sounds hard to believe, that someone with a mild cf genotype could have had 11 children, and that my husband is a carrier, and we have a pretty "normal" life. God has been very good to us. Even seeing Ruthie's lovely spirit in the middle of her pain, and at such a young age, has been an inspiration to the rest of us. So there are doubtless many people out there who also have cf, who don't have the slightest idea! People who are healthy like me. But I can't eat junk food, or I get sick easily. If I eat really healthy things that are good for you, I hardly ever am sick. But, most people with cf really REALLY need to keep up on all of the things the Drs. tell you to do. Don't take my case as a regular cf story at all! Keep clearing out those lungs, and taking your enzymes! Love, Gail T.

my name is heather and i was diagnosed with cf when i was born...im 14 and just started high school but after 3days i had to go to the hospital...i just got out but ill be on iv therapy for a while....i have 2 dogs 4 cats and 1 fish...i love reading and playing the flute....i have one brother who doesnt have cf.....i have never ever met or talked to anyone who has cf
