My brother had CF. He didn't take very good care of himself. He was always depressed, always in his bedroom, smoked pot all day. My parents were willfully ignorant. He went for the tuneups and took his meds, but that was it.

He had a double lung transplant at 22 and had a good couple of years. The steroids caused necrosis in his knee, and after surgery his knee never healed. That sent him to the hospital wear he then caught that horrible respiratory staph infection that is hard to kill. It was that which killed him.

I am always so worried for people with CF and/or transplant patients. Hospitals are a cesspool of diseases and are the last place people with an immune deficiency should be.

Question I know physical activity in general is probably a pain in the ass for you. Do you overcome it and push yourself to be active? Do you lead a more sedentary life? Also, do you allow yourself life experiences such as partying, drinking or drugs? I've only known two people with CF. My brother, and a friend who is anti drugs and alcohol and is very very active.

Ooooh, my man is going to love this site, both as a maker and a buyer! Thanks! <3
