Hi there Caroline-anne, welcome to Healingwell!!

Everybody with CF is completely different. My CF is actually closer than my friends than to my brother. My brother suffers more with his bowls and is only hospitalised every 1-2 years. I have more chest troubles and am hospitalized for IV's every 3 months. A lot can influence CF, such as other genes in the body, how many infections you have, what infections you have and also how old a person is when they're diagnosed.

Speaking as a CF patient, I think it does get easier over time, as you get used to treaments and the routine of CF. I think people with CF tend to have a fairly strong mental attitude too.

Hope all your family are feeling ok, glad you have found healingwell, I'm sure you will find it to be informative and supporting.

All the best
Gemma

Caroline-ann, I have edited your post to add a title to it. Just thought I'd let you know.

If you don't like the title, either edit the original post yourself, or let me know what you want it changing too.
Just makes the place tidier, and means more people should read it.
