i was wondering if there was any body out there i could relate with because i suffer frome this disease

Don't know any one with CF, I can kinda relate to the part about having a life threatening ailment though. I had a heart attack 3 years ago that almost killed me(if fact I was clinically dead for about 5 min).

Well i don't guess any body out there knowes too much about cystic fibrosis. i have had this lung disease since birth it's no something you can catch it is totally genetic both parents has to have the gene. it makes it really hard to breath so it limmits what i can do my doctor told me a cople of days ago that i need a double lung transplant so now i have to go to duke university to see if i am elgible. they give people a lung test that measures how you lungs work based on a normal person your size and my lungs are 25% of normal my doctor said it's like a normal person breathing through a straw well i guess i will stop ramblin i just need to get some of this off my chest and thought some body might be interested. I don't really have any body to talk to so sometimes i just need to vent. hopfully every thing will work out so i can work on my luv and get back on the drag strip.

well this is a great place to vent and rant...

Luv Junky. That's some heavy stuff to have to live with.
Will a transplant fix everything, or just make it better for a while?

How old are you?

Thank's man that mean's alot

Yeah that is some pretty heavy stuff for a young guy, you'll be in my prayers , it's tough trying to live a normal life when you have something majorly wrong with ya. Hang in there and just hope that you can get the transplants or maybe find some other way to cure it.
