Packing it on and figuring it out!

Packing it on and figuring it out.

I used the same pronoun to represent two different objects. It seems wrong to do that, but it leaves some mystery... did it work? are you curious?

As you might have guessed the first "it" refers to my weight. Yep, I'm gaining weight. 105 lbs. yay! I'm sooo excited to show/tell Dr. B next week! Although, I do think its all in my legs. Now that I have been walking/jogging every night, I have noticed my legs have gotten quite a bit thicker (this is a good thing). I'm don't think my legs fall in the "chicken legs" category anymore.


Now!                                                                                         2009
you be the judge...

Now, compare them to Fall 2009...
(sorry its a poor quality picture)
I know, I gotta keep working on it..

AND I blame my dad for "skrony legs" genes.  But at least they are better than they were... yipes!

And the 2nd "it" refers to medical insurance/laws.  I'm researching insurance plans/laws in mulitple states/countries amd seeing how CFers pay for all their Meds. I'm very foruntate that I can still be on my Dad's insurance (which covers 100% including clinical trials, etc). However, I want to figure it all out now, so if/when I'm no longer on my Dad's insurance I can make sure I can afford all my meds and don't have to make sacrifices like "Oh, I will never order my Cayston, because it costs $5,000 a month."

Dear CFers,
Please look into Patient Assistance programs like The CF Patient Assistance Program through the CF Foundation.  For more info click here!'
Love,
Cheriz

It's interesting how much difference there is for CF patients between states and countries.
 Some states don't have a single Cf Clinic!!!

Some patients in other countries are still fighting to get Kalydeco!
(for info on Kayledeco click here.) 

For info on the Quest for Kalydeco in other countries check out their Facebook Page : Quest for Kalydeco  or  follow them on Twitter @QuestKalydeco!
No matter where we live we should support everyone on fighting for the medications that they deserve!

First blog: Hello

My first Blog: A little About Me I'm not sure why I have decided to start a blog, however, here I am.  I have honestly thought about writing about my life for years, but have always chickened out. I have finally decided to share the experiences life has thrown at me. The biggest reason I have been asked to blog by people is because of everything I have dealt with medically. I have Cystic Fibrosis and a few other medical problems...This is probably the best reason why I should blog. I can relate to others who are dealing with medical problems, however,my CF is also why I did not want to write this blog. CF can be embarssing and annoying sometimes... but it  has helped define who I have become to be as a person. Therefore, (yes, even though I want it cured) I don't hate having CF. Let me start off with some basic info and statements. I'm 26 yrs old and have dealt with CF all my life. In this blog you will hear recent stories (good, bad, embarassing); a...

Cystic Fibrosis Clinic Results. Not what I wanted, but...

My Results: I went down in lung function 2% points and lost  a couple more lbs. So I'm at 102. I was really disappointed with myself. I know that I have been doing  my meds and I have been doing my stomach feeding most nights too.  I have been making the right decisions and all my friends have been very supportive. I bring my nebulizers over to their houses to do them if we are hanging out, etc. It just wasn't enough this clinic. I really thought there would be a slight increase. However, I haven't been jogging since it is cold outside. And I know waitressing has been making it hard to gain weight. Plus, its winter. It is always harder for me to stay healthy in the winter. Dr. B was still pleased. He said "I should give myself a break, I have been doing everything he asked, I ran a 5K, and I'm still doing well." And that is true 2% increase isn't a huge decrease, only if I continue to decrease then there is a problem. Dr. B told me that I need to focus...
