    I thought thats what it was, but I wasnt sure. I didnt realize you could die from that.

    That makes that post so sad then. Its incredible how much strangers on the internet can touch someones life, huh.
  • I remember a girl on MTV's Real World had it---and, she didn't make it seem like it was life threatening; crap, she smoked all the time. I know it affects the lungs, but I didn't know how serious it could be until I started reading her blog.

    She was Canadian too, Nebb!

    We used to have a friend with CF, and Adam could never smoke in the apartment if he was over because it would irritate his lungs so much, he had to have weekly treatments with a nurse and regularly get his lungs treated.
  • She is putting new ones up as we speak

  • yeah CF turns healthy lung into scar tissue until you don't have enough functional lung to survive.  Really long and torturous disease

  • I think that people with CS rarely live past 30. I think I only know that because of Frankie on the Real World.

  • The average life span of someone with CF is 35 y/o.  It's a lot higher than it used to be, but it affects a lot more systems then people initially think.

    That is sad.  I was wondering what that post was about, too.

    Jesus thats sad, I had no idea.

    I just want to also say I love KPS, I just cant express how much I enjoy these.
  • I love KPS, too. But some of them just break my heart. The new one about the poster being depressed---and getting passed over because of her SN? Sad panda.

    I had to google her to find out---but she's who I was talking about. I swear she used to smoke on the show. I had no idea she died <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-frown.gif" border="0" alt="Frown" title="Frown" />

    Me too. I just wish people realized that even if we give people a hard time if they have a serious problem we will give them serious answers and be supportive. We arent monsters.

  • Short story about CF: My HS chem teacher's granddaughter has CF.  In fact, he adopted her and raised her because her parent's couldn't take care of her.  She must be about 19 now, and it breaks my heart when I think about her lifespan.

    Girl, you have some fabulous hair for a monster!
  • Eva was a girl in her early 20's who had a double lung transplant because of her CS. Near the end of her life she couldn't be around many other people because she was really susceptible to catching other illnesses so she started talking on an online board and because super close to a few other people with CF. She was also involved with having a documentary made about her.

    Nebb, she's from Burnaby BC.

    And I didn't post the secret. I just happen to work for the same company she once did so I know about her through word of mouth.
  • Holy balls. The newest KPS is redic. Now THAT makes me sad---so for her, and her soon-to-be husband.

    I know, that one is rough.  I know you may lose a lot of money, but it is ALWAYS better to call off a wedding when you knew you shouldn't get married than get divorced, IMHO.
