Everyday of my life I take about 25-30 pills a day. I take medican whenever i eat.
For a snack I take 3 pills. For a main meal I take 4 pills. I take this pills with any kind of liquid. My breathing is like you breathing through a straw. Its not easy for me to breath. I visit the hospital every 12 weeks for a check up.
Thank You
Hello, I'm Keely.
I am nearly 14 and I also have CF. My day is a lot more than Cassandra's.
I wake up and take a nebulizer called Ventolin (approx. 10 mins)
I then do the mask.
I then do the vest (look it up on YouTube) (exact. 20 mins)
I go get dressed and whatever
I get Tobramycin (neb.,approx. 20 mins) or Colomycin (neb.,approx. 5 mins.)
I go to school or shopping or whatver!
I come home and do pulozine (neb., approx. 15 mins)
Then I start the whole morning thing again and then go to bed!
I go to the hospital around every 2 months and stay in maybe 2 a week for 2 weeks at a go.

Cystic fibrosis currently does not have any sort of cure. Treatment is mainly done to reduce symptoms and complications. Treatment options include antibiotics, mucus-thinning drugs, and oral pancreas enzymes.
How old is a child with cystic fibrosis?
Most people who have this disease die around 35 .
What is the long term prognosis for a cystic fibrosis sufferer?
The long-term prognosis for someone with cystic fibrosis varies greatly from person to person. Genetic mutations, modifier genes, environmental factors, and, to some degree, luck can all influence the progression of the disease. Many people with cystic fibrosis live into their 20s, 30s, and beyond but there are some that do not. There are exciting new drug therapies in the pipeline that have the ability to change cystic fibrosis from a life-shortening disease to a completely manageable disease. For instance, the drug Kalydeco is considered a functional cure for a certain subset of the CF population.
What is survival rate for Cystic Fibrosis?
Cystic Fibrosis is a life threatening genetic disorder. More children are living into adulthood with better treatment options. The death rate is 100 percent, when the lungs and pancreas quit functioning.
Is cystic fibrosis more common in boys or girls?
i copied the following answer from health.howstuffworks.com Unlike some other genetic conditions, cystic fibrosisoccurs equally as often in men and women. The genetic mutation for cystic fibrosis occurs on chromosome 7 and is not impacted by gender. The severity of symptoms related to cystic fibrosis, however, does vary in men and women. In particular, girls with cystic fibrosis have more difficulty with meeting growth milestones and experience more lung-related problems compared to boys. Due to these more severe symptoms, women with cystic fibrosis have shorter life expectancies than men. It is estimated that men with cystic fibrosis live four to five years longer than women with cystic fibrosis, Moreover, under the age of 20, girls have a 60 percent greater chance of dying due to cystic fibrosis complications compared to males [source: Cystic Fibrosis Worldwide]. As a result, the prevalence of male adults with cystic fibrosis is greater than the prevalence of female adults with cystic fibrosis, suggesting a male advantage with the disorder. Cystic fibrosis researchers argue that this gender difference is the result of early-onset lung infections in girls. Girls appear to develop these infections earlier in life than boys, leading to more severe cystic fibrosis complications, and even death. Girls also appear to have greater difficulty maintaining a healthy body weight after puberty compared to males, which places girls at greater risk for cystic fibrosis complications. It appears that this gender gap can narrow if girls are provided with more intensive medical care. In fact, girls and women who receive regular intravenous antibiotics, regardless of their condition, have improved survival rates [source: Cystic Fibrosis Worldwide]. As a result, countries with excellent health care, such as Scandinavian countries, do not have a difference in the survival rate of men and women with cystic fibrosis. i hope it helps:)
