Oh, I thought a majority made it past 20 these days. I was doing some background research on it recently but the info on the net is kind of all over the place. Most seem to be really optimistic about the treatment of CF.. maybe because most of the sites I checked are for families of patients.
After my PhD is complete here in Wisconsin I'm going to be all about respiratory research.. hopefully in CALI!!
Oooh, maybe I can do some research on you Lonestar AKA Incognito.
"Shit man, I'd have killed myself by now."
Not the positive emotional support CF patients typically require...
I'm up for some research. :lol
Anyway, patients tend to be more optimistic about treatments, but I think that's because such treatments(IV) are very, very powerful and sucesseful. But such treatments can only last so long, so it's up to the patient themselves to really force the issue as far as exercise, eating, and breathing treatments; otherwise, they, like a lot of other CF patients at the hospital I attend, will be finding themselves admitted 5-6 times a year.
That's unacceptable to me and I was only admitted twice during 2004.
Desperado, if you're a patient with that attitude, you're in a world of hurt.
