Mystery illness - seeking opinions
Hi! I guess I am just looking for opinions on whether or not I should seek CF testing. I'm sorry this is so long! Thank you in advance to anyone who can offer some advice.
I've been "sick" on and off for a few years now. As a child I had strep throat A LOT until my tonsils were removed. I was also suspected to have asthma. I don't know how it was decided I didn't. I cleared my throat absolutely constantly but to my knowledge this was not investigated. As a preteen I had a heart murmur that apparently went away and had a couple fainting episodes and was diagnosed with syncope.
I was pretty healthy through my t...

Recently diagnosed at 31
Hi! My name is Krystin, I'm 31 with two kids and here's my story.
December 2012, I was at the beach enjoying myself in a hot tub. Two days later, I started coughing. Productive coughing. I assumed it was bronchitis and went along with my life for 6 weeks assuming it would go away on its own and not wanting unnecessary antibiotics. I broke a rib coughing, so it forced me to the doctor. Diagnosed with bacterial bronchitis and sent home with antibiotics. Nothing. Called the doctor telling them the cough was still present. Stronger antibiotics. Nothing. New doctor, new visit and given 2 antibiotic injections in my booty, stero...

Possible CF (input please)
Hello all. I am a 20 year old male, and was recently tested via sweat test for CF. I received the call five days ago that I did not have CF due to the results, but I am not fully confident (as online research has led me to discover that in some, albeit very few, cases, the sweat test may produce normal results despite the patient having CF). Here's why I am not fully confident:
1) I was diagnosed with asthma at a young age--however, this asthma is so mild that it has a negligible impact on my life as of now. I need to take two puffs of my albuterol inhaler MAYBE once a week, if not less than that. I do not usually need i...

Hi All. Throwing this out there to see if anyone can help. Still no CF diagnoise.
Hi Everyone. Well, I had a ambry Pancreatitis Genetic panel done. Any one else, with pancritis problems, Cf etc, which know of theses mutations. G576A, (likely pathogenic) And R668C. (Variant of unknown Significance) Got as far as a CRMS Diagnose. Told neither of these are CF causing. I don't get this as I am still in limbo, The two high sweat test> 84, and 90. To make this short as I always write a book here, I do have good FVC. Low DLCO. (which I think is heart related) Chronic Asthma, Chronic Sinusitis, Allergies, Chronic Bronchitis, Failure to thrive, malnusorption disorder (most all my life) Chronic Pancri...

Fecal elastase test vs pancreatic stimulation ???
I am the mom of a 4.5 years old child in limbo who may or may not have CF. Briefly: several negative sweat tests, 2 genetic tests that both came back with a variant that's known to be related to pancreatic problems but nothing else.
And 5 fecal elastase tests over the years that came back ranging from 150 to 87 (last one recently), done at least in 2 different labs, collected by either my husband or I. Had been diagnosed as PI. And one pancreatic stimulation test recently that came back all fine, the GI doctor told us: he has no pancreatic problems, give him immodium when he has diarrheas.
He has had diarrheas problems...

Should it be considered?
I know that we are supposed to trust our doctors. They've gone to college for many years and they know a lot. I'm currently 15, a female, and I've had many problems with my doctor. He diagnosed me with asthma about a year and a half ago, and for the most part, I accepted that. But my mom was diagnosed with CF when she was pregnant with my little brother. He was tested, but I never was. My mom brought that up to him when the asthma meds weren't having the desired effects, but he simply told her the tests she had must have been wrong and that she didn't have CF. I unno he's a doctor, and maybe he's right, but I am just so ti...
