Guest guest Posted January 26, 2003 Report Share Posted January 26, 2003 As a parent of a cfer who was treated all along for cf, but not officially diagnosed until age 26, all I can say is that we parents (with and with out cf ourselves) get awfully tired of this one. I would be happy not to have cystic fibrosis, but after all these years, the evidence just mounts. As with any chronic illness, when one finally has a differential diagnosis, an " explanation, " perhaps after many years, doubting it does not con sole either parent or child--unless the child has miraculously suddenly attained perfect health and is totally sign and symptom free!!!! This is about as irked as I have ever gotten on line and I do not like my own tone here, but constant doubt can lead to tragic psychological con sequences for both child and parent. n Rojas, wcf, mom of 3 adults, 2cf carriers and 1 wcf--and in all cases there is no doubt and the expression of it would only give false hope and create confusion----I may be cheerier next time around!
