Short Bio |
Trying to establish that either I’m just a carrier with GI, EPI, steatorrhea, elevated AST, elevated cholesterol, gall and kidney stones, etc. or have “atypical cystic fibrosis”. Only the F508del showed up on the basic 60 genetic test; sweat test only 39/44; pattern of bronchectitis not viewed as CF standard; ongoing intestinal permeability; ER hemoptysis ((pint) only once – at age 74, and I’m 76 now. So it doesn’t seem typical, but the GI symptoms have been a bit ‘crippling’ for the last 10 years and I’ve never had an explanation for the other symptoms.

How long have you or the person that you are caring for had CF? |
Since conception?
