It is really an amazing thought that one of my life long wishes may actually have a chance of happening. Unfortunately though, I won't do it without the love and support of a wonderful life-partner.... which I am finding I really have no control over that... luck so rarely seems to be on my side when it comes to dating. N1303K - Welcome! Oh boy an FEV1 of 100%?! Now that would be something. I am so far from that it isn't funny, but at least I am still doing ok according to my doctors. As for setting the dating bar too low... any advice on how to fix that? I thought I was fairly picky in my "requirements", but I am apparently doing something wrong.

It seems like your diabetes is staying under control between your diet and insulin pump, and anything that increases your lung function has to be appreciated. While you and I face different physical challenges in life, we both face the same problem of people judging us on what they've heard, read, or just assume. Keep your spirits up and dreams alive, you're going to be a great catch for someone ;), Great to hear your getting “heathier” than you’ve been in years.

I found out I am diabetic last spring and am trying to learn some more about it, especially because my CF docs are not happy that my endocrinologist has me on oral meds, but I must say it is much easier than the shots. Anyway I am 39 and had a child at age 30. Best thing I did and my health was stable throughout the pregnancy. I grew up being told I could not have children but that was not the case at all. Do some research, from what I can tell more and more the research is saying that having a child does not cause harm. I found your blog why looking for info on CF, diabetes, and oral meds vs. insulin.

Far more than many others. I'd like to give a whack-up-the-side-of-the-head to all who have hurt you. You are the strongest, most amazing person I have ever met. Put that on the internet you CF info sites!!!! You ARE worthy! Far more than many others.

Much as you are reaching for an FEV 1 of 100 (or whatever you deem excellent), you deserve someone who will love you so much that it won't matter to your beloved whether you live another week or another 5,000 weeks. Someone like that won't need to surf the web to read all those gloomy and outdated assessments of life with CF -- because the real truth of it all is in the heart and won't be found in someone's disquisition on mucus.
