Is it possible to have such a mild case that one's health functions close to "normal" most of the time? I have been battling chronic pain/fatigue due to auto-immune problems, and a few various things have crossed over to reveal a few red flags pointing toward Cystic Firosis. My mom has the same trouble, mine magnified and required help since my early thirties. My first auto-immune battle left me with chronic lower respiratory viruses for 8 months. One after the other, they just kept coming. They never figured out the cause, it just cleared up for a few years. This past summer my son ended up in the ER and spent several days in the children's hospital with pancreatits. They never did figure out the cause. My daughter has spent the past 4 winters with chronic sinusitis, some let up in the summer, but not much. Again, unsure of the cause, as the traditional allergy tests don't show anything. Lastly, I noticed online that some people with C.F. have the clubbed fingers or toes, which my mother has struggled with something that looks quite similar for the past couple years. She has to get her toenails clipped at the doctors because they start to grow back under the skin a bit. anyhow, I guess what I'm asking is do this pieces fit together, or is just some random coincidences?
