Health problems
Hello, My daughter was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis in january at the age of 8 years. My problem is that she complains of headaches, sleep disturbances and belly ache every evening and the pulmonologist tells me that it has nothing to do with CF. I am worried; can these problems be related to her disease, and can I change doctor, because she did not reassure me especially since it is new for me and I do not have to undergo her unfriendly remarks!

bacterium (Stenotrophomonas maltophilia)
Should a 2 years-old CF child with a newly diagnosed Stenotrophomonas maltophilia in sputum be systematically treated with appropriate antibiotics ? This child who chronically coughs has a current cough increase. On the other hand, we have in our circle of acquaintances a person with a tracheotomy that we rarely visit. Should contacts be totally avoided ? Thanks for your response.

29 years unrevealed illness of CF?
Dear ladies and gentlemen, I am female, 29 years old and suffer since birth from recurrent pulmonal diseases. Bronchitis, pneumonias, pleuritis... When I was 11 years old the left lower lobe of the lung has been resected and then I did relatively well. In spite of the operation I still have about 80% FEV1. However, since 2006 I have a worsening. Since then I get constantly other things, too. Fructose-intolerance (not inherited but acquired), chronic gastritis, chronic inflammation of the saliva glands, pain of the pleura, sickness and abdominal pain (which comes probably from the gastritis, as the enzymes of the pancreas are o.k.), under-weight (which has not been there before)...and the permanent infections of the lung (every 2-4 weeks fever). A genetic test has been performed comprising 92% of the CF-allels present in the german population, with the result that no mutation has been found. But somehow my mysterious symptoms puzzle me and I would like a sweat test having done for sure. Would this be advisable? Thank you very much,

transpiration result
My child (2 years 5 months) had a sweat test result; the result was 46 ... so we found about this disease. I learned that the test should be repeated to know for sure ... The question is: if 2 days before the test the child was about two days infusion of NaCl (+ glucose and some magnesium because he had deficiency in his body), it is possible to influence the Na and Cl concentration in the test?
