Guest guest Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 I have seen references made a couple of times now stating that doctors have told parents that their child has a " mild " or " moderate " case of CF. How can this be possible? Thats almost like saying you are only kind of pregnant. I understand that CF effects everyone differently and to different extremes. However, I find it hard to beleive that there are different levels. How can you have cf " mildly " ? You may not have extreme symptoms, but would'nt you think that there is a difference between symptoms and the actual disease. This bugs me. I would hate to think the doctors are saying this to help ease the pain for the parents/child which I think is misleading. lived with this disease for 9 years with no complications, no severe or extreme symptoms, so does this mean that she went from a " mild case " to a more " moderate case " , whats next? Will she graduate to " well its not that bad yet " case which will eventually lead to " theres no stopping it now " case? I just feel like if a doctor tells someone that their case is mild, then he is telling them that #1, it won't get any worse and #2, there is a chance that it will get better. Its just crazy. I could go on for another 2 hours, but will spare you all. Must be pms. Hmmm, no wonder my husband went out of town to go fishing for the weekend. So now you all get to listen to me rant and rave Thanks! e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
