Hey Carol,
you weren't diagnosed with cf until you were 31? Wowsers I never heard of that.
My sister had cystic fibrosis and lived till she was 34 back in 1998. That's
why
I'm in the group. I hope you are doing good.

Subject: [Cystic Fibrosis Support] New to group/water and salt


Hi,

I am new to this group as of today. I was diagnosed with CF after my first
child was born, at the age of 31. I am lucky in the fact that obviously I
have a very mild case.

I now have 3 children and all in all am pretty healthy, although my
lifestyle is not very healthy.

I decided I was going to start trying to get healthier in "baby steps". My
first thing was to drink water. I basically live on coffee. Anyway, after
just a day of drinking water I found that my mouth tasted like I had been
drinking ocean water. I have had no luck finding out what this could be
from and have since just started drinking "vitamin water", which got rid of
the salt taste, but I find it makes me kind of thirsty and bloated.

Has anyone ever experienced anything like this?

I haven't look in the archives yet, which I probably should have done before
I posted this, but I am going to look now.

Thanks to anyone who can give me some insight on this.

Carol
