Hi,
My partner has CF and is 31. He has relatively good lung function, and is a very strong person.
I am curious on the impacts of travelling overseas on someone with CF... because we would love to travel, but he says that many CFs who travel die younger because of how the high altitude and pressure affect your lungs.
Can anyone offer advice or recommendations about travelling overseas and any ideas on research to back up that it has a negative impact on CF health?
I trust what he says, but if there were any ways to make travel a possibility, then I would love to know!
Thanks,
Shell

Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
