I'm sorry you have it but really appreciate your good attitude! I take Bactrim DS 2x/day and that's helped a lot. Pamper yourself and please keep writing!

I am 32 with CF, and like you, I really enjoy exercise and believe it has helped me stay in relatively good health. I also have been getting into meditation and learning more about Buddhist philosophy, though I have only scratched the surface so far. Your plan for dealing with your infection sounds like a good one. Thinking about how meditation might play a roll, I think your idea of seeing it as a "positive exacerbation" is a good one. You might even try to see your suffering with this infection as a way to help relieve the suffering of others with CF with MRSA infections. Through your experience, you can help show others how to overcome a MRSA infection both physically and mentally. In this way, you could definitely turn this into a positive exacerbation. You can be the guide for the rest of us. That said, take care of yourself, and I look forward to reading your next post! Hi Julie,
