Yes Bridget CF is a horrible disease. 30 years ago, our friends son died of it at age 16. They are still very much involved in CF (fund raising etc) and tell us of the great progress that has been made.
Tell your daughter that the best cure for hang over is the "hair of the dog". (that's my excuse)
My best wishes

Hi Min
I know what you mean. The doc gives me diazepam 5 mgs. He gives me 28 at a time, but
I only take them when a G and T stops working. Packet lasts me about 10 weeks.
Take care
