I have Cystic Fibrosis

I have Cystic Fibrosis. A genetic chronic illness caused by an overproduction of thick, sticky, mucus. One of the biggest parts of having CF is how isolating it can be. Due to the risk of cross infection, people with Cystic Fibrosis can’t meet. The risk of passing on different bacteria to each other is why we have to keep apart - as an infection that may be pretty harmless to me, could be fatal for another. It really is cruel that the only people who truly understand what my life is like, I can never meet up with.
This is why this video is so special. Just all being on screen together, knowing that we are supporting each other, telling our stories, & helping educate people on our illness. I’m so proud of everyone for being so honest & vulnerable - it shows real strength. It’s testament to how strong people with CF are, & I could not be prouder of everyone involved.

came across your channel because of your comment on Isabella Demarko’s video. My little sister (13 y/o) also has cf and this video is amazing!

[@gingerels]

oh mad no way! Aw thank you so much hope you she is doing well 🥰🥰

[@marit2633]

@@gingerels she’s doing really well! She recently was taken into the hospital but before that, she didn’t for almost 6 years! We live in the Netherlands so healthcare is a bit different here and she also has the most common cf mutation so that really helps with having good medicines. I hope you’re doing well and just want to let you know that you are a really strong person! lots of love❤️💕

[@gingerels]

@@marit2633 aw so pleased to hear that!! Oh wow that’s incredible good for her 🥰 yeah it is just luck of the draw which mutation you get, but having the most common one does for sure help w treatments etc - aw thank you so much, lots of love to you both, stay safe ❤️ x x
