    Hi Myrna! Thanks for joining the forums, we’re excited to have ya here. I am Luisa and I am an adult with CF — I see you’re a mama to one with CF and also a research chemist. Do you ever work with CF?

    I have various friends who are older (40+) who are eligible and use Trikafta. Unfortunately, some of these friends aren’t seeing the same extent of benefit that Trikafta can have. I know this can be super disappointing and frustrating. 

     

    Are you on Trikafta? Do you feel like it’s not working as well as you expected?

    Luisa Palazola replied to the topic When did you first meet another person with CF? in the forum Adults​ ​With​ ​Cystic Fibrosis 4 months, 3 weeks ago

    I was diagnosed a little later than the CF camps, so I never had that experience. I know I grew up (and still kinda am) paranoid of cross contamination, so I veered far away from CF’ers. BUT, my first best friend with CF went to high school with me — so we waved from a distance when we saw each other!

    Hi Bronwyn, thank you so much for sharing your diagnosis story. I am so glad your doc was able to get you a diagnosis — that is wild to hear you have such a rare mutation. Do you believe your scleroderma affects your CF related health (or vice versa)? Sending you good vibes!

    Luisa Palazola replied to the topic Late CF Diagnosis in the forum Adults​ ​With​ ​Cystic Fibrosis 4 months, 3 weeks ago

    That’s incredible! I am glad your brother-in-law had you to nudge him towards diagnosis. I don’t believe there are any known diagnoses in my family. And, to my knowledge I only had a great aunt (passed in the 80s) who demonstrated signs of CF, but of course no one knew why she had chronic lung issues.

    Luisa Palazola started the topic What is the biggest shock since your diagnosis? in the forum Adults​ ​With​ ​Cystic Fibrosis 5 months ago

    I’ve noticed there are a few folks here that are late diagnoses. I  don’t have the same experience, and I only know a life with CF. So, the idea of being diagnosed late is foreign to me. I am so curious to know what your experience is like.

     

    So – for those who have been diagnosed later: how has your life changed since your diagnosis? Do you…[Read more]

    Hello Leslie! I hope you are doing well — I am Luisa and I am Jenny’s co-moderator. I am happy to have you here. I read that you are a late diagnosis. There’s quite a few folks around here who are, too. If you’d like me to introduce you, I would be more than happy to.

    Ah, let me know if you have any more issues logging in. If so, I can definitely help with tech issues.

    How do you feel since starting Trikafta, do you think it’s alleviated any gut issues?
    Yes, CF can be so scary for some folks — thankfully modern medicine has helped so many folks. Looking forward to learning more about you!

    Hi Deanna — if there is not underlying reason not to, I definitely would push for Trikafta. It is quite literally a life saver for a lot of folks, myself included. Let us know any updates.

    Welcome Travis! I just saw your comment and read a little about your CF story. I am glad y’all have a diagnosis now — I imagine it’s not easy! I also have CF and happy you are on the forums — the CF community is one of the best 🙂

    Welcome Travis! I think it’s so interesting (and I imagine so difficult) that y’all had such a cluster of diagnoses! I agree, it is crazy to think of all the folks who have CF and aren’t diagnosed. Years ago it was almost unheard of to have a diagnosis later in life, but I am seeing more folks being diagnsosed.

    I saw this story! Gosh — I never thought I’d become one of these people, but I feel like I have almost forgotten about COVID. I think up until January this year I was pretty hands on (masks, being more choosey about where I spend my time, social distancing, etc). But, dang — I got worn out. Now I’ ve gotten my boosters and am getting my next one…[Read more]
