Luisa Palazola started the topic A multitude of thoughts on Trikafta’s Approval in the forum Adults With Cystic Fibrosis 25 minutes ago
Yesterday I got a screenshot of the FDA’s approval for what is now Trikafta: I’ve been on the study for the last 10 months — and hearing an actual name (aside from triple combo) is bonkers to me. What’s even more bonkers is how I feel: how my numbers have changed, and the ability to wake up and breathe without a slew of mucus const…[Read more]

May you remind me of the name of your books, and I’ll be sure to look them up. And, jeez — post WWII was such an apocalyptic space for the world, toppled with the news of CF… I can imagine you took on that identity to not want to have CF.-
The three books published since my transplant are :Bain’s New York. The City in News Pictures, 1900-1925; Sunny Land. Pictures from Paradise; and Some of Us. (The last two are collections of my photographs. You can see some of my pictures on my website: michaelcarlebach.com

Luisa Palazola started the topic Childhood memories in the forum Adults With Cystic Fibrosis 3 weeks, 1 day ago
Last night I was sharing my thoughts on Instagram stories, as I often do. I began reminiscing about childhood and all the things I used to innocently think. It started a dialogue with my CF friends, and we began sharing things related to how we saw CF when we were little, here are two of my absurd childhood thoughts:
1. I was diagnosed late with…[Read more]

I’m well! Head ache-y today, haha! But, on this particular forum, I don’t think so — but, we are so welcoming of others! However, I also manage our social media, and through Instagram, I’ve met various people from Australia with CF. And, yes — if you sift through the different forum topics, you’ll see we’ve got all sorts of discussions on… -

Oh my gosh, that’s so cool. Are your books available to order on Amazon. And, I can’t imagine what it is like to lose four siblings. CF is brutal, especially when the medications and therapies haven’t been there. Also — I will be in North Carolina next month, but I am going to Charolette!-
I think all of my books are available through Amazon, though I haven’t looked recently.
When we were all growing up there wasn’t much talk about CF in the family, and about the only treatments available were antibiotics and back-slapping percussion. Terrible for our parents who had all those babies after WWII only to find out that the…-

Have you seen these stats before, our team at CF News Today came up with this neat infographic of strides recorded by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. And, I think it’s pretty phenomenal:

Luisa Palazola started the topic Migraines in the forum Adults With Cystic Fibrosis 4 weeks, 1 day ago
I’ve been dealing with pretty gnarly migraines over the last few weeks. I’m no stranger to migraines, in fact when I was 16, I was admitted because of getting migraines. That admission, I also had an MRI of my head — and, it turns out I have a birth abnormality called Arnold Chiari Malformation — type 1.5 to be exact. It’s the when the

Pues todo bien por ahora, he tenido muchas problemas con la hemopytsis. Pero estoy en una de las estudias de Vertex, y ese medicina me ha cambiado todo. Y bueno, como el FQ es una enfermedad hereditaria, todo la vida. Pero me diagnosticaron un poco tarde — a las 9 años. Y vos, a que edad te diagnosticaron, como le va con tu salud? -

1. Christina Randall’s channel. She is a becoming YouTuber who has chronicled her experiences in prison with rawness and realness; something totally foreign to me and I think offers a facet of life outside chronically ill life.

I wrote this a few months ago, it’s an unedited culmination of my thoughts on living with CF:
“It’s CF Awareness Month. There are a lot of ways people choose to see their disease, if they even want to see it as a disease.
This is how I feel:
