When a person has Cystic Fibrosis, at least until

When a person has Cystic Fibrosis, at least until this point, treatments are forever ♾.
It’s important to find a healthy way to welcome these things into our lives, know them as life giving, and spend some time receiving them as such.

An important part of caring for yourself and loved

An important part of caring for yourself and loved ones who are in need of medical treatment is doing research.

Learning all you can about what’s happening in your body and what your options are will help you to be in partnership with your care team.

If you are understandably not up to researching then enlist the help of someone you trust. This could be a close friend, family member, or paid health advocate (worth their weight in gold). Make sure those who are helping you navigate your options understand your values and goals.

It’s not always easy, but your best outcome could depend on it.

The only thing that means for those who actually l

The only thing that means for those who actually live with CF is that May is a designated time where multiple people at once dedicate time to educate and intentionally share and talk about it.
•
I’m grateful for this.
I am grateful that there is a designated month where this is acknowledged and happens.
I’m grateful that so many take the time to share and fundraise.
I’m grateful that because of this that there might be someone else that I encounter in the world who might actually know a little something about what the heck Cystic Fibrosis is.
•
Because of May’s dedication, someone who hadn’t before, might have even the smallest glimpse of understanding about CF.
It means that there might be less chance of encountering someone who says, “Oh yeah, I know what that is, my sister caught that when she was in California”. (Yes, someone actually said that to me.)
•
CF is what is called an “orphan disease”. This means that not enough people have it for the pharmaceutical industry to deem it as profitable, so they have little incentive to market medications. Cystic Fibrosis research also gets no government funding for the same reason.
This is why fundraising is especially important and matters so much for those 30,000 plus who are living with CF. We are all we have AND we are doing a great job.
•
Two organizations that have done so much for families and individuals who are living with CF are the @cf_foundation and @cfri.cure.cf .
If you are looking for a place to learn more, or see how you might be able to make someone with CF’s life a little easier, please check these organizations out.

May is Cystic Fibrosis Awareness Month. Some year

May is Cystic Fibrosis Awareness Month.
Some years I do a lot of educating about CF during May. Well, all year, but particularly May.
This year I am letting myself take a little time instead, to be with what’s here.
That said, I wanted to share at least one post to say, there’s a genetic disease called Cystic Fibrosis.
It’s layered and challenging and does all sorts of different things to a body.
@lovetobreathe does a great job of sharing some of those things so if you want to know more, check out this post and her page.
There’s still way too many loosing their lives and quality of life to CF.
That said, there are some great organizations that are helping those of us who live with it.
@cf_foundation and @cfri.cure.cf are two important ones.
Please consider learning something you didn’t know about CF this month.
Love and gratitude.
💜

Yes to all of this!
This is so important.
Learning to advocate for ourselves is one of this most important things we can do as patients.
It helps ensure we get the best out of the medical system, our team, and ourselves.

All of this.
•
Sometimes it’s important to find partners or people or other living beings in life that can help us to know we are held, know we aren’t alone in whatever we are up against.
•
Being able to find support, whether that’s through reaching out to others, leaning into the natural world, or re-finding connection to the purity of life energy-harvesting this energy as, and even before, it is needed is life sustaining and important.
