living with CF as a 17 year old.

I’m 17 and was diagnosed with CF at 3 months old. I have a friend that also has CF and we go to the same school. I’ve known her since I was in kindergarten. I find it difficult to talk to anyone about all the problems my CF causes me, because it’s a hard disease to understand.

  1. , I can definitely understand how talking to others who don't have CF is challenging. They don't know everything you're going through on a daily basis which makes it tough to truly connect. Are you able to talk to your friend with CF? I wonder if she feels the same way as you. Sending love your way! - Sarah, Cystic-Fibrosis.com Team Member
