This image came across my feed from Everyday Health, and it's a very basic and easy to read explanation of how cystic fibrosis affects those who have it. Not all those with CF have every symptom/issue, and some have every single one. One thing not shown here is that there is also CFRD, or cystic fibrosis related diabetes, which adds a whole different thing to deal with. Something that is sort of a contradiction is the inability to tolerate exercise. Exercise and being active is crucial to help the lungs and heart stay strong, but especially the lungs of those with CF.
There is so much that comes with having cystic fibrosis. And there are many things available to help deal or treat the issues that come. But there is no cure....yet! Wyatt is our why. Wyatt is our reason. And we will be involved in finding that cure.
