What is cystic fibrosis, exactly?

Cystic fibrosis is a genetic condition mostly affecting the lungs and digestive system.

You are born with cystic fibrosis and cannot catch it later in life, but one in 25 of us carries the faulty gene that causes it, usually without even knowing.

Presented by Charles Michael Duke.

My bff has CF. Two years ago, she was in the hospital whole summer, but now she's doing great. Sometimes i think how lucky i am to be healthy and fine. For all of you with CF, i wish you the best and peaceful life.

I just turned 13 years old and have had CF since I was born. It is hard since I'm the only person In my whole entire school who has it. When I take my enzyme tablets, and my nebulisers, people look at me weird and ask alot of questions which make me uncomfortable. I've been watching alot of vidoes about how people deal with CF. It makes me cry all the time, and it has given me depression. I'm always praying to God that I don't die so young. It's scary to say and think, "That's how i may die." Because no one wants to know how they're gonna die. But thankyou for making the video, (Its very late but oh well)! It has made me feel alot better about it. Although It is still in my life, I hope it will make me feel less insecure about a disorder I should be proud of for fighting.

Excellent video Charles.... well done! I know a 57 year old with CF. She still has same lungs (although not perfect) and she's doing fine. "Life does not have to be perfect to be wonderful..."

Great video. Well done to the lad who presented.

I can see a remarkably sad eyes in you, but on the other hand, you are strong enough to face and stall against the crisis. Well done and God bless you

Just wanna say well done to the presenter. He was remarkably well spoken, learnt the lines very well and his energy was up lifting.

I'm not remotely suffering from CF, but I wanna say that the strength in this comment section is unreal. Well done, guys. Just amazing.

My Father had CF and got a double lung transplant while coping with 30% lung capacity, sadly he died around 2 years ago at the age of 47 from Covid, I have finally accepted help from the people who care about me and I’m on the road to recovery.
