An X-ray and that’s that! I’ll have a follow-up with the doctor in a few weeks to go over all the results. A huge thank you to all the staff who looked after me today. Protect the NHS, it’s very precious. And thank you to you for reading! There’s FAR more I could say on CF… 8/9

Chats with the pharmacist, social worker, dietitian, physiotherapist, specialist nurse - it can all start to feel like some kind of press tour! - just to see how things are physically and mentally and assess if any changes need to be made. Makes the appointment fly by! 6/9

Also in my wait before lunch, I performed a lung function test. This is a staple at any CF check-up - deep breath in and blowing air out as hard and fast as possible. The best way to check lung health! … though it also made me even hungrier… 5/9

These issues with insulin can lead to CF-related diabetes. To give accurate readings for this test I’ve had nothing to eat for 12 hours - as soon as the follow-up blood test has been done I can eat… I’m pretty hungry but not long now 😅 4/9

ECG, blood test & then this glucose drink! CF affects the ability of enzymes and sometimes insulin to get out of the pancreas. So I have to take enzymes in pill form to digest food, and 2 hours after this drink they’ll take more blood to see how my blood sugar has responded! 3/9

Every morning for me starts with chest physiotherapy, breathing in vaporised salt water solution to help thin the mucus in the lungs and huffing and spitting afterwards to help me clear it. The sticky mucus makes it easier for bacteria to settle, so it’s important to move it! 2/9

It’s that time of year again! Today is my #cysticfibrosis annual review and I’ll be sharing updates as I go in this thread. 🔁 RTs for awareness appreciated 😊 CF is a genetic condition that causes a build-up of mucus affecting the whole body, especially the lungs. 1/9 @cysticfibrosis.org.uk

I wrote a book! This is the biggest and best thing I’ve ever worked on. A love letter to Generation 1 and a series that means the world to me. I’m so excited I got to do this, and the art and contributions from other writers are stunning. This really is something special!
