Intro

My name is Juliann. I am starting this blog today to share with my family, friends, and anyone online who is interested in reading about my struggles with Cystic Fibrosis. You may wonder what a day is like for me. A lot of people in my life know I have Cystic Fibrosis, but along with fighting this disease I am also fighting Diabetes (not Type I or Type II, it's a special kind called CF related Diabetes), I also have Asthma. 

Even though life sometimes gets in the way and sometimes I get behind, a typical day for me would be to:

Take 1-2 Vest ThAIRapy Treatments (30 minutes each)
Take 1 inhaled treatment of Pulmozyme
Take 5 Creon Enzymes with all of my meals
Take 3-4 Creon Enzymes with all of my snacks
Take 3 Vitamin related pills twice a day
Take a Liver related pill twice a day
Take Advair Inhaler twice a day
Take Albuterol Inhaler with activity
Use Flonase spray twice a day
Check my blood sugar 4 times daily
Take my Lantus Insulin in a Syringe Pen once a day

Recently, with school and work and internships distracting me I haven't been successfully keeping up on these medications and treatments as well as I should. 
I'm hoping that as I start this blog it will also help me stay on track.
