Cystic Fibrosis

Cystic Fibrosis, a very common life threatening disease that was first discovered in the 1950's. Cystic Fibrosis is a disease usually formed in early childhood and abnormal viscous mucus affects the respiratory system, pancreas and sweat glands. Symptoms of Cystic Fibrosis are persistent coughing with phlegm, frequent lung infections, wheezing or shortness of breathe and poor weight gain eventhough of a good appetite. Sticky mucus is a complication that clogs the lungs and destroys the pancreas. it refrains the pancreas from creating natural enzymes form helping the body break down food. Daily treatments can ease the feeling of having Cystic Fibrosis. A treatment is a cough exercise to clear the lungs of mucus. more daily treatments will maintain optimal lung treatment and help have a healthy routine. To develop this disease both parents must have atleast one of their alleles containing Cystic Fibrosis for the child to receive it. Unfortunately, one with Cystic Fibrosis will only live up to the average age of thirty-seven. Cystic Fibrosis kills 30,000 people only in the US. Meanwhile, 70,000 people die of Cystic Fibrosis in the World. This disease is most common in Caucasians' but this disease can be given to anyone. Cystic Fibrosis is a disease that has no cure developed yet. This disease is a tragic occurrence. I feel great empathy for anyone who has Cystic Fibrosis. The pain that a person feels with Cystic Fibrosis is unbearable according to my personal opinion. Cystic Fibrosis doesn't allow the victim of this disease to live a complete life. Undoubtedly, Cystic Fibrosis is cruel disease that attacks the victims' respiratory system, pancreas and sweat glands. Anyone who gets Cystic Fibrosis deals with conditions they don't deserve.
