After starting Trikafta, I decided to try running again, and I grew to love it. Because of COVID, I had to conduct my own races in 2020, but now I have joined a running group and am preparing to run my first marathon at the end of September.

Although I had been told that my coughing would stop, I wish I had known more about the transformative change that Trikafta^® would have on my life. It has almost made me wistful for the time when I was sick, back when I was more in tune with what my body was experiencing.

After decades of identifying myself as Monique, “the girl with cystic fibrosis,” I didn’t know who I was anymore after Trikafta changed my health for the better.

Now that I am feeling healthy on Trikafta^®, I no longer feel special for thriving despite the challenges of cystic fibrosis. I don’t feel like I belong in the CF community anymore, and I miss that sense of camaraderie that comes from a shared struggle.
