Do you want to track how your cystic fibrosis (CF) uniquely impacts you?

People in a see-saw in a discussion

“I find it difficult to measure my spiro daily as this causes anxiety.”

Your CF

  • You are likely taking a CF modulator.

  • You would like a way to understand or track aspects of your CF that are not limited to your lung health (reproductive, weight or metabolism).

  • Your mental health is sometimes affected by CF due to anxiety around your health status.

Your Breathe Style

Your use of Breathe RM may vary. You understand the importance of tracking your health, but it can be challenging to record metrics like spirometry or weight regularly. You’re also interested in monitoring non-lung-related symptoms and may have experienced complications or changes that don’t follow the typical CF pattern.

“Postpartum recovery has been more engaging due to statistics provided by the app.”

Featuring a feature

We understand CF is about more than lung health! Did you know you can record and track different types of symptoms? Using the events feature you can monitor everything from stomach or gut pain (gastrointestinal pain), menstruation and swelling (oedema).

​

Take five minutes each weekend (set a reminder on your phone) to reflect on anything new or unusual in your health that week. Be sure to capture it through Breathe, using the events feature. Give Breathe events a go – be consistent with score capture for a burst of time, during menstrual periods, health kicks and when you need more information about your body. This can help you identify and spot trends if you are experiencing a new symptom or trying out a new fitness regime.

If you’re struggling to complete your full scores every day or feeling anxious about your spirometry, you can easily enter a daily wellness and cough score in a matter of seconds. Doing this every day is still a great way to monitor your health over time.

 

A note about weight: weight in cystic fibrosis is a complex topic. The CF Trust have created a series of leaflets on the topic of body image, diet and nutrition in CF. Topics covered include healthy eating, weight gain and weight loss, high and low BMI. You can find them all here. 

If you are struggling with a weight related issue, please discuss it with your CF dietician.

 

CF is different for everyone. We are here to help you understand the unique ways in which your condition affects you.
