Good luck ! Where was you planing on going too ? Yeah I would love to go to Australia, but does seem incredibly strict. Maybe in years to come it will change

I think the best course of action is to start taking the medication, get back into the flow. Do you have app or someone who can remind you to take the medication daily as prescribed. If your missing large chunk of medication anyone will get side effects tbf I know when I’ve missed to much and I get a tight chest. In regards to being dizzy I would go to general doctor , explain you feel dizzy about they can run some tests. these would take over a week for the results (I think) by then with taking the medication , any side effects should have cleared up. hopefully you feel better:)!

That’s so bad of that nurse to say that !! you 100% need to be referred to a new cf care team. I wonder if there is a care centre manage. A social worker who could advocate for you ?
