"It Only Makes me Laugh" by Oingo Boingo. That song spoke to me as I was going through highschool and fighting to feel normal. I can exclaim that I really had an uneventful youth through college timeframe with CF despite being daignosed with CF at 18 months (1970) and being homozygous with delta f-508. I was clearly affected but controlled on several great medications and a vainly competitive athletic spirit. Yet I knew I was in a constant fight and looked years out to adulthood marriege and eventually slowing down. It could weigh me down at some points and only 'make me laugh' at others.
Twenty five years and two wonderful girls later I have a great respect for the devastating effects that CF can have on health and general lifestyle. Even though the song does not posess an identical meaning these days, it does help invigorate me to working out on those days wherein I need an oldtime boost.
