So i suffer from cystic fibrosis
to those who don't know:

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a chronic, progressive, and frequently fatal genetic (inherited) dis- ease of the body’s mucus glands. CF pri- marily affects the respiratory and digestive systems in children and young adults. The sweat glands and the reproductive system are also usually involved. On the average, individuals with CF have a lifespan of approximately 30 years.

Hello,

Some companies are very accommodating of disabilities, I presume you have been upfront about your condition from the beginning. Ask your manager what their policies are for disabilities. Employers usually have policies that set out what they do to help support employees. Some companies aren't so good so it would be wise to check it out and then you can hold them to it to help you. It would also be a good idea to talk to your doctor.
