Worth More than the price of admission! *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2014* For anyone who has ever dealt with a serious chronic disease, this book is a welcome respite from the usual BS, positive thinking, good-doobies, faith healers and other assorted non-sense. I don't know the author but I do know a lot about life with a major lung disorder...how people respond, how they fail to respond, the absolutely asinine and stupid remarks, the well intentioned but oh so utterly predictable 'help", the constant and ongoing comparisons and complaints which are as far removed from the day to day reality of life as they can be...it's like seeing someone with a dagger sticking out of their head then saying you've had a headache. This book tells it like it is - straight talk about living with a serious and chronic disease that can...and probably will...eventually take your life.If that sound somewhat dull or morbid...it's not. The author does a great job infusing humor into the utterly ridiculous chaos of life while also providing much needed insight into how to take it seriously while still taking it all in stride. Yes, it's a fine balance but one that everyone facing a serious disease must eventually grapple with...along with their family and loved ones.The book is also informative. In fact, the first few chapters covered more than about a dozen overpaid specialists managed to communicate when we were initially faced with the prospect of flutter devices, postural drainage, salt treatments and so forth. Some of the content is pretty graphic...but that too is valuable especially for those who have little to nothing to compare. In short, this is real information from a real patient...it's the type detail rarely available from the "experts" who have nothing more than second hand experience to share.Who should read this book?1. Anyone with a healthy sense of humor!2. Anyone with a chronic health disease who is sick and tired of the BS.3. Anyone with a NEW diagnosis who will soon encounter a new side of family, friends and coworkers.4. Family, friends and coworkers of anyone with a major medical diagnosis.5. Anyone with a lung disorder...seriously, you will relate!6. Anyone with a digestive disorder...again, you will relate!7. Anyone who has been F#$!!*d by a situation in life.In short...well worth the read! Good stuff, straight talk on a serious subject and worth more than the price of admission! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Enlightening and hilarious *by S***J on Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2019* Jay Gironimi's personal narrative of life with Cystic Fibrosis is an honest, direct take on living with the disease. He doesn't beat any bushes and he doesn't spoon feed the reader. There are times when he talks about his disease like a friendenemy and times when he takes a distant association with it, which leaves the reader both understanding CF on an up-close level, then having to read between the lines to grasp the metaphor. Give those metaphors a chance. Think them over because they are worth your time. That being said, take each chapter as an essay and separate point. Don't look for a flowing story here, but do look for a glimpse of the confusion and rage that come with a chronic illness, and the love and courage that go with living each day finding the most happiness you can, while employing the skill of using the F word as a release valve for what can not be expressed. All in all, this book is an excellent read and I recommend it to anybody who wants to deepen their understanding of the experience of having Cystic Fibrosis. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I literally laughed out loud multiple times *by M***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2019* This book was amazing. I heard Jay on TPKWY this last week and knew I had to read his book. I bought it the next day and read it within about 30 hours. Should I have been focusing on my work? Probably. Was it worth ignoring the world around me? Heck yes.As someone with an autoimmune disease and chronic pain, it was awesome to read how another person just gets the BS of life. Jay's morbid humor is everything I look for in a person. His voice is incredibly relatable, if you are a sarcastic A-hole, like myself. I was a few pages in and already suggesting it to so many people.I can't articulate how much I loved this. Thank you, Jay for your story, and to the Erins at TPWKY for introducing me to this awesome dude.Edit: This review had to be edited for language, probably...PS: Check out his YouTube channel! He has a few videos that will help give visualization to some of his experiences. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/1702664-cant-eat-cant-breathe-and-other-ways-cystic-fibrosis-has](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/1702664-cant-eat-cant-breathe-and-other-ways-cystic-fibrosis-has) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-18*
