Hi Lauren! I had a liver transplant I'm 2015 and these videos absolutely light my day up! We have a similar sense of humor approach to life and chronic illness. I share these in my online support group. We adore you 😘 I pray for you each day and hope you find what you need should you need to go back on the list. Such a scary experience but we are strong and will get through it! I understand what you mean about one day being great and the next is much harder to push through. Keep up the great videos, love you! P.s. would you consider delivering Gifted Life merch to the US?? 😘😘
Holly H thank you so much for your comment. Hope all is going best it can post for you! Thank you for your prayers. Yes we can ship to the US but unfortunately it means dearer postage so its aud $50 for a shirt.
I can't believe I JUST found your channel your so great! I love your smile it's gorgeous 😍. I'm also chronically ill and have chronic pain and your videos really help me 💕
Always love watching your videos, Lauren! We just started our UA-cam channel and have a couple of Q&A videos up right now. Hope your lungs stay stable for a long time... and thanks for always make us laugh!!! 💜 Wendy & Jordan
i love your videos! :) i’m a 15 year old girl in the US and i had a liver/kidney transplant when i was younger and i recently developed monomorphic PTLD from it (aka cancer from post transplant drugs). so i’m now back on the list because my liver and kidneys are being rejected and they both have tumors that are making it difficult to function, all this whilst i’m going through chemo. but your videos always make me laugh and smile because it’s something i can finally relate to! i look up to you as inspiration because of how you’ve pushed through everything you’ve been handed with such a comedic attitude. you inspire me to not give up because there is hope for another day :)
Thank you for your channel! I just...can't thank you enough for your videos. They really inspire and give me hope. I'm not diagnosed yet...not officially. I truly believe it's lupus, my symptoms are textbook, right down to the kidneys issue which have just started to make themselves known, of course no one believes me 😕 it's hard, knowing your best chance for help is to actually get worse. I often feel so alone. What's worse though, is in a month I turn 30, and I have nothing to show for the last decade. I'm not married or even dating, I don't have kids, I don't have a degree, or a career. Dread running in to an old class mate for this reason. I was offered a job I want as a preschool teacher, but I don't know if I can take it. I'm sorry for rambling but there just aren't many people who can understand. So just seeing that you've uploaded, seeing you push through through life just...really helps. I know it's hard, I do, and I always want your health to come first, but I hope you keep making videos for a long time to come, you really make a difference. Thank you!
Hey gorgeous, Being undiagnosed would be horrifically draining. I've only had a few incidences in my life when no one could give me answers as to the cause or what was going on at first (not C.F related) and it really takes a toll. Please remember you know your body more than anyone and just because there isn't a definition for it yet doesn't take away with what you are going through. There are some support groups on Facebook for Lupus so maybe, if you havent already, join some and see if you can find any information on how they were diagnosed? As for turning 30 (Im turning 28 this year) I completely get it. The amount of times I've thought I am a failure because I havn't got anything to show for my years etc. Well your mind is telling you bullshit so don't fall into that trap! Don't get me wrong. Its so difficult not being able to live the life you would like to and expect to and not comparing yourself to others your age but just because you don't live your life in a traditional sense doesn't mean its worth any less. Just different. It's tough. but you have got this. And there is a massive online community that has your back.
Thanks for the vids. They bring a smile to a glum day house bound. Will intend on getting ashirt as you can never have enough shirts. I have too many shirts, but too few pants.
You nailed the 'explain where you are with your health'. Its literally like an hour by hour deal. Super hard to explain it to people who dont quite get it... but thanks for the update. Always look forward to when I get that notification of a new video. And hope we are close to colonizing so that they might be close to fixing the 'unfixable'. Belle is my Princess as well ♡ Are shirts only available for purchase in AU?
Thank you. I didn't realise how difficult that one would be to answer haha. This makes me so happy that you like getting notified of new videos. Oh yes wouldn't fixing the unfixable be just wonderful! Belle is the best! as for shirts we are just selling to Au because posting international is so $$$. A few international people are happy to pay postage though so in those cases we do.
Hi Lauren, I completely understand the ups and downs good days/bad days of chronic illness and in my case, chronic pain. (I hope you don't also have chronic pain with CF?? ) You are good at explaining things!!
I have a lot of respect for you with chronic pain. I only have a bit of pain thats managed when it flares up but thankfully am quite comfortable in that regard for majority of the time. x
Hi Lauren! Great video - I love your channel! I was just wondering which websites you use for your online course or if there are any online/distance learning courses you would recommend? Thanks! I hope you have a good day xo
Bless you. Another possible DL transplant? I’m 44, same condition and I still have my own lungs. Cf liver disease worries me and the thought of it packing up... it’s still working but I’m under no illusion it could be a ticking timebomb. Just lost my twin brother to Hepato-renal syndrome at Christmas.
I am so sorry about your brother. That must be just awful. And yes the ticking time bomb I know too well but it is out of our control so I try to put it further down the list of things to think about so I have room to enjoy the now.
Would you ever consider a tattoo? Like some kind of breath/air thing, like a kite. On my index finger I have the tattoo of a little person with a med mask on that my sister suggested. Anyway great video😃
Very good, I can’t it explain it but when you read out my comment, I stopped feeling pain for a minute and just smile. Thank you so so so so so so much, please try to make videos as much as you can but, I know what it is like being sick or feeling crap. Keep making your videos and keep smiling you brighten up so many peoples lives, you make me forget about the pain and just enjoy. Just an idea but you should make some other shirts that are funny about CF or something like that. You inspire me so much, you make me keep going. THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH XX zahra age 14
Girlie I have just screen shot your comment and put it in my favourites on my phone. Thank you for your lovely msg. Hahaha yes ii have though of many shirt ideas but not sure how popular they would be lol. Keep fighting the good fight hun and sending you a massive hug x
Love your channel! The Frey Life is a great CF Channel. You should definitely check it out. Visiting Australia is on my bucket list. I also have several chronic illnesses and can relate. ❤️
I am going to have a look at international postage. We stayed away from it because it was so expensive and didnt seem worth it but we have had a bit of interest so am going to look back into it.
So we can send shirts to the USA for AUD $50 and to the UK for AUD $55. It might be worth having a look into someone else producing them for next time.. great idea!
I hope aliens have better gun laws than my country, too! I didn’t realize you’re lung function was at 30%ish. Im sorry about that! Have a good day/night/whenever you watch this. Sending my love right back!
Can you please post a link to your Facebook page. I’ve tried to click on the links underneath your UA-cam videos but it won’t open. I’ve even tried to search for it and I haven’t had any luck. Is it under your channel or is it under your name I’m just not sure.

I really enjoy your videos, they are super well done, funny and instructive at the same time, and your lipstick is gorgeous, by the way ^^
You have such a great sense of humour (and great comedic timing).
Bhilithinn why thank you. If we don’t laugh we cry right!?
Loved the video as usual!! It's sunny today...Woohoo!! Cheers gorgeous. Xxoo
Sunny day thank goodness. Good sun and good bones!
Next Q&A question- describe your favourite food horribly ( e.g. Pizza- hard thin bread with tomato water and other questionable foods)
Your Average Grammar Nazi love it 😍
You always make the best videos, and your Q&As are the best! Keep being awesome Lauren ❤️💖❤️
Thank you gorgeous girl!!!!
You say youre terrible at explaining it but anyone with a chronic illness totally gets it!! 🙄
emily luvsunicorns thank you lovely x
Ty lauren. Sending my love.
“But shout out to any of my exes watching this. Hi guys!” Lol look what they missed out on

Michael Board pants are over rated.
Oh my god. These questions were so good, I really sucked at asking one LOL. Stay strong and keep fighting! Love your videos Lauren 💜
Thank you!! Which question did you ask Annette?
Gifted Life LOL, who your favorite Utube fan was.....🤣🤣🤣
oh haha Yes! I couldn't answer because I love you all and I also didn't have a physical fan on me to make a totally amazing pun. lol
Gifted Life oooh that would have been crazy funny!

That shade about guns. 💜
I wish we tried as hard to keep guns from people that shouldn’t have them as we do to keep people from voting.
I hope you guys over there get it sorted so you feel safer x
Gifted Life me too. I hope with these students now protesting lawmakers finally listen.
Very good, I can’t it explain it but when you read out my comment, I stopped feeling pain for a minute and just smile.

Angelica Romoli quote of the year!
That gun law comment hahah i love your humor! I agree though, America is shit right now 😂
Is there a possibility of getting a shirt sent to Europe/USA/North Africa?
I am going to have a look at international postage. We stayed away from it because it was so expensive and didnt seem worth it but we have had a bit of interest so am going to look back into it.
Gifted Life Is there another CFer / chronic illness advocate that makes shirts that could produce them for you? Comission or something?
So we can send shirts to the USA for AUD $50 and to the UK for AUD $55. It might be worth having a look into someone else producing them for next time.. great idea!
Noooo Missed it
I wish I could remember what I wanted to ask🤔 Are the shirts available internationally??
I am looking into how much postage would be as I dont think it would be worth it.
They are but they are just more expensive because of the postage. they are AUD $50 for the US
I hope aliens have better gun laws than my country, too! I didn’t realize you’re lung function was at 30%ish. Im sorry about that! Have a good day/night/whenever you watch this. Sending my love right back!
No need to be sorry =) thank you lovely I hope you have a good day too.
