• Wood dust

    My Dr. thinks My IPF may have been caused by wood dust. I have done a lot of wood working in the past. Not only as a hobby but for a living. I would love to hear from wood workers that suffer from a lung disease.

    My late sister had IPF and when she moved into her Edwardian house many years ago, she had the original floorboards sanded down. I was sure this was what caused her lung disease.

    Her husband said why hadn’t it affected him. Anyway the medics she saw told her they could only give her palliative care as they weren’t sure what caused it.

    I have PF but mine was caused mainly by black mould spores and I’m having medication to slow the lung scarring.
