    Dave Sabatelli replied to the topic Oxygen in the forum Join the Discussion: Welcome to all PF/IPF Patients 2 years, 1 month ago

    The results of my recent 6 min walk test indicated that I qualify for supplemental oxygen during exertion. I now have a OxyGo Next oxygen concentrator. I am very active so I’m trying to adapt portable oxygen in my daily life.  I also believe that I should try to keep my oxygen level as closes as possible to that of a normal person (94 -97).  Unf…[Read more]

    Dave Sabatelli replied to the topic How does taking Prednisone help IPF patients in the forum Join the Discussion: Welcome to all PF/IPF Patients 2 years, 4 months ago

    I have IPF two weeks ago my Dr prescribed 2 20mg prednisone/day for 7 days. I believe the steroid burst help my daily activities  Dr says it can be repeated when necessary.  The steroid did increase my morning BG number but they returned to normal as soon as I stopped taking them.

    As I read thru IPF articles I find many patients are prescribed Prednisone by their pulmonologist.  What are the benefits of taking Prednisone?

    Yes pass this on.  My pulmonologist said “As far as I know this has only been demonstrated in mice.  No human studies have replicated this, and as such no actual medication exists that is FDA approved for use in IPF.”  My next visit is June 2 I will dig a little deeper with him.

    Thanks for your help

    Dave Sabatelli replied to the topic Commonly Prescribed Medication For Cholesterol May Benefit IPF Patients in the forum Flash Briefings & Podcasts 3 years ago

    Thanks Charlene for the research paper. I read some of it but I’m a “gear head” so I let my daughter Angie (medical technologist) read it.  Her reply “The section on page 12 states the results indicate that statins were able to attenuate established lung fibrosis in the mouse.  Attenuate means to lessen the amount or reduce”.  Looks like the resea…[Read more]

    Two days after my open lung biopsy May 13 2019 my Dr confirmed I have IPF. He said there were two drugs available to slow down the progression of this disease Esbriet and Ofev. He explained the side effects of both and recommended I take Esbriet. The main reason, I am very active and with Ofev you need to know where the bathrooms are located. It…[Read more]
