Short Bio | I’ve had pulmonary fibrosis for 6 years. After 3 CT scans my scarring has increased. As of 3 months ago,I am on oxygen for day time use, and a CPap at night . I am taking OFEV 100 mg 2 times a day with moderate side effects. I am retired so I can tend to my own needs right now and my caretaker is on standby . Im pretty green at this and I would like to be educated and talk to those people who may have a similar situation. |
