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.
