Short Bio

My husband, Mike, 73, was diagnosed with IPF in 2014.  He hasn’t had much in the way of symptoms except a cough.  Recently his pulmonary function has suffered and his Pulmonologist wants him to begin taking one of the two new medications.  We are looking into those now.  We are both seeking information about any treatments which might help.  He is active, playing golf 3-4 times a week and walks for an hour on the other days.  No substantial change in his energy levels.
