Short Bio | I am a 76 year old male who was diagnosed with IPF in 2011. I had many years of stability and could do most chores, go to stores, visit family and friends. I began a decline last summer and this summer find myself unable to do much of what I was used to. On O2 at night and more often now during the day. My father died from PF and my older sister and brother have also been diagnosed with IPF. Pretty certain there is a genetic/familial connection. |
