Short Bio

I used to work underground in the coal mines until I was 30, but is a software developer for the last 32 years. I was diagnosed in 2018, and my condition has deteriorated in the last 2 years. I’m not on oxygen yet. My dr told me about ESBRIET, but my medical aid don’t pay for it. It is apparently very expensive, so I’m looking at alternatives – if any.
