Short Bio

I was diagnosed with IFP about 5 years ago, but have always had issues with shortness of breath.  I’ve been taking Esbriet for about 3 years, and my pulmonologist and I are pleased with my progress.  I’m using oxygen most of the time, set at 3, when active.  My 81 year old hubby has dementia and congestive heart failure. He maintains his well being by playing his harmonica, which he loves!  Our daughter lives an hour away, but is very helpful to us when needed!
