| Short Bio | Diagnosed in June 2018, I was referred to the Royal Brompton Hopital, and I started taking OFEV in January 2019. I must say that my feeling is that the OFEV is actualy improving my lungs, not merely slowing down the deterioration. I’ll find out at my next testwhich is in March 2020, but I am able to do things now that I was unable to do earlier this year. I have learnt to manage the side effects with diet and Immodium.
