Best advice for PF symptom management

PF sufferers. Please check your immune system condition. If it is out of balance it will attack all body organs including lungs. If not stopped it will kill you. This condition is treated by Immune system suppressants or complete transplant using stem sells. It may be your own or donor stem sells. My immune system went haywire and in 2014 I was identified with Scleroderma. By 2019 I was barely able to take shower on my own. Same year I had immune system transplant done in Ottawa General hospital. Today, 2.5 years after transplant I am newly immunized and successfully run my own business. My lungs will never fully recover from being fibrosed but they are good enough to live normal life.
