I was on Esbriet and developed itchy, almost like measles. I had to come off because they said it was an allergic reaction. Raised, itchy red bumps all over. I was put on antibiotics and a prescription CeraVe cream. It took about a month to go away.

Hi,

I have IPF. I am currently on Ofev and being evaluated for a transplant. I’m not on any IV therapy and, as yet, do not require 24/7 O2. I have had 2 Moderna vaccines and 2 Moderna multiclonal vaccines.

I did test positive for COVID. I immediately went on Paxlovid. I honestly have had worse colds. Slight sore throat, no increase in cough from IPF dry cough, and sniffles. Even the fatigue didn’t seem greater than what I am used to.

 

maybe I was lucky.
