| Short Bio | I was diagnosed in April 2018. My family doctor would mention hearing a crackling in my lungs but I don’t think he knew how to link in to IPM. For some reason, I decided to see a lung specialist and the rest is history. I am 70, have never smoked and only worked in a dangerous environment for 3 months right out of high school. It was in a steel mill and began going to college in the fall of my graduating year. Not sure if this was in any way a contributing factor to my diagnosis. |
