MemberJuly 24, 2023 at 10:16 am in reply to: How quickly can pulmonary fibrosis progress?I have read that perifidone is the preferred treatment for UIP. I don’t know too much about it and I have been concerned about the side effects.I coughed a lot recovering from pneumonia and RSV but now the cough is only occasional. Does the cough come on quickly and is it constant? I have so many questions and I welcome reading other people’s journeys to see what to expect. Are you taking any supplements? How soon after diagnosis were you in oxygen? I was on until January but now off. I don’t think there is a support group here. Any information is appreciated! Thank you

I was diagnosed with Usual Interstitial Pneumonia. I haven’t seen any information on that and also IPF. The doctor mentioned OLEV but the side effects look bad and at this point I am not coughing and my oxygen is good but energy levels down.
