I read with great interest the previous writings here and really can’t add too much to what has already been said.  In 2014 I was having an x-ray done in preparation for a shoulder replacement, when my doctor mentioned the ‘scaring’ in my lungs.  At that time I didn’t think I had any breathing problems.

Since then of course, it has been getting… Read more

Hello,

I have been taking OFEV 150mg for 9 months now and have had blood test done monthly to monitor liver enzymes elevation .  There has been a ‘decrease’ in the progression of the disease since taking OFEV.  The only side effect that I seem to get from this drug is slight nausea around noon hour.  It lasts for about an hour, then… Read more

What beautiful words you wrote and what inspiration it gives everyone to think about how the environment is “resting” for a short time during this horrid pandemic.  I read that birds were heard singing and chirping in cities in China where they haven’t been heard for years.  Yes, I truly believe ‘good’ will come from this and hopefully the world… Read more

Hello:

My name is Carol Dyck and live in Mississauga (outside of Toronto).  I’m 83 and was diagnosed with IPF in 2014, but in April 2019 I started using oxygen for ‘walking’.  Ofev is the only drug I take, so I guess that’s a “plus”.  However, I’m only on my fifth day of taking 150 mg. twice a day, and so far have had no side effects.  After… Read more

Thank you so much for you Welcome. I am fairly new to this disease, although I was diagnosed in 2014, and did not have to go on oxygen for walking until a year ago. I am sure the forum will be of great help to me once I am comfortable finding my way around the site.
Thanks again.
Carol
