Short Bio

I am a 67 year old woman who never smoked or was exposed to harmful chemicals. My parents, however, were heavy smokers and I grew up around a lot of second hand smoke. I was recently diagnosed with IPF which is in a very early stage. I still have 75% of lung function. I will be beginning OFEV after the first of the year, since my co-pay is $2500/month and I didn’t want to waste it on two weeks in December. I would love to hear from anyone on OFEV to share their experiences.
