Short Bio | I was diagnosed with IPF over a year ago. My pulmonologist had me try different medications and inhalers. At my last visit, he put me on Oxygen. It is definitely helping. I am trying to adjust to cords, particularly with the Caire portable unit. I get twisted up in the cannula cord, the car charger cord and the seat belt. I would welcome any suggestions! Thanks. |
