Patient
Short Bio

I’ve had “scarring” of the lungs in 2011, which we found out is the beginning of pf.  I have been off and on prednisone or years, sometimes it feels like it’s helping. I do not have coped, just emphasema (sp) and pf, no obstruction.  So no inhalers work.  I went on oxygen 24/7 about 2 years ago, low amounts. Now I am up to 5 at rest and 10-12 at activity.
