Hello Terry

Your story is no different from mine.

I am 67 years old. My IPF was dormant for 4 years and then suddenly it started to deteriorate and within 6 months my breathing reached critical levels. At that point in time, I changed my earlier decision not to go for transplant and registered myself for a single lung transaplant.To my good luck, I received the donor lung within a day and the transplant was conducted at St.Vincent Hospital Sydney. Absolutely wonderful team of doctors, nurses and staff.

I am three months into the operation and recovering well at home.

It is a wonderful feeling to see the oxy level at 96 and be able to functional in my day to day life.

My sincere thanks to the donor and St Vincent Hospital . BEST HOSPITAL.

Elevated head reduces the silent reflux and associated cough while sleeping.
I understand, most IPF patients also suffer from GERD & Silent reflux and sleeping with head elevated definitely helps.
